Seems like he voted and supported for Trump, got disappointed by Trump, listened to Trump’s and Republicans’ call for political violence to solve political problems.
And here we are, leopards are now eating their faces.
According to NC voter rolls he did not vote in 2016 or 2020. Voted in the Democratic primary in March but social media post were all over the place. Unwell mind
Routh, according to the New York Post and archives of his X account, said he voted for Trump in 2016.
“I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving; are you retarded; I will be glad when you gone,” Routh posted.
It keeps getting reported he voted for Trump but unless he was registered to vote in another state he did not vote in 2016 or 2020. Imagine a guy making claims on social media that were untrue.
So he’s a jaded Trump voter. See this is what I had expected the first one to be, but it turns out he just hated politicians and picked the first idiot that showed up in his town. That idiot just so happened to be the orange one. This crazy person actually had buyers remorse and… uh… wanted a refund or something? Anyway he’s a loser and a failure now, just like Trump. So now at least they have that in common.
listened to Trump’s and Republicans’ call for political violence to solve political problems.
seems like he’s had a violent/criminal streak going back decades. not sure you can really tie this to trump.
Giving habitually violent repeat offenders more reasons to be violent is always an issue.
Manson didn’t go to jail for murdering anyone. Manson went to jail because he conspired and convinced other people to murder for him.
the reason could simply have been a severe dislike of Trump, not necessarily that he was pushed to violence by Trump’s rhetoric.
Routh remains listed an active unaffiliated voter in North Carolina, according The News & Observer, a McClatchy publication in North Carolina. As unaffiliated voters can choose which primary they want to vote in the state, Routh voted in the Democratic primary when he cast a ballot this spring.
Was he a Trump supporter?
Routh, according to the New York Post and archives of his X account, said he voted for Trump in 2016. “I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving; are you retarded; I will be glad when you gone,” Routh posted.
How are these shooters getting so close to a former president? Did Trump pick his Secret Service detail personally and end up with the protection detail equivalent of the Bad News Bears?
First a former president rarely is so public. I don’t know where any other president’s houses are…other than bidens since I love in Delaware.
Second, Trump has made enemies his whole life.
Last, he won’t shut up. Which makes more enemies
GWB retired to his ranch in Texas. I THINK Obama opted to stay in DC until his daughter finished school. No idea if that has finished. I think Clinton is in NY?
secret service really can’t just shut everything down when he shows up for a golf or something. Especially for his routine and daily life. It sounds like the guy was standing around a public right of way along the perimeter of the golf course.
my understanding is the agents sweep the next hole ahead of trump getting there, and that’s when he was noticed. (I assume control both that, the hole trump is on, and the previous, to keep anyone from coming up behind,)
the thing I don’t understand is how somebody would be just chilling with a rifle out in plain sight like that. Even the PA guy knew to keep the rifle tucked away before it was time, right?
Florida (desantis) recently enacted concealed carry, so I’ll be curious to see what law this nut actually broke.
Trump is only entitled to ex-President and candidate protection. It’s a lower tier of protection with fewer resources expended.
Exactly. He gets the team of “six months to retirement” agents, not the roid-raging chads.
The first one was clearly a miscommunication leaving a gap. Someone needed to be fired over that.
Unless there is more since the press conference, this one seems to have been well handled. There is no way to secure an entire golf course, unless Trump was willing to goto Camp David so they covered around him and ahead of him. Last I heard, the guy never had an opportunity to shoot. An agent clearing ahead of Trump spotted the shooter and laid down suppressing fire making the guy run
“…are you retarded; I will be glad when you gone,” Routh posted.
hahahaa
I got curious and did a stupid thing of checking on a certain sub. There must be 15 or so posts about this, quickly trying to point out all the reasons that it couldn’t be one of their own.
