Investigators reported that Ryan Wesley Routh, who faced charges for preparing to assassinate Donald Trump, waited near the golf course for about 12 hours before being confronted. Security measures around Trump were questioned following this security breach, highlighting increasing concerns about his safety and the effectiveness of the Secret Service. President Biden addressed these issues, emphasizing the necessity for Congress to provide more resources to the Secret Service to better protect the president.
The secretive nature of the event became more pronounced as questions arose regarding how a gunman could come so close to Trump so soon after a similar incident. In a recent case, Routh, previously interviewed about his experiences in Ukraine, seemed unprepared for the seriousness of his actions. This history complicates considerations about his mental state and intentions at the scene, indicating a potential breakdown in security protocols or situational awareness.
