Ryan Routh, the suspect who hid in the bushes at Trump's West Palm Beach golf club waiting for his shot at former ex-president - AK-47-style rifled at the ready, serial number filed off - wasn't some 20-year-old without a political paper trail, like the first would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks. Routh, 58, 'frequently posted about politics' on X and other social media, had a Biden-Harris sticker on his truck, 'and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019,' The Post reports.
But if the cause of democracy in Ukraine was worth killing for, what about the safety of democracy right here in America? Routh took both literally and seriously Democrats and progressives who say Trump is a threat to America's institutions and the rule of law itself. 'DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose,' Routh wrote in a tweet to President Biden in April.
