I never thought I would have to write these words: my former boss – the President of the United States, the 45th President, the current leader of the opposition – was involved in a second attempt to take his life this weekend.
It was at Trump International Golf Course, not far from his Mar-a-Lago home, where the individual concerned managed to gain access to the golf course. Apparently, according to the latest reports, he had been in the area for a whole 12 hours. That individual, Ryan Routh, secreted himself in the undergrowth along a fenceline, within maybe 300 or 400 yards of the President, who was playing golf, during which time a Secret Service agent saw his weapon protruding through the chain-link fence and opened fire on Routh.
Routh proceeded to leave the scene, leaving his body armor and his weapon – a semi-automatic SKS-style Russian scoped rifle – at the scene. A bystander who heard the shots photographed Routh getting into his black Nissan, and the plate was, therefore, at that point, provided to the authorities. It was input into the state database for plate screenings for cameras that can read the license tags of vehicles, and Ryan Routh was intercepted by the local sheriffs and captured alive.
We have lots of videos concerning this individual, who was a Democrat donor, again, just as was the case with Thomas Matthew Crooks, the attempted assassin from Butler, Pennsylvania, who actually wounded President Trump at that event 9 weeks ago.
Routh was heavily involved in the Ukraine conflict, maybe not as a combatant, but allegedly recruiting foreign fighters for that war, although that has yet to be confirmed.
His social media accounts have been deleted. God bless those like Chris Elston who managed to capture the posts of his Twitter feed and also his Facebook feed, one of which I already posted, which should be of no surprise to anyone who knows what the Democratic Party has become: It is a map of the Middle East, and it states the following in bad grammar:
“I am unclear what part of Isreal the Jews owned based on this historic map; Judea perhaps? It seems to historically all be palestinian.”
Right, another Democrat Jew-hater. No surprise there.
There are only two important conclusions to draw at this time:
First: the Secret Service is utterly and completely unfit for purpose. Anyone – and I see conservatives doing this in the last 48 hours – who represents this as a Secret Service success is either a moron or an establishment hagiographer trying to protect that institution. A man with a rifle getting within firing range of the principal you are trying to protect, and only being detected once he is fired upon is not a successful scenario. A would-be killer with a longarm should never ever be capable of getting within rifle range of a president, or a former president, or the leader of the opposition and nominee for his party.
There should be a physical perimeter which extends beyond rifle range. There should be, in the age of $29 UAV drones available on Amazon, a capacity to surveil the area where the president is in the open. Neither of those occurred, and as such, this incident, as with Butler, is an abject and catastrophic failure. The whole Secret Service should be disbanded today. I have posted on my Twitter account that Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. should immediately hire a team of several hundred former tier-one operators, members of the SEALs, DEVGRU from Dam Neck, and those individuals should be securing the president. I am convinced of the fact that supporters of the president would fund that security detail for the next 50 days, and I will be the first person to make a donation to that cause.
That’s an operational conclusion. The strategic, political, and civilizational conclusion is that the people who bear the most responsibility for Butler, for this weekend, for the woman who posted an envelope of ricin poison to President Trump – because, you know, that happened, but you didn’t hear about it – is the Democrat Party. The current candidate, Kamala Harris, and the current incumbent, Joe Biden, have both called President Trump an existential threat to America; a wannabe dictator.
An “existential threat.” It is that language, along with the violent language of the likes of Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer – remember the Supreme Court, “you have released the whirlwind, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch,” or Maxine’s “if you see a member of the Trump Administration in public, surround them and harass them” – that is the Left.
So if anyone beyond the trigger-pullers bears responsibility, it is the modern Democrat Party. They have demonized President Trump, and they wish him dead. And this will not be the last attempt. Keep him in your prayers. Support him. But if you’re listening Eric, if you’re listening Don Jr., you cannot trust the Secret Service for one more minute.

Mr. Gorka is correct for Trump sons to hire former-seal men to protect our beloved President, because it is now clear, the the Democrat’s last chance to hold on to power is to kill Pres. Trump because all their attacks has failed. So sad for evil to proliferate. May God bless us all with wisdom to do HIS WILL and not our own flawed will.
The FBI, CIA, Homeland security and any other so called security forces should be dissolved and started again with true patriots as the managers. If the Democrats are involved it will just be another partisan protection force for the DNC.
The problem is the communist left has full control of media outlets. Even the Republicans that appear conservative act as if there’s nothing they can do to change it. I call them Republicrat’s. Folks we have passed the point of no return. The only thing Trump can do is slow the change down and perhaps help with the economy positively. But it’s come to late. The dems control almost all media narrative and keep pushing extreme policy ideas unchallenged. 1933 Germany is upon us. The same manipulation of media and police forces are not much different now. Remember defund police and riots in. Minneapolis and Seattle was peaceful and the looting of stores in LA are acceptable as long it’s under $1000.00. Wow folks.
DID SOMEONE GIVE THAT DEMONRAT A HEADS UP ON TRUMP PLAYING GOLF THAT DAY TO BE HIDING OUT FOR HOURS? I DONT THINK HE ADVERTISES HIS FREE TIME. THE DEMORAT IN PA HAD OFF SHORE ACCOUNTS,HOW MANY 19 YEAR OLDS HAVE OFF SHORE ACCOUNTS?THATS WHY HE HE WAS SHOT SO HE COULDNT TALK. I EXPRESSED 2 YEARS AGO THE ONLY WAY THE SWAMP WILL BEAT TRUMP IS TO TAKE HIM OUT. LETS ALL HOPE THAT DOESNT TAKE PLACE
Can’t wait to see Trump “cleanup the Marxists” in our Federal Government in 2025
Both of the attempts are fishy. Just so” happened” that at two locations a failure in coverage of the victim and men with assault rifles just “happened” to be nearby at the time???? No one will convince me that the DC Marxists ( the same ones that set up the “insurrection”) are not trying to get Trump killed. Why are are these people trying to stonewall us about the details?? Our current regime has proven many times that they cannot be trusted. Their over whelming lying is done because if we knew everything they are doing, they would never be elected again!!
FBI frame-up of General Flynn prevented the swamp draining, and now Trump is really sorry he let them get away with that.
USSS, FBI(Corrupt), CIA(Corrupt) have all failed at protecting the President. It is appalling!! We need someone like Dan Bongino who could weed out the ones that want to harm or have him killed. He knows how this works and how to protect the President. Then Bongino could hire and place the correct people to protect him! The President needs his own security people!!
Disband the Secret Service, FBI and CIA. The government can’t build a bridge in 10 years yet installed a Gestpo like agency in Homeland Security within a month of 9-11-01. Fire all the woke generals, hang the traitors and set our country straight.
we only have one group in this country that has publicly vowed to do anything and everything it can to make sure Trump never gets back in the Whitehouse. Thats the Democrats. Draw your own conclusions.
Yes, I think the Navy Seals and Vererans would be great to protect our President Trump. Maybe even the Military and Swat Team, dont laugh, it is getting that bad. We can not let the Dems take over. Vote Early and Vote SMART. DO your research before you mark your ballot. Our Country is depending on us. KamaHAHA is out there putting down Trump and spreading lies, and what is sad is some people even believe her lies. She will say anything and everything to get power. We can’t let her. Vote Trump!! WWG1WGA. Trump Trump he’s our man and if he can’t do it no one can. At least we know that he will do what he says and as our President will work for all of us and not just foreign countries. We need a real President that can speak full sentences and not a Word Salad of lies. VOTE EARLY AND VOTE SMART!!
I’ll donate to a real security team to keep former President Trump and JD Vance safe. It is great we still have some Seal Team Members and other dedicated veterans around town.
Same people from the first
the federal government itself.
Who’s responsible for the first?
Sounds like a man with tremendous foresight that all Americans should read and adhere to for the survival of our democracy!
Some of us aren’t qualified to do anything but pray, and that’s more important than anything . God isn’t looking down at us and wringing His hands.
Another assassin with FOREIGN connections. The first one has encrypted foreign accounts. Why would a “normal” teenager have these? Now, a recruiter for Ukraine who “supposedly” voted for Trump in 2016 but is now rabidly Democratic. WHO is behind all this? Soros, ChiComs, ??????????????
It’s God’s gift that he’s survived two attempts to take his life. He needs security not controlled by the three letter intelligence agencies— who obviously want to see him on a slab. The FBI, CIA, etc are a national shame and should all be fired on the spot. Any agency this incompetent certainly doesn’t deserve our tax money.
Trump in, existing passel out, yes I would call that an existential thread and can see them kicking, biting , slashing stabbing, nothing, not even the murder stopping them.
Well I would check out the 51 former federal agents that signed the letter stating Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian information/interference. They still have security clearances. If Trump gets elected, I hope he jerks everyone of their security clearances from them.
Deep State for all plots on Trump
A woman mailed ricin poison to Trump? I never heard that, and I never heard of the golf course attempt on the media news at all, just from AMAC.IF ANY OF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO A DEMOCRAT THEY WOULD STILL BE BLOWING UP OUR TV WITH IT. Nothing but crickets for Trump.
You know, crazy isn’t just specific to demoncrap loons. There are lunatics in all walks of life and on both sides of the aisle. If the demoncraps continue to try to assassinate President Trump, and God forbid they succeed, they will more than likely trigger a domino effect that they’re not banking on. I put the blame for all of this on komrade kacklin’ kammy and tampon tim. They should be out there denouncing this BIG and they’re not. They continue with their lies and BS rhetoric. They should all be held accountable for their BS.
Sure hope nothing happens to trump. Democrats will regret that!
A guy in a pink shirt camps out with an SKS scoped rifle for 12 hours on a golf course Trump is one hole away from and the head of the Secret Service says the system “worked”? If Trump is a target, so are we! One of these times, one of these lefty loons are going to realize there are a 1000 or so unarmed Trump supporters waiting in line to get inside a rally venue one of these times… no one guarding us! Think that “system” will work?
Amen!
The end portion of the audio of this article has already been distorted in an attempt to silence truth and free speech! This is democracy?
Whose responsible for both attempts,the vile garbage mouth leftist,liberal democrats and everyone knows who these foul mouth”wonders”are.
We, the Republicans, you know, the ones with working brain cells, have known from the beginning the harassment of President Trump has always come from the current deep state democrat party and they won’t stop until they have either killed him or they are finally seen for what they are and executed for treason to this great country of ours.
We have both the most corrupt government and the wimpiest Congress in the history of the United States of America.
The government keeps selling us out to our enemies day after day and Congress sits on their thumbs looking on like it was some adventure movie and doing NOTHING!! Time to vote them out and get some men and women in there who have President Trumps’ fighting spirit.
If anything happens to Trump we can go straight to Obama and wring his scrawny gay neck for treason, murder and various other crimes he has committed against America.
God loves Trump and we who pray are praying for his safe being. God also loves America so I have high hopes for a victory for this country in November.
The Democrats are behind the assassination attempts, they want Trump gone.
The whole Administration
Sounds like a lot of people were aware of this section of fence & that news media used to take pictures from this area. Why wasn’t this area blocked off from tourists? Was Trump awae of people taking pictures from this are ?Maybe, Trump golf courses need a wall like the Mexican Border!
The solution to U.S. government malaise is to replace 50% of the bureaucracy with A.I. The remainder of these employees that still have jobs will be so busy working for perhaps the first time in a governmental careers that they will be too busy to play lock-step Democrat stooges. Then move DC to some location in western Kansas where only members of the government would ever willfully go. Take the “PARTY” out of political parties. Make government business as usual. Oh, and make it mandatory that all government “turds” read and understand the US Constitution…
