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
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.
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?
Trump is only entitled to ex-President and candidate protection. It's a lower tier of protection with fewer resources expended.
When you're as big an asshole as Trump, it's not really motivating for anyone around you to do more than half-ass it.
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.
I guess the NYTimes interviewed home back in 2023?
Did he volunteer to fight in Ukraine war?
In 2023, Routh told the New York Times he spent several months in Ukraine amid the war with Russia. He also said he had tried recruiting Afghan soldiers who opposed the Taliban to fight in Ukraine.
Gift link to the NYTimes article
A fucking spook cut-out trafficking mercenaries from Afghanistan to Ukraine goes rogue and takes a pot shot at a presidential candidate?
This is going to give conspiracy nuts a hard on for the next five years, easy. What are the odds Jack Ruby plugs him a few times in the gut on national camera before the end of next week?
He seems more like an independent nutter who suffers from mania than any kind of an actual spook.
You have $100 and get to bet it on, is the shooter a:
A) drag queen
B) immigrant
C) republican
Trick question? he seemingly switched to a D after voting for Trump in 2016.
From his social media he was supporting Tulsi Gabbard and then later Nikki Haley.
Thoughts and prayers. Also...he voted for tRump in 2016.
Just like the OTHER Assassinator these are CLEARLY Democrats as Demonstrated by ONE small piece of Evidence in a Sea of Right Wing Krazy!
