United States: Another attempt to assassinate the former President of the United States Donald Trump was repulsed; a sniper who got within a few hundred yards of Trump on Sunday while playing golf in his West Palm Beach Florida club armed with a scoped AK-47 rifle. 

As reported by the New York Post, It is the second assault by a crazed man who used an attack rifle to assassinate the 45th president in two months. 

As the sheriff of the Palm Beach County, Ric Bradshaw said that the suspect spent his time close to a chain link fence, roughly between 300 and 500 yards from Trump during the time he teed off at the fifth hole around 2 p. m., adding that “Well, with a rifle and scope like that, like, that is not a long distance.” 

Police informed The Post that the suspect is Ryan Routh a man from Hawaii aged fifty-eight years the man had been advocating for progressive candidates and causes on social media platforms and was a regular giver to Democratic candidates. His LinkedIn page depicts him as a learner at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, though he seems to have moved to Hawaii around 2018.

On the page he describes himself as ‘mechanically minded’ and states ‘Work has never been about money rather building frameworks for people to thrive and succeed. ’Criminal records Department of Adult Correction North Carolina Someone with the same full name and date of birth as Routh has more than 13 charges 2001-2002, including carrying a concealed weapon and hit and run. 

He also was charged, in April 2002, for what seems to be a quite serious felony, more specifically, “possessing weapons of mass destruction” according to the records. On Sunday, the accused wannabe assassin placed a GoPro camera on the fence to record the shooting: that was part of the actual sniper’s nest that the accused created in the hedges next to the Trump International Golf Course – the place where he waited for Trump to appear. 

A Secret Service agent spotted the suspect as he stuck the barrel of his rifle through the chain fence on the outskirts of the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach South. 

The agent who was a golf hole ahead of the Trump opened fire on the suspect who totally got fled, this is told by Bradshaw. 

Authorities have yet to determine if the shooter got off any rounds at the Secret Service agents or at Trump. 

Even after the fact that the ex-president came within a few centimeters of having his head blown off barely almost two months ago and the Bradshaw indicated the Trump’s security detail was lighter than the president Biden because he is not sitting commander-in -chief. 

At this level that he is right now and he’s not the sitting president and if he was we would have had this entire golf course surrounded but because he’s not and the security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible said the Bradshaw. 

The things that have been patient with the people who have been living for the one who have always been living the society where the thing would have been so different.
