New Details on Trump’s Attempted Assassin Emerge:  Arrested 74 Times, But No Prison

Another shocking assassination attempt on Donald Trump has rocked the nation. This time, the former president narrowly escaped an attack outside his Florida golf club.

The would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, had sinister plans that, thankfully, never came to fruition. It’s the second time in just a few months that Trump has been targeted, a chilling reminder that the threats against him are very real.

What’s even more concerning is the lack of widespread outrage. Where are the headlines? Where’s the wall-to-wall media coverage? While the mainstream media seems more interested in talking points, Trump’s supporters are left wondering why these attempts aren’t getting the attention they deserve. Imagine if the tables were turned. It’s a sign of the times, and it’s downright alarming.

From The Blaze:
Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker has done some digging on the would-be assassin, and he isn’t thrilled with what he’s found…

“This guy has an extensive rap sheet, and there’s some curious aspects to this,” Peterson comments…

“Most curious, with all of these charges, 74 arrests, how much time did he spend incarcerated? None. Zero,” he adds.

A Troubling Mystery

The story of Ryan Routh goes beyond just an assassination plot. As Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker uncovered, there are far too many unanswered questions. Was this a random attack, or was something more calculated at play?

According to Baker, Trump could have chosen between three different golf courses that morning. “Was he there by luck of the draw?” Baker asked during an interview with Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on Blaze News Tonight.

Adding to the mystery was a GoPro camera that was suspiciously mounted on the fence outside Trump’s golf club. Baker questioned whether the camera was broadcasting to someone nearby, raising serious concerns about a larger plot at play.

Despite these oddities, answers remain elusive. “They could answer all of these questions right now,” Baker said. But so far, they haven’t.

A Violent Past Swept Under the Rug

Perhaps the most disturbing part of this story is Routh’s extensive criminal history, which raises more red flags than a busy airport. As Peterson pointed out, Routh’s rap sheet is long and alarming.

“This guy has an extensive rap sheet, and there’s some curious aspects to this,” he commented. And by “curious,” Peterson means downright suspicious. Routh has been arrested over 70 times, with charges that include possession of a weapon of mass destruction and a violent standoff with police.

Baker detailed a particularly shocking incident in which Routh held off the Greensboro, North Carolina police and the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department for three hours—with a machine gun, no less. And yet, despite the gravity of his crimes, Routh was never properly held accountable. “How much time did he spend incarcerated? None. Zero,” Baker revealed.

That’s right. Despite over 100 charges and 74 arrests, Routh has barely seen the inside of a jail cell. How does someone with such a dangerous history remain free to roam the streets? Baker and Peterson are right to be concerned, and they aren’t the only ones.

Media Silence and Double Standards

While the media continues to downplay or outright ignore the threats against Trump, it’s clear that the justice system and law enforcement have failed to keep dangerous individuals like Routh in check.

If this were happening to a Democrat, the outrage would be deafening. But when it comes to Trump, the rules seem to change. It’s a double standard that’s becoming harder and harder to ignore.

This attempt on Trump’s life isn’t just a personal attack on him; it’s an attack on the very fabric of democracy. Trump is running for president again, and attempts to silence him—whether through violence or other means—should be taken seriously. The lack of swift and decisive action is as troubling as the attempt itself.

A Wake-Up Call for the Nation

For Trump supporters, this incident is yet another reminder of the hostility their candidate faces. Despite enduring two assassination attempts in the span of just a few months, Trump remains unshaken, continuing his campaign with the resilience that his base has come to admire.

But the question remains: how many more attempts will there be before something tragic happens? And how long will the media continue to turn a blind eye?

As Steve Baker’s investigation unfolds, one thing is clear: there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Whether it’s the odd circumstances surrounding Trump’s golf outing, the mysterious GoPro camera, or Routh’s inexplicably lenient treatment by the justice system, the American people deserve answers.

Unfortunately, those answers aren’t coming anytime soon.

For now, the best we can hope for is vigilance. Trump, for all his polarizing rhetoric and unconventional style, is still a former president and a current presidential candidate. Any attack on him is an attack on the democratic process, and it’s time the nation—and the media—treated it that way.

As Trump moves forward, so does the campaign. But with threats continuing to mount, one thing is certain: this election cycle is more dangerous and unpredictable than ever. Let’s hope the next time Donald Trump steps onto a golf course, it’s just to play 18 holes.

Key Takeaways:

  • Second assassination attempt on Donald Trump outside his Florida golf club was thwarted.
  • Investigative journalist Steve Baker reveals suspicious details about the attacker’s extensive criminal past.
  • Media silence and lenient treatment of the would-be assassin raise serious concerns about double standards.
