The man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump‘s Florida golf club had a history of donating to Democrats and posted about the former president losing the election.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, is in custody after he allegedly pointed an AK-47 at the former president while he was playing at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach on Sunday.
He is a registered Democrat and donated 19 times between September 2019 and March 2020 to the Democratic political action committee ActBlue, Federal Election Commission filings revealed.
The donations totaled more than $140 and were earmarked for individual 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates including Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Routh’s social media was filed with anti-Trump rhetoric and previously said that ‘Democracy is on the ballot,’ reported The New York Post.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, is in custody after he allegedly pointed an AK-47 at the former president while he was golfing.
Routh is a registered Democrat and was arrested in 2002 for having ‘weapons of mass destruction’
The would-be shooter was convicted more than two decades ago with possessing a weapon of mass destruction, according to a more than two-decades old News & Record report.
Routh was 36 at the time and was arrested after a three-hour standoff with police when he barricaded himself inside a local roofing business in Greensboro, North Carolina after speeding away from a traffic stop while wielding a firearm.
He also admitted on social media in June 2020 that he did vote for Trump in 2016, but was hoping as president he would be ‘different and better’ than how he was as a candidate.
‘We all were greatly disappointed and it seems you are getting worse and devovling; are you retarded,’ Routh wrote at the time. ‘I will be glad when you gone (sic).’
The incident comes as Trump’s security detail has been ramped up in the two months after the former president was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.

Following that assassination attempt Routh tweeted at Biden that he should visit the victims and attend the funeral of the 50-year-old firefighters who was killed, according to the Post.
‘You should visit the victims in the hospital of the trump rally victims and attend the funeral of the fireman that died; Trump certainly never would. SHOW THE WORLD WHAT REAL LEADERS DO,’ he posted on July 16.
His social media also showed he strongly supports Ukraine in its war against Russia and Taiwan in its struggle against China.
In one reply to a post from X owner Elon Musk, Routh said he was interested in buying a rocket from him.
‘I would like to buy a rocket from you. I wish to load it with a warhead for Putin’s Black Sea mansion bunker to end him. Can you give me a price please. It can be old and used as not returning,’ Routh wrote.
Perhaps this article will help explain the real situation for you Scradge. Plus, he sounds a lot like you, lol…
So who said this? :
“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.”
“So, Putin is now saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine. I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper.”
“Here’s a guy who’s very savvy. … I know him very well. Very, very well.”
“Here’s a guy that says, you know, ‘I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent’ – he used the word ‘independent’ – ‘and we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that’s pretty savvy.”
“I knew Putin very well. I got along with him great. He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he’s a tough cookie, got a lot of the great charm and a lot of pride.”
“I think he sees this opportunity. I knew that he always wanted Ukraine.”
“I think nobody probably knows him better in terms of the discussions that we have or that we’re having this morning. So, I knew him very well.”

“Putin’s gonna take all Ukraine.”
On live TV in 2023.
All that putrid drivel came from the foam-flecked mouth of the person you believe wants to help Ukraine.
It takes a few shots of whiskey to read the orange felon’s childish drivel without a cringe.
Sometimes he is unintentionally funny, and an embarrassment.
“At a Friday rally in Las Vegas, Trump thanked reggaeton star Nicky Jam for his endorsement, but apparently thought he was a she—saying: “Do you know Nicky? She’s hot. Where’s Nicky?”—before correcting himself after Jam climbed to the stage, saying, “Oh, look, I’m glad he came up.”
And many people want this deadbeat in the White House to lead them.
“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Trump has posted in an all caps rant on his Truth Social platform.”
Madder than a shithouse rat. A 78 year old guy running for president posts that about a pop star? You couldn’t make it up.
Also : Trump took as his guest to a solumn 9/11 memorial his new best friend : Laura Loomer; an insane 9/11 “truther” and conspiracy theorist. She makes even brainworm look sane. Even Moscow Marge was not happy.
Why does Trumpkov hate Swift and love Loomer?
Easy: Loomer’s a putlerist skank who wants Ukraine to die.
The orange felon loves anyone with no morals. They remind him of himself.
I heard Moscow Marge got real mad when someone asked Lori Loomer what trumpkov tastes like and she said Depends.
Even IF in jest, that is a pretty messed up comment Sir RSM.
Some facts :
Routh is a liar, fantasist, convicted criminal and conspiracy theorist.
Russia was directly involved in the assassination of JFK.
Trump transition team member and Russophile conspiracy theorist RFK Jr claims it was the CIA.
Routh voted for Trump in 2016.
Routh is so away with the fairies that he called for a political pairing of genuine Republican conservative Nikki Haley and Russophile/Ukraine-hater Vivek Ramaswamy.
The Ukrainians said Routh was “full of shit” and rejected him for the Legion. Genuine Ukraine Legionnaire Malcolm Nance said :
“This guy used to hang around St. Michael’s Square in front of the Intercontinental, where all the reporters stayed in Kyiv. So, a lot of reporters interviewed him. He made himself distinctive by wearing a bandanna with an American flag on it. He put up a sign saying ‘Join the International Legion.’ But he had nothing to do with the legion.”
The fact that this sick freak was able to get hold of an assault weapon with such ease is itself insane.
The fact that his allegiances keep changing and that he appears also to have donated to Dem causes is a huge gift for putler. The disinformation campaign will intensify as the kremkrappers realise that their man is back in the frame.
Updates: Routh’s politics have not consistently aligned with one party or the other. Registered unaffiliated in 2012, voted Trump in 2016. $140 over 7 months from Sept. 2019 to Mar. 2020 for actblue works out to about $20 a month. This from someone whom supposedly generated 12,000 in income. From lack of assets now he is being appointed a public defender.
In primaries you have to register to that party to vote in the primary which Ryan registered Democrat in March of 2024.
I haven’t found information yet as to any donations to Republicans.
Though a long time Greensboro resident he had moved to Hawaii in 2018.
Rifle used was not an AK-47, but an SKS with an AK-47 magazine.
More updates as more is known and verified.
Contrary To Online Claims, Trump Suspect Is Registered Independent Voter

Routh said in one 2020 post that Trump was his “choice” in 2016 but had been disappointed in him as president.
“His social media also showed he strongly supports Ukraine in its war against Russia”
Bottom line – anyone who strongly supports Ukraine would be opposed to trumpkov, who is well known to hate Ukraine and love putler. That’s regardless of what party they belong to – it’s only those deeply indoctrinated into the MAGAt cult who refuse to see this.
