Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably heard about the recent incident involving another attempted assassination against President Trump. I’ve done quite a bit of research on the profile of charged suspect Ryan Routh, and I have some questions about the overall situation.
- Was Ryan Routh directed or encouraged to carry out an attack by any domestic or foreign governments?
Routh had countless contacts overseas in Eastern Europe and Asia. He was in constant contact with militants and aspiring warfighters in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and elsewhere. He spent quite a bit of time in Ukraine in 2022.
On the domestic front, it’s no secret that our politicized law enforcement and intelligence agencies have involved high-profile public figures in past ploys. We must also not forget that elements of U.S. intelligence services dedicated the entirety of the Trump presidency to attempting to destroy the man. Sadly, we can’t rule out the troublesome possibility that Routh (and perhaps Crooks before him) is the upgrade from information operation to kinetic operation.
