Expect to see lots, lots more of this going forward.
Trump ‘safe and well’ after being targeted by would-be assassin with scoped AK-47 just a few hundred yards away while ex-prez played golf
Former President Donald Trump narrowly survived yet another assassination attempt after a sniper with a scoped AK-47 rifle got within a few hundred yards of him as he played golf at his West Palm Beach, Florida club on Sunday.It is the second time a madman armed with an assault rifle has tried to kill the 45th president in two months.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the suspect took cover near a chain-link fence between 300 and 500 yards from Trump around 2 p.m. — noting that “with a rifle and scope, like, that is not a long distance.”
Law-enforcement sources told The Post that the suspect is Ryan Routh, a 58-year-old Hawaii resident who has championed progressive causes online and was a reliable donor to Democratic causes and candidates.
On Sunday, the accused wannabe assassin set up a GoPro camera on the fence with the apparent intent of recording the shooting — part of a full-fledged sniper’s nest he orchestrated in the hedges at the edge of the Trump International Golf Course, where he was lying in wait for Trump to come into view.
A Secret Service agent spotted the suspect as he stuck the barrel of his rifle through the chain fence on the outskirts of Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach South.
The agent, who was a golf hole ahead of Trump, opened fire on the suspect — who then fled the scene, Bradshaw told reporters Sunday night.
Authorities have yet to determine if the shooter got off any shots at the Secret Service agents or at Trump.
“Madman,” you say? Yep, if this photo is any indication the description would appear to be most apt.

An AR, an AK—still curious as to how these Froot-Loop loonies are able to get anywhere within a country mile of Trump toting battle rifles like this. Twice in two months now? SRSLY?!?
“…still curious as to how these Froot-Loop loonies are able to get anywhere within a country mile of Trump toting battle rifles like this.”
Real headscratcher ain’t it?
Ain’t it, though? And the scuzzbuckets wonder why we don’t trust them or believe a word they say anymore. Go figure.
It’s becoming clear, as expected, that this nutcase is another fed directed looney tunes operator.
