He’s got more heat than a Chicago rapper at this point 😅
Making the rounds I see.
Democrats won't give up so easy
Just like any real nigga, Trump has multiple opps. Racks on his head fam.
@@pedrobetancourt😂 I’m thinking the normal republicans want him gone so they can get back to business as usual.
@mauricewalker2350 You are thinking wrong Democrats and liberals are the ones who are violent and emotional like children with little self control.
Witness is awesome !!!
Pics of vehicle and tag !!!
Awesome
That is one hell of a witness. Make you wonder....
@@rabbitfire37wonder what please explain
Deserves a Congressional Medal 🏅 given by BIDEN TOMORROW on national TV.
@@prestonarmer277 how the shooter was able to determine that trump would be one that hole at that time. Apparently the golf outing wasn't planned.
The big question is: who dropped a dime on trump, to let them know where he was going to be ?
Trump's schedule is public knowledge you might have noticed he's campaigning for the presidency.
Keeping his schedule secret would be ......um.....stupid.
😂 his campaign announces where he's going to be and there's a motorcade.
@@imawake805 This was not a campaign, it was his private schedule of golf.

Don’t care what side you’re on, people blaming trump for his own assassination attempts in the comments is wild
You are right man!! Not until Trump is assassinated thats when you will see how serious this is, all you anttrump it won't do you good, its time America stood together and have a safe, Free and open election, Am a Tanzanian who love your beautiful country so much, this has nothing to do with democrats or republican, when news like this pops out it is reducing you CV of America being the greatest Democracy, shame on you all supporting this biberic acts😢 shame!!!
That witness is an Angel!! So thankful he spoke up!! Whew.
The "witness".
How did the shooter know Pres Trump was going to be there at that day and time?
His own golf course? Isn't that where he spends most of his time?
Paid hit
Because he wasn't at KFC or McDonald's
Maybe he saw a mile long motorcade next to Trumps house???
Democrats are desperate to win!!
So the almost shooter knew that Mr. Trump will golf that time. Amazing.
@@zoltan-atillaungor365 Trump is ALWAYS golfing, not a stretch to figure out where he is going to be.
Inside job attempt?
anybody could be doing anything, you cannot possibly blame Trump for moving on with his life, ridiculous. americans have gone grazy
Honestly a real sniper could have been lying there for days. Now, obviously this guy wasn't a real sniper, cause he was spotted, but still!
He's not even safe in a MAGA neighborhood.
Nobody is safe in a maga neighborhood to be fair.
Neither was Jussie Smollett. 😉
@@holzapfelsteinwas that a joke or are you being serious?
For Trump you need Holy Water… Rosary Beads… Floating Beds…
@@holzapfelstein😂
I think Trump needs to hire his own security
Yeah Dan Bongino, Michael Jaco, Nino Rodriguez, Jake Paul, Hulk Hogan etc
I could see him hiring undocumented immigrants at wicked low wages and even then not pay them to be his private security lol

Like Trump or don't. But this violence towards Trump gets Us nowhere. I'm wondering what other Nations are thinking of the USA. Pathetic! I do not endorse or Support Trump, but I certainly do not hate Him either. I am glad that He is okay and hopefully this gets sorted out and Justice is served.
Only Trump love America
The shooter's name is Ryan Routh and he's apparently Big Time. Maga. Fox News is talking about him right now
Agreed. The violence is unacceptable. Trump should stop pissing people off. Or, perhaps if he saw the real consequences of his actions in the legal system, nutjobs would stop feeling like they need to be a supervillain.
This nation was lead thisvdirection by the media, colleges, political leaders, and it is unacceptable

While I also don't like Donald and what he stands for I still don't think that any of these agencies, including the police force, are doing a great job.
Mediocre at best.
Better late than never. Keep your eyes and ears open and trust no government agency at this point.
The FBI and CIA are probably the ones behind these attempts.

Screw the secret service
Why can’t people just follow the process of electing a President of the US without violence. Calm down wait until the election is over, the elected President lays down the law and we all could live in peace. Let the elected President do his/her job and let’s go on. ♥️🇺🇸♥️
True. I can only imagine what will happen after being flushed twice this November.
@Pn0101 Democrats know it's gonna be harder to cheat this time, so they are taking it into their own hands. This isn't Democracy.
This is not the result of people acting on free will or clear conscience. They have been radicalized buy the alphabet agencies. Ask your self if you ever heard of the CIA. implanting a fake government in a shit whole country to make a favorable operational area for the UNITED STATES INTEREST. Now Ask yourself if they do that overseas why not install, support and finance a president, government and news media.
The shooter's name is Ryan Routh and Fox News just showed that he is a big Trump supporter or at least he was lol.
We already did that, and the legal system continues to give trump a pass. This is what happens next.
This is bad to hear but I am very proud of the secret service on picking up on something so subtle unlike in Pennsylvania where they didnt pick up on a whole man on a roof. Wonderful work.
That FBI guy looks super uncomfortable
Yes ...the body language ?
Because Demons hate wearing their flesh suit!
Another expendable super soldier activated, nek minute he will be dead so he cant speak or have a trial
Why would the deep state use a super soldier in this manner ... when they could get it done a lot easier with one in a fast food restaurant he frequents .
tf are you smoking
Yet he was caught alive. Weird
We are living in a marvel comic!
For his safety Trump can play golf video game at home.
Attempt on his life after Biden debate. Now another one after Harris debate anyone seeing a pattern here.
They know hes going to win
No.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody out of the cult likes him. Heck even some in the cult like the 1st assassination attempt dont like him
“Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged shooter in today's incident against Trump, is a 60 year old white man with a history of mental illness. He appears to have voted for Trump in 2016 and his Facebook page has COVID conspiracies on it. He is not an immigrant nor is he Haitian.”

What do you mean "the other way around"? If Trump was trying to shoot that guy?
@@aspenrebel “Stupid “ you know what I mean
@@rodneymills5581 we literally don't know what you mean
If Trump tried to assasinate Biden? Hey! Where was Robert Kennedy?
You sound silly.
He’s not the sitting president so he doesn’t get as much security?!!!!!! He’s already had 1 attempted assassination!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh😖😖😖
That's pretty much how it's been ever since there was a Secret Service. Doesn't matter who it is, former President's don't get the same level of protection. Not really newsworthy.
It's not the lack of security as much as the fact that he is a major league a******. When you go around and make a practice of pissing off half the country including your own base against you, this is what happens. The shooter is named Ryan Routh and he is an absolute maga type. Fox News has been talking about him.
Or publicity about this attempt. I live a bit of a sheltered.life, but this is the first time I'm hearing about this, anyone else?
I'm afraid to work the polls this year
It We The People.under attack
And who knew he was going golfing then????
🪽Our.leader is protected by the One who chose him🪽
Yep this guy is an asshat
He has secret service security for life as a former president so he has plenty of security.
Why such conflicting news stories about this? Unbelievable
he faked it before
They WANT you to believe the shooting 100 yards from Trump was gang related and a total coincidence and they HOPE you fall for it. I don’t believe ANY mainstream news anymore they’ve lost ALL credibility.
These are paid stooges that’s why
This story doesn't add up
@@CM-ld3dqyou have a VERY smooth brain
WOULD SOME RETIRED NAVY SEALS PLEASE PROTECT TRUMP!!!
no one cares
Now, this was a way better approach than usually. People just want to know what's going on.
Must have been the dumbest assassin EVER. 🙂
Of course he’s a democrat!
@@Bullock10 what I'm curious about is whether the would-be assassin was paid to make it look like an assassination attempt of Trump for the sake of the media.
The guy is a trump supporter or at least he was. Fox. News is talking about him right now and his name is.ryan routh
@@mainely8007 Yeah that makes a lot of sense, a supporter wants to assassinate the person they support.
@@Bullock10- and your point is?
Can we have a long argument about what kind of gun it was and definitely not do anything else
So that's how you get that bad debate performance out of the press.
Right you really think that
It’s time to get rid of guns
Hilter said the same thing back in 1939;.
@@jilliegirlie he’s great
the scary part is that The Secret Service has failed at maintaining the cloak of uncertainty on assassination attempts. The secret is out that there are huge lapses of security and there’s no magic sprinkles that protect a target in a public space.
Conspiracy guys are having a ball with this one.
But it may be just like it looks.
Trump often golfs.
It ain’t that scientific.
The FBI and secret service is like wow it doesn't involve us this time. So we're gonna give you everything, I repeat, everything...This is the distraction they so desperately needed.
Trump needs to get rid of the FBI and security services who are protecting him and get his own security people who will protect him
I've done security work before and it is an illusion that security companies sell that they can give you absolute protection. If you want to go outside in wide open areas where people can get a shot at you, that's on you. If you want to run around and be the biggest toxic a****** and attack people and make as many people mad at you as you can, that's also on you. Also, the guy that they just caught who did it is named Ryan Routh. He's a maga type. Fox News is talking all about it
I could see him hiring undocumented immigrants to be his private security at wicked low wages and even then refuse to pay them lol
Totally agree
Trump definitely entering the Find Out stage of his life.

LEAVE TRUMP ALONE HATERS
If not for the witness, the assassin could still be at large, think about that, someone shot a us president and almost got away if not for a random guy who took a picture of the license plate

In previous cases, the person under suspicion was quickly silenced. As of now, Mr. Routh lives, and needs to be aggressively
examined as to his reasons for being there. Remember Marinus van der Lubbe, 1933 or 34.
