In an unexpected turn of events, former President Donald Trump's impromptu golf game at his Trump International Golf Club on Sunday has sparked a flurry of questions and conjecture.
This sudden appearance coincided with a security incident at the club, leading to heightened concerns about the former President's safety.
According to Gateway Pundit, the golf outing was not part of Trump's public itinerary, which has raised eyebrows about the timing of an incident that occurred during his presence at the club. "Former President Donald Trumps golf game on Sunday was a last-minute addition to his schedule," reported two sources privy to the matter. The sources also confirmed that Trump had no public events scheduled for that day.
The individual at the center of the security incident was identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, who was suspected of attempting to assassinate the former President. A Secret Service agent spotted the barrel of an AK-style rifle sticking out from the bushes near Trump's golfing area. The agent responded by firing at Routh, who managed to escape the scene in a black Nissan SUV, leaving behind his rifle, backpacks, a scope, and a GoPro camera. A witness was able to capture a photo of Routh's fleeing vehicle and provided the police with the vehicle's license plate number.
While the authorities have yet to reveal Routh's specific motives, a complex picture of the suspect is gradually surfacing. Routh's past reveals a history of supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, coupled with a long record of criminal and civil court issues. His legal history is marked by over 100 criminal charges filed against him in North Carolina, primarily in Guilford County. These charges include convictions for possessing a machine gun, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of stolen property, hit-and-run offenses, and possessing a weapon of mass destruction.
