I guess the NYTimes interviewed home back in 2023?

Did he volunteer to fight in Ukraine war?

In 2023, Routh told the New York Times he spent several months in Ukraine amid the war with Russia. He also said he had tried recruiting Afghan soldiers who opposed the Taliban to fight in Ukraine.

A fucking spook cut-out trafficking mercenaries from Afghanistan to Ukraine goes rogue and takes a pot shot at a presidential candidate?

This is going to give conspiracy nuts a hard on for the next five years, easy. What are the odds Jack Ruby plugs him a few times in the gut on national camera before the end of next week?

Or just another one of the oddballs, liars and sociopaths who are the focus of the article.

He seems more like an independent nutter who suffers from mania than any kind of an actual spook.

Sure, but you could say that about anyone who goes on a kamakazi mission.

How are these shooters getting so close to a former president? Did Trump pick his Secret Service detail personally and end up with the protection detail equivalent of the Bad News Bears?

When you’re as big an asshole as Trump, it’s not really motivating for anyone around you to do more than half-ass it.

secret service really can’t just shut everything down when he shows up for a golf or something. Especially for his routine and daily life. It sounds like the guy was standing around a public right of way along the perimeter of the golf course.

my understanding is the agents sweep the next hole ahead of trump getting there, and that’s when he was noticed. (I assume control both that, the hole trump is on, and the previous, to keep anyone from coming up behind,)

the thing I don’t understand is how somebody would be just chilling with a rifle out in plain sight like that. Even the PA guy knew to keep the rifle tucked away before it was time, right?

Florida (desantis) recently enacted concealed carry, so I’ll be curious to see what law this nut actually broke.

Apparently the guy made a sniper nest hidden in the bushed and the agent noticed the rifle barrel sticking out of the branches

First a former president rarely is so public. I don’t know where any other president’s houses are…other than bidens since I love in Delaware.

Second, Trump has made enemies his whole life.

Last, he won’t shut up. Which makes more enemies

GWB retired to his ranch in Texas. I THINK Obama opted to stay in DC until his daughter finished school. No idea if that has finished. I think Clinton is in NY?

Yeah but we know exactly where marlago is and the Trump building is NYC.

I have seen so many photos of those locations

Where as the other people I just know the state vs the exact building

Trump is only entitled to ex-President and candidate protection. It’s a lower tier of protection with fewer resources expended.

Exactly. He gets the team of “six months to retirement” agents, not the roid-raging chads.

The first one was clearly a miscommunication leaving a gap. Someone needed to be fired over that.

Unless there is more since the press conference, this one seems to have been well handled. There is no way to secure an entire golf course, unless Trump was willing to goto Camp David so they covered around him and ahead of him. Last I heard, the guy never had an opportunity to shoot. An agent clearing ahead of Trump spotted the shooter and laid down suppressing fire making the guy run
