We were warned that it was just a matter of time before there would be another attempt on Donald Trump’s life, and now it has happened. Thankfully, this new attempt to take Trump out failed, and so for now we have avoided a nightmare scenario. But from this point forward, Trump and other prominent politicians are going to need to take extreme precautions regarding their safety. We are less than two months away from the election, and emotions are running extremely high. Needless to say, this is especially true when it comes to Trump. No presidential candidate has ever been more hated by the left than Donald Trump, and he just “narrowly survived yet another assassination attempt”…

Former President 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 Friday.
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 had taken cover near a chain-link fence between 300-500 yards away from Trump, but conceded, “with a rifle and scope like that is not a long distance.”
How did this sniper know that Trump would be golfing?
Trump’s golf outings are not put on any public schedule.
Somehow he knew that Trump would be there.
It is being reported that there were gunshots in the “vicinity” of Trump, and once the sniper realized that his plot had been foiled he fled the scene and took off in a black Nissan…
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said in a briefing that Trump was about 300-500 yards away from the man with the gun.
Bradshaw they received a call from U.S. Secret Service at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday that shots had been fired. Units immediately moved to seal off the area, and a witness told authorities that they had seen a man jumping out of the bushes and fleeing in a black Nissan. They took a photo of the license plate number, and the car was spotted traveling north on I-95 toward Martin County, where the driver was pulled over and detained. The witness then identified the individual as the man they had seen in the bushes.
Law enforcement found an AK47-style rifle with a scope, two backpacks with ceramic tile and a Go Pro camera in the bushes at the scene. They displayed photos of the weapon and the backpack at the briefing.
Apparently the sniper had set up the Go Pro camera because he intended to film himself shooting Trump.
Authorities were able to capture the sniper, and they have identified him as Ryan Wesley Routh…
The man who authorities say pointed a rifle with a scope into former President Donald Trump’s golf club and was arrested is Ryan Wesley Routh, three law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
The officials identified the suspect to the AP but spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
At this hour, we don’t know much about Ryan Wesley Routh other than that he is from Hawaii and that he “championed left-wing causes on social media”.
But I find it quite interesting that this is yet another presidential assassin with three names.
He also seemed to know quite a bit about the golf course somehow.
He picked a spot that would give him a very easy escape route, and we are being told that the area around the 5th and 6th hole is quite “vulnerable”…
