Just two months after the failed Trump assassination attempt of one Thomas Matthew Crooks, we witnessed on Sunday yet another foiled one by Ryan Wesley Routh—a would-be assassin and anti-Trump/radical pro-Ukraine War social media addict. Somehow he too once again got within relatively easy shooting range of ex-President Trump.
Is there a continued pattern here of lax Trump Secret Service protection, coupled with a general social media and televised climate that equates Trump with Hitler and lowers the bar of the assassination?
That is, are we sending unambiguous messages to would-be assassins that a) lots of Trump-hating people would welcome an assassination attempt and canonize the wannabe assailant; b) it would not be that difficult to pull an assassination off given security laxity and incompetence; and thus c) we will likely witness a series of such unhinged attempts?
On August 14, almost exactly two months ago, I predicted the following:
If Donald Trump all summer has been compared by his enemies to Hitler and his murderous Third Reich, and if a 20-year-old would-be assassin and murderer with ease took up a sniper’s position to kill Trump—without a notified Secret Service or other law enforcement attempting to abort the shooter’s attempted assassination—what signal does that send to other would-be assassins for the next 80 days of the 2024 campaign?
Is the message that if a 20-year-old amateur sniper can brazenly and visibly for nearly an hour breach all Secret Service security perimeters to shoot eight times at the president, hit him in the ear, kill one innocent bystander, and wound two others, then almost any future, more-experienced serious shooter could match or exceed the ability of that disturbed amateur to get close enough to Trump to fire more than eight shots at his head?
And that shooting Donald Trump in many leftist quarters would subsequently earn the unhinged killer eternal fame, applause, and immortality?
And that if there are such anticipated rewards and perceived opportunities, then we may well see more attempts on candidate Trump’s life?
————————-
And here is just today’s example of the usual leftwing daily vitriol equating Trump with some sort of existential enemy that must be somehow stopped—expressed on both television and social media:
After the would-be assassination attempt, the Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries posted this: “Extreme MAGA Republicans are the party of a national abortion ban and Trump’s Project 2025. We must stop them.”
Jeffries is spreading untruths: Trump has never supported a national abortion ban and has consistently distanced himself from the Heritage Project 2025. And after such deliberately lying what exactly does the House Minority Leader mean by “We must stop them”?
And after today’s failed assassination attempt, Rachel Vindman, wife of Alexander Vindman of Trump first impeachment notoriety, and sister-in-law to current Congressional candidate Eugene Vindman, posted “No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.”
What does Ms. Vindman mean? Another weekend, just another attempt to kill Trump, so no big deal?
And also, just today on MSNBC Democratic activist Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis ranted (to the silence of the network’s host Jonathan Capehart), “Let’s not pretend that Donald Trump isn’t exactly like Mussolini, exactly like Hitler…You nice Christians, kind, loving Jewish people – we’re not these people. We’re not these people. And we’re not going to get what we want if we elect this fascist, authoritarian weasel.”
So, what does the Reverend suggest to Americans that they do with such a Hitlerian weasel?
And we should remind Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, for yet the nth time, that Donald Trump did not call for a “bloodbath” (he was talking about the economic consequences to the U.S. automobile industry of mandating EVs, and outsourcing automobile plants and jobs to Mexico).
Nor did he claim that white supremacists were good people at Charlottesville—but, as the liberal Snopes fact checked, just the opposite: “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”
These serial assassination attempts, unfortunately, occur in a weary context of Russian collusion, laptop disinformation, state ballot removal, and lawfare. And they are starting to reflect a larger environment of justifying extra-legal means to achieve the ends of ending Trump’s presidency and later reelection by any means necessary.
So, it is all that hard over the next fifty days for President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas to extend adequate Secret Service security for ex-president and Republican presidential nominee Trump—which some congressional Democrats, led by January 6th Committee co-chairman Benny Thompson, had sought to stop entirely in April of this year?
And can we just stop with the demonizing of Trump as a Hitler/fascist/bloodbath/weasel/dictator that must be stopped—before we see third, fourth, and fifth such assassination attempts?
that americans overall are oblivious to what is going on and that the democrats are the real threat to america is astounding . are there that many voters with their heads in the sand ? i guess with 96% of the media owned by the left all telling the same lies incessantly it is understandable that americans are ignorant of where they are headed . perhaps when a family of 4 are murdered , burnt and mutilated by an illegal south american criminal which occurred in canada are repeated in the states people may wake up , but then probably not .
If we knew the real truth about many of the things that have been going on in Washington DC, within the deep state and the military industrial complex, we would be too frightened to leave our homes or use the internet and/.or our phones.
They seem desperate to keep Trump out of the white house and so much so that they are now boldly and openly calling for his assassination.
America use to be a Constitutional Republic. That cannot be said of today’s America. In today’s America, the Constitution has become virtually irrelevant as we move closer to becoming a totalitarian state under one party rule.
Moreover, the democrat and republican parties have been mostly subsumed by the uniparty: a subset of the ruling globalist cabal. That’s another reason why they’re desperate to keep Trump from winning.
Deals have been made, money has changed hands and America has been sold out. They can’t afford to have Trump come along and screw all that up for them.
Trump also said that he would release the Epstein files. That has to spook a lot of very powerful people including a former US president.
Remember the Democrat Party is the party of Slavery secession segregation and socialism ! They are trying to develop a new slave class of illegals
It is not the sand that their heads are in.
Anyone who calls this Assassin a Hero should get a a swift kick to the Moon
I prefer a hard kick out to the Oort Cloud but the moon will do!!
Medical experimentation might be better.
What do you have against the Moon?
SKA:
The moon is not far away enough.
The real problem extends much farther. Even if the ballot boxes cannot be stuffed enough for Harris, Trump can still be stopped in DC at the count. The electors are all vulnerable insignificants as we have seen. The threat of law fare and personal bankruptcy could change quite a few votes. Or perhaps the same procedure of a law fare threat could sway enough votes in the House certification process.
There is no end to the fear of Trump or we “the help” in the feed troughs of DC nerds and international grifters. If Trumps wins the popular vote, the trouble will accelerate to areas unknown since Andrew Jackson and JQ Adams. “A corrupt bargain.” Today however, the citizen is armed AND informed.
“Will the Left stop sending unambiguous messages to would-be assassins?”
In a word…..No.
Ultimately the Left is basically “Murder Inc.” “Riot Inc.”. “Subversives R Us Inc.” and “Revolutions R Us Inc.”
The one thing they are not is Running a Successful Country Inc. which is why they and their idiotic policies always fail.
They are scared to death of Trump, economic success and ideological success. If Trump wins I think many will flee the country because, this time, Trump will prosecute the ringleaders. Or do the wet work necessary to make sure they never rise again.
“I think many will flee the country because, this time, ……”
Then we have to work doubly hard to get Trump elected! And those who flee should be forced to sign a form renouncing their American citizenship and another form agreeing to never set foot on American soil again and warned that violating their signed agreement automatically incurs a long prison sentence and/or the death penalty.
Yes, absolutely!
The Left has declared that nothing will stop, Leftists are in full panic mode. Mass hysteria is nationwide. The coordinated scorched earth campaign will intensify with every passing day toward election. Any action that is imaginable can and will be taken against President Trump.
Realistically speaking, the only mass hysteria I see is among the rabid left and Trump hating RINOs. In a fair world, they would all be plied with their favorite diabetes beverage (e.g. soda, beer, alcohol, etc.) laced with something that will render them all docile “vegetables.”
Thank you, VDH.
Yesterday a radio talk show host called it the “normalization of assassination.” It’s yet another example of the rot that is eating away at the country. Mr. Hanson, it’s unlikely the demonization of Trump will stop. The Democrats have made it clear that they are not going to give up power without a fight where nothing is out of bounds.
Then that radio talk show host should be the first test subject to demonstrate the utility of their suggestion.
The Democrat Communists are no longer even pretending to be civilized. NOTHING IS ABOVE THEM. Even murder. Because of them, the America you were born into…no longer exists.
When the time comes that people can justify the assassination of a presidential candidate based on vitriolic hyperbole of a soulless media, perhaps a new vision for America should be appropriated. Americans are observing irresponsible mouthpieces that are exposing everyone to the threats that THEY pose TO the Republic.
The left exposes their adolescent machinations in areas that they don’t have the capacity to understand. The left has not expressed their ability to think logically because they prefer to emote. Emotions don’t have a conscience. So, they reason that if we can get our incompetent Marxist in office and ruin the man with principles, Utopia will be ensue.
The pot is going to boil over and spill into a serious and very ugly conflict that will destroy many lives. The Marxist ideology is destructive because party over country is their core principle. It won’t work in America. We are on a dangerous path.
Playing on people’s emotions politically used to be called demagoguery, and history tells us it never ends well. Further, Marxism has been a total economic and political failure anywhere its been tried. Yet Commie-la is still marketed by these media outlets, even though she has yet to commit herself to anything. Another good reason to kill your TV and read…
And maybe, in effect, Trump is conducting an unprecedented form of advanced government oversight for all of the voters to see.
The signs are very clear. It’s as if we were mechanically moving towards a disastrous end. You can almost tell what is coming, and what will be said next. The left is emboldened to a point that has never been seen before in this country.
Have you noticed that neither Harris nor Walz even attempt to deny it every time they are called Marxists? it’s as if they were proud of the label.
This is not going to end well.
It could end well. We could beat them. I don’t like to hear this talk over and over. I think it doesn’t help at all.
” All roads lead to Rome’.’ — Ancient Idiom–
Mr. Trumps choice to play a round of golf on Sunday was an unscheduled impromptu decision, which no one else knew about except perhaps his SS security detail, inner circle of associates and the individual party(s) at his golf course who booked his “T” time…or Vindman’s NSA buddies who were probably monitoring Trump’s communications?
So, the salient question becomes, on such short notice: How did Ryan Westly Roth, a rabid Democrat Kamela Harris supporter, Ukrainian Army AOZ Division mercenary recruiter and Trump hater know exactly the day and time to set up his assassination ambush position off the No. 5 Fairway, where he would have a clear unobstructed shot at Mr. Trump and his party with an unregistered, scoped SKS rifle as they were exiting the No. 4 green. Unless someone in the above-mentioned organizations or party(s) provided Roth with that intel through a second or third party… and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find out who it was!
The Deep State, Dems and their media pawns are out to kill Trump.
The majority of Dem voters accept this and are, by association, partners in multiple coup and assassination attempts that are NOT isolated incidences, but all perfectly choreographed efforts to take down Trump, and with him America.
IT IS A WAR S|TUPID!!
And, the day after the latest assassination attempt Hillary Clinton went on Rachel Maddow’s program and said that Trump is not only a threat to the U.S. but to the world. But, we are told by our “news media” and Dem politicians that this sort of inflammatory rhetoric has nothing to do with the now repeated attempts on Trump’s life.
Why do they always have three names
If every one in America had two names then we would end assassination attempts.
There, you can now abolish the cia…
lol
The rumors circulating are that those in the Deep State have been leaking info about Trump, and we already know that they do not want Trump in office. This would-be assassin was from out of state. Yet, he somehow knew Trump’s schedule and found a gun in Florida conveniently to carry out the act. This is a continuation of a coup, which is getting serious. Routh’ connection to Ukraine is troubling for its shows he was pro-war and reportedly said that: “We need thousands of people here to fight alongside Ukrainians.”
That was from M A^
It’s passed time to fight fire with fire.
Beat the communist-islamist crap 100 times harder in their own game. Their terrorism will stop guaranteed.
