Staff Reports
The recent attempt on former President Trump’s life is a chilling reminder of the rising radicalism fostered by the mainstream media and the Democrat establishment. The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, appears to be another misguided pawn influenced by the left’s relentless narrative around protecting democracy— a narrative that has been weaponized to justify outrageous behavior from individuals who should know better. Routh’s social media history reveals a man easily swayed by the constant cries of ‘threats to democracy’ echoing from the Democratic party, most notably by figures like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The fact that Routh managed to get so close to Trump raises serious questions about the security provided to the former president. Despite assurances from the Secret Service Acting Director that Biden ordered the same level of protection for Trump as a sitting president, it is apparent that something is amiss. Following July’s assassination attempt, one would expect rigorous security measures to be in place, but this incident suggests either oversight or negligence in protecting a man who has repeatedly been targeted by leftist extremists.

Beyond the security lapses, the circumstances surrounding Routh’s knowledge of Trump’s whereabouts are troubling. How did he know where Trump would be, especially when such details weren’t widely shared? This hints at potential tracking or inside information, further compounding the urgency for a comprehensive investigation. The very idea that an individual who shows signs of instability could have this level of access to a former president is alarming and speaks to broader systemic failures.
Further examination of Routh’s background paints an unsettling picture. A neighbor described him as “a little cuckoo,” which underscores that there were indeed warning signs about his mental state. Coupled with a Biden-Harris sticker displayed prominently on his vehicle, it raises suspicions about the ideological influences that may have pushed him toward radical action. If a person like Routh, living a seemingly peaceful life in Hawaii, can suddenly take a turn toward violence, it’s imperative to question the societal forces at play.

The suspect’s own son added fuel to this fire, asserting that his father hates Trump, as “every reasonable person does.” This statement reflects how deeply ingrained the media’s demonization of Trump has become, leading even family members to espouse narratives steeped in partisanship. The idea that all reasonable individuals should reject a former president is a dangerous belief that—fueled by mainstream media propaganda—can lead disaffected individuals to act out in extreme ways. Those pushing the narrative ought to consider the potential consequences of their rhetoric, lest they sow further discord in an already divided nation.
