Once again, the Democrats and their loyal media allies find themselves skirting the line of sanity, fumbling the ball on accountability when a rabid fanatic targets Donald Trump. The latest twist in this absurd soap opera involves an attempted assassination at Trump’s golf club, where it appears the would-be assassin may have had a little too much information about the former president’s whereabouts. An ex-FBI figure describes this alarming possibility as “scary,” a sentiment that could leave even the most ardent anti-Trump critics feeling a tad uneasy.
The suspect in question, Ryan Wesley Routh, made what could only be described as a last-ditch effort to become a footnote in a history he likely doesn’t understand. Reports indicate that he flew from Hawaii, perhaps believing himself to be some sort of hero on a crusade. Routh’s reckless venture could not have unfolded without a peculiar level of knowledge about Trump’s golf schedule—a fact that demands scrutiny. Investigators are now scrambling to piece together exactly how Routh acquired such specific insider information. Was it sheer luck, snooping, or something far more sinister?

The ex-FBI official, Chris Swecker, outlined three possibilities, dissecting this bizarre scenario like a seasoned detective. The first two options—random luck or espionage—can be dismissed as mere fantasy. The third, however, suggests the unnerving notion that someone may have fed Routh crucial intel, which raises questions not only about security but also the very integrity of the political discourse surrounding Trump. Could it be that the caustic atmosphere fostered by the left is driving unstable individuals to such extremes? It certainly feels that way, and it should make any rational American shudder.
Routh’s antics—as if setting up a GoPro to document his impending failure and bringing an AK-style rifle into the mix—demonstrate a complete disconnect from reality. The sheer audacity of this wannabe assassin is matched only by the incompetence of those who should have been monitoring him. One must also consider how he managed to get so close to Trump, especially in light of other recent threats against the former president. The Secret Service’s rush to apprehend Routh raises even more questions about their security protocols.
As several officials have pointed out, rhetoric matters. The constant drumbeat of accusations from the Democrats—branding Trump as everything from a dictator to a harbinger of doom—only serves to amplify tensions. By painting the former president as an existential threat to democracy, the left inadvertently empowers the deranged individuals who take these words literally. The left might want to consider dialing back the incendiary language, particularly when it appears to have real-world consequences, such as when individuals take matters into their own hands—emboldened by the toxic rhetoric swirling around them.
The disturbing reality remains that as the political landscape becomes increasingly polarized, those speaking out against Trump are often shielded from recognizing their role in this dangerous game. The left’s refusal to acknowledge the dangerous impact of their consistent dehumanization efforts against Trump and his supporters might just be the ultimate irony in a bitter political saga. And yet, they persist—carrying on while those affected by their chaotic narrative spiral into radicalism.
