In the latest development from the depths of leftist lunacy, a man named Ryan Wesley Routh has made headlines for plotting a laughably pathetic assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Just when one might think the left had scraped the bottom of the barrel of sanity, Routh adds another layer of crazy with a handwritten letter revealing his not-so-successful ambitions.
Routh found himself in hot water after his explosive plans came to light during a run-in with law enforcement at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach. The scene unfolded on September 15, a date that will surely earn its place in the annals of absurdity. It turns out Routh had been lurking around the Palm Beach area for weeks—likely pondering the logistics of his grand failure. His attempt was tragically foiled, not by his lack of skill, but by the sheer stupidity of his plan itself.

The plot thickened when a civilian stumbled upon a box left by Routh that contained a treasure trove of bizarre items, including ammunition, tools, and four cell phones. One can only assume Routh planned to film himself dramatically failing in his mission—or perhaps he just loved outdated technology. The handwritten letter he left behind addressed to “The World” reads like an off-brand comic book villain’s manifesto, revealing that he offered $150,000 to anyone willing to “finish the job.” This is the sort of action typically reserved for the pages of a poorly written thriller, not the real world.
Routh’s letter also demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of his target. He lamented that Trump “ended relations with Iran like a child,” bemoaning the unraveling of the Middle East. Clearly, Routh, with his remarkable sense of foreign policy insight, has all the credentials necessary to critique the former president’s decisions. It would be laughable if it weren’t so tragically misguided. While Routh’s grasp of political nuance is lacking, his commitment to harming a former president is all too alarming.
In a twist of pure irony, Routh has expressed regret for what he describes as a mistake in supporting Trump in 2016. Instead of introspection and accountability for his deranged ideas, he has blamed Trump for the world’s problems, calling the former president a “retarded child.” Ironically, if there’s anyone that fits the label of childish, it would be a man who believes he can single-handedly influence global affairs through threats and violence. And while he appears to have been inspired by some misguided sense of remorse for the Iranian nuclear deal, his proposals for “natural selection” echo a remarkably disturbing trend of the extreme left’s violent rhetoric.
To make matters worse, Routh’s antics have foiled the efforts of countless law-abiding citizens who are truly concerned about the state of our nation. As it stands, Routh’s escapades underscore the real need for enhanced protection for public figures, particularly conservative leaders. The irony here is palpable; while the left preaches about compassion and respect, they seem to thrive on chaos and hatred.
In conclusion, Routh’s assassination plot highlights not only his reckless ideology but also the deep-seated issues within the left. With weekly doses of absurdity emerging from radical corners, it becomes increasingly apparent that there’s a significant segment of society willing to act on delusional thoughts fueled by outrage. Perhaps if they spent as much time working toward constructive dialogue instead of destruction, the world would be a far better place.
