Second Trump Assassination Attempt Reveals Suspect’s Motives in Jail Letter

Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Trump, expressed disdain for the two-party system and detailed his political beliefs in a letter from jail.

Ryan Routh, 58, was arrested after allegedly attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump at a Florida golf club in September; no shots were fired as Secret Service intervened.
In a letter sent from jail to a Politico reporter, Routh denounced the two-party system, calling Trump a 'dictator' and urging limits on presidential power if Trump assumed office.
Routh compared himself to Thomas Crooks, the first failed Trump assassin, and described both as willing to 'die for freedom and democracy.'
The letter also criticized U.S. foreign policy, urging Biden and Blinken to engage with Middle Eastern groups like Hamas and Hezbollah to find common ground.
Routh’s son, Oran Routh, was arrested earlier this year on federal charges related to child pornography possession.
