Trump After 2nd Assassination Attempt: ‘There’s Something Going on, Perhaps It’s God’
“There’s something going on, perhaps it’s God wanting me to be president to save this country,” Trump quipped in a Monday night X Space. “Nobody knows.”
Trump then recalled the first assassination attempt against him, saying, “When I made the right turn, it’s very unusual because the people weren’t on the right, the people who were standing out in front of me. When I turned my head at an exact 90 degree angle, the bullet came zooming by and clipped my ear.”
“And then yesterday, you had another one [assassination attempt] with a different result, actually, a much better result because we lost Corey [Comperatore],” the 45th president said, adding that two other rally goers, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, were severely injured.
Dana Bash Claims Second Would-Be Assassin’s ‘Anti-Trump Posts’ Have ‘Nothing To Do With Kamala Harris And Joe Biden’
Trump accused Harris and Biden in a Monday Fox News Digital interview of espousing “rhetoric” that he claimed is contributing to the attempts on his life. Bash, on “CNN Newsroom with Wolf Blitzer,” noted that both Harris and Biden have said they are grateful Trump was unscathed after the second attempt and dismissed any suggestion that they influenced Routh, despite his posts, including one mirroring their repeated claim that “democracy is on the ballot,” according to reports.
“Well, everything is political right now. Look, they have each separately, even president Biden today when he came out and spoke to reporters on his way out to the helicopter, said that he is very glad that the Secret Service was able to do their job, that he’s very glad that former President Trump wasn’t hurt,” Bash said. “And Kamala Harris said the same thing. Everything is politicized in this environment. So it‘s not surprising that that is what he said.”
“There’s absolutely, again, no basis in fact, that they were behind this at all. We don’t know much about this guy yet at all other than he was somebody who was trying to find a way at in his mid-to- late-50s go and serve on the front lines of Ukraine and he obviously had some anti-Trump posts,” she continued. “But that has nothing to do with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. It has to do with the fact that this is his political belief and obviously this is a very disturbed individual, this alleged suspect.”
Routh’s full post, which is from 2024, tagged Biden and stated, “@POTUS Your campaign should be called something like KADAF. Keep America democratic and free. Trumps should be MASA …make Americans slaves again master. DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose,” according to Reuters.
Here’s Why the Media Will Memory-Hole the Latest Trump Assassination Attempt
"I really do... I don't care what you feel about him or Harris. I mean, you know, this is — this is the expectation that he will be safe. And the reason why, this is, you know, in some ways — you said how close the election is — the promise, this is a safety issue that is being thrown into a very, intense political environment in which the very fact of an assassination, a constitutional moment, because-because, because it's gonna — it would-could have impacted voters, will be used for political purposes.
Kayyem undoubtedly said the quiet part out loud there. The real issue for her and I'm sure pretty much everyone at CNN is that they hate Trump, who has now faced two assassination attempts in just over two months, and that it might boost Trump’s chances in the election.
That was their concern after the last assassination attempt, too. Members of the media lamented how the iconic photos of a bloodied Trump might boost him in the election. Sadly, this is what they are worried about when they should be worried about how their anti-Trump rhetoric has contributed to unhinged leftists resorting to political violence
7 Things We Know About Ryan Routh, the Suspect of the 2nd Trump Assassination Attempt
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, of Hawaii, was identified as the suspect in an attempted assassination of Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump at a golf course on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida.
Routh was charged on Monday morning in federal court with two federal counts—possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
He told the court that he has a 25-year-old son, has no assets, besides trucks in Hawaii worth around $1,000, and makes about $3,000 per month.
He is being represented by a public defender and is due back in court on Sept. 23, according to reporters at the federal courthouse in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Reporters say Routh appeared in a blue jumpsuit and was shackled. No motive has been disclosed by federal, state, or local law enforcement officials.

So, who paid for his airfare? Who paid for that vehicle? Who bought that gun? The armor?
The Matrix must be shorting out. It’s the only thing that makes sense. Proving both DeSantis’s point about the feds’ conflict of interest and … something really weird, the Daily Beast ran a super strange story yesterday headlined, “U.S. Attorney Handling Would-Be Trump Assassin’s Case Is a Haitian Immigrant.” A Haitian immigrant? Come on. I mean, what are the odds? Seriously.
Markenzy Lapointe, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, who now leads the federal government’s Routh investigation, is a Haitian immigrant raised in Florida. Lapointe —the country’s very first Haitian-American U.S. Attorney— is a Biden nominee sworn in on January 9th, 2023.
Lapointe presumably supervises (or at least assists in) the prosecution of President Trump in the Southern District of Florida. We don’t know how Mr. Lapointe feels about the recent dismissal of special prosecutor Jack Smith’s case, due to Smith’s unconstitutional appointment. The Southern District is currently appealing that dismissal.
Nor do we know what Mr. Lapointe thinks about Trump’s recent criticism of Springfield’s Haitian invasion, or all the pet-munching memes. Nor do we know whether Mr. Lapointe believes that drinking cat blood at midnight brings good juju. It’s probably unfair to assume. We’ll just have to wait and see what his little Haitian Trump doll looks like.

Failed assassin Ryan Routh was in federal court yesterday, in a hearing quite logically called the “first appearance.” Fox covered the story under the headline, “Trump assassination attempt suspect laughs, smiles during first court appearance in Florida.” Routh was apparently cracking jokes with his public defender, which sounds annoying but could just be his way of managing anxiety.
Details were sparsely provided, but this most interesting paragraph leaped out:
Right away, we see some problems. For Portlanders, Routh claimed an annual income of $36,000 — far below the poverty level. Which means there is a lot of mysterious money floating around world-traveling Mr. Routh.
Here are only a few of the many possible questions: how did Routh afford international travel to and from Ukraine? Or to buy guns, body armor, and GoPro cameras? Who owns the Nissan truck he tried to escape in? Did he rent it? If so, with what money and what credit? How did Routh get to Florida? Where was he staying? How was he paying for stuff? Cash? Credit?
How did flat-broke Routh get in front of nearly every corporate media camera and reporter in 2022, from Newsweek to the New York Times?
Routh has an extensive low-level criminal record going back decades, including felony weapons violations. How did he buy the gun he brought to Trump’s golf course? According to the FBI’s criminal affidavit, it was a military SKS-style assault rifle made in former Soviet bloc countries, so it wasn’t from around here. The rifle’s serial number was "obliterated" and unreadable to the naked eye.
Why obliterate the serial number? Who is Routh trying to protect? Who gave him that gun?
