The suspected gunman in the apparent assassination attempt of former US President Donald Trump appeared before a court in Florida today.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been charged with federal gun crimes – possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obstructed serial number.
Court documents show that Routh was hiding on the edge of Trump’s Florida golf course for nearly 12 hours before the apparent assassination attempt.
Trump was unharmed during the incident on Sunday – it is the second apparent attempt on his life in two month.

@nitschih1441
Someone sits in the bushes with a rifle near Trump without any sight of trunk and not firing and you can that an attempt? This is America! Everyone has a gun near everyone.
@roberttitley
Ralf was driving a black car. See spot run. I could be a journalist lol
@Rekalin-n8x
They set it up that's why they knew he was there, think back to the Denzel Washington movie that's how white people are
@nitschih1441
Actually, who cares anymore?
@Rekalin-n8x
Any person with a brain knows that Donald Trump and his people set that up
@robertamann2093
maybe hes really a brit working for MI 6 and CIA. did he help BoJo and vicky (cookies) Nuland.
its NOT an AK 47 but an SKS which is a semi automatic rifle used in the soviet block countries.
@roadwary56
Radical Dem strikes again. That party of peace, love, tolerance, empathy and democracy. Oh, he became disenchanted with Trump so let's not wait for a democratic election process, commit a heinous crime to try to eliminate the political opposition. The guy was a radicalized nut job POS with a criminal track record long as his arm including felonies with a weapon. Why are these nutters on the streets in the first place?
@tomhenry897
A patsy
Like Oswald
@tkenyon1988
Apparent? 😂😂
@brookiecookie004
… no one else think he’s doing this himself
@silentmajority8365
had a Biden sticker on his car
Had no job or drivers license but was able to buy items worth several thousand dollars Hmm?
He like Thomas Crooks had appeared in Blackrock videos
He just somehow knew which day Trump would be there
@jessgunn6639
You cut trumps text short, the next line he was looking for money again, the man has no shame
@seeon6688
"No, Trump, this is still not your time," he said.
"What do you mean?" Trump asked.
"You will be given one more chance, to prove your Good Fruit." He left Trump with many questions, about what that fruit might be.
(Galatians 5:22-23) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Amen
@brucemacmillan9581
Let Trump pay for his own damn security. It's disgraceful that taxpayers have to foot the bill for protecting this wretched traitor.
@cyberwip
Is this one of the illegal immigrants Trump has been talking about?
How does a convicted felon get an assault rifle?
The secret service makes our streets safer "without gun control", it's not the guns that need control, it's the shooters!
@Jude74
A crazy person that if not for Trump and his ilk would not have had access to a weapon of mass destruction in the first place. He has priors going back decades, including one where he barricaded himself in a building with a machine gun. Not a single day spent in jail oh yes, he lives in a red state North Carolina.
@robertcox5896
How did he know where Trump was at?
@Msevertrue147
The guy is a republican again who voted for trump in 2016
@cobar5342
When will the Yanks learn to control guns?
Out of 350 million of them a few are going to be nutty but they can buy military assault rifles.
It is not hard to put two and two together
@trish.goes.ironman
He's a Trump lover who needs money, since 'assasination attempt' is the new marketing tactic -he agreed to do a missed attempt show given the other party agrees to send the compensation to his family 💅🏽
@SuperSonaldo7
i wonder his thies with government , blackrock , fbi insider?? theres more to this then this guy let me tell you that
@jamesgunn1606
Umm…the serial number is in several locations on an SKS
@aurorapinillos3039
I’m also thinking about Bognino advice to President Trump it will be a repeat. Only God hands protected him🙏🏻. ❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌟🌟🌟
@dysplasiagiraffe4845
an American who volunteered to fight for Ukraine wanted to take a shot at Donald Trump. Colour me shocked
@stgeorgeist
if weapon and other objects were found left there
Why were they left or who put them there.
First image to be released is a fake
Mans head is there and also lots of bad photo shot mistakes shadowing and Flag is wrong way around as is the
wording fonts in back ground/
First supossed gun against fence is wrong fundged with no solid distinct edges.
No actual video is shown of suspect only being stopped
How long was man trasiled before
and distance mbetween Hawihee and mFlorida for information
is a long long way.as is any details of Trumps actual injuries to face or ear.
WhAT ACTUALLY IS FACT TRUTH REALITY
from 6 January to the election
just how many nmore may die for the ego
of a vial liar cheat thief woman abusing convicted felon
@benjaminlibertarianscorpio
The Ukrainian connection is interesting
@benjaminlibertarianscorpio
he may be immortal
@Liam1992
People defending the man is whats wrong with this day and age 😂 all experts and have absolutely no idea what happened 😂 the man has had two attempts at his life if anyone else got shot at twice they would be locked in there house crying while trump is out there still killing the game
@sambishop9567
All the BBC cares about is whether or not, the man has a BBC 😂😂😂😂
@splifsend
He never joined the Ukraine army – he was rejected because he's old and has no experience…
He is part of the Ukraine foreign forces recruiting team.
@salahaldinsackey1521
This man didn't go to the Gulf course to kill anybody.
1) He would have seen the Secret Service guy approaching his direction from over 100 metres away.
2) If he saw the SS guy approach from a far – and he could not have seen him approach – WHY would any would be assassin in his position poke his rifle so far out for the SS man to walk close enough to see it?
3) Why would any would be assassin HANG ANYTHING ON THE FENCE TO GIVE AWAY HIS POSITION – especially, when he could not have missed seeing the SS man approach. IS HE RETARDED?
4) Why did he LEAVE HIS RIFLE AND RUN OFF LEAVING IN ADDITION TO THAT, A TON OF DNA BEHIND? EVERY ADULT has watched at least one Crime Scene programme in recent years to know not to do that.
Again, IS HE RETARDED?
5) Why did he allow himself to be caught so easily? He seem to have had the sense of mind to bring along BULLETPROOF VESTS, which mean he was not on a suicide mission. Yet, HE RUN TO HIS VEHICLE, WHICH HE HAD LEFT IN PLAIN SIGHT, to make his get away.
NOTHING that this man did indicates that he went to that Gulf course to kill anybody.
So far, they never mention whether or not that rifle was loaded with real ammunition.
DONALD TRAMP IS ATTENTION SEEKING! WHY else would anybody CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THEMSELVES IN THE WAY HE DOES after one attempt on their life?
It does not matter how many SS personnel and/ or a battalion of soldiers is posted around this egotistical narcissist, he'll still would expose himself to danger BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE CAN NEVER WIN THIS ELECTIONS WITHOUT CHEATING, LIKE HE HAS ALWAYS DONE THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE!
@anneeq008
Suddenly Repugnants are meticulous shot gun licences and convicted felons using a firearm 🤔🙄
@mikeharborson1901
How many times has K-lady spoken about ending the R. Vs. U. ordeal… Now how about the man competing against her for the job!? — Seems like this guy has it all backwards and went for the wrong target!
@AxelFreeDog-ob9fg
Routh is not a beautiful american name. Where is his dna really from?
Look at his hair. Hes just angry bcos trump demands he stays away from schools and sticks to the disabled toilets if hes shy around men.
@kidvicious2227
The BBC need to worry there immigrant problems. Not american problems. Send them all back to Syria now
@nazoqazi2926
I don’t know why everybody is worried about Ukraine let Russia deal with it. It is their country.
@barbarabaldwin8040

I would move out of that area of Mara lago. Too much excitement. Peaceful places to live is for me, as my life is.
@mwdollar
Another MAGA gun nut trying to give Trump the political violence that he has sowed. Orrrr it's just another actor in Trump's desperate attempt to stay out of prison. Either way, it all flows back to criminal traitor Trump.
@barbarabaldwin8040

@JampalCcc
Obama and Osama means same
@petefl1818
The secret service did the basics, surveyed the area for threats ahead of Trump going there, found one and neutralised it. No more to be said.
@Yeast85
Has the BBC looked into Kamala’s history by any chance? They done plenty on Trump
@sergeykaplenko6534
Good question: "Who he is…? Fricken BLUE moron. Very common creature.
