'You Are Free to Assassinate Trump': What Alleged Trump Shooter Advocated in Rambling Manifesto

We're now two days on from the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, and one thing is abundantly clear: the alleged shooter, Ryan Routh, really wanted Trump to die before he could be elected to another term.

In a rambling manifesto entitled "Ukraine's Unwinnable War: The Fatal Flaw of Democracy, World Abandonment and the Global Citizen-Taiwan, Afghanistan, North Korea and the [E]nd of Humanity," which is still available on Amazon for the bargain price of $2.99, Routh expressly advocates for the assassination of Trump and urges Iran to undertake that task. When that didn't happen, it appears Routh decided to do it himself.

Routh admitted on X to having voted for Trump in 2016, but apparently became irate with the former president when he put the kibosh on Obama's ill-advised Iran nuclear deal. That was a dealbreaker for Routh, thus his appeal to Iran to take out Trump.

“You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the [nuclear] deal. No one here in the US seems to have the balls to put natural selection to work or even unnatural selection,” he added.

This next excerpt from Routh's screed is your standard unhinged leftist tirade:

“I must take part of the blame for the retarded child that we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless, but I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake and Iran I apologize,” Routh writes in the book, which was self-published last year.

All of this nonsense is because Routh became unhinged when he failed to become a freedom fighter for Ukraine. He left the U.S. for Ukraine in 2022 in the hopes of fighting for the country and rallying international support. As it turns out, even the Ukrainians didn't want him, with actual freedom fighters calling him a "wack job" and saying something was "off" about him.

“A crazy idiot, but no one’s really surprised. There are people like that that show up and are desperate to help and be important,” one American fighting for Ukraine told The Post. “And he was just one of those – just on the crazier end of things.”

Sounds like your classic American leftist circa 2024, no? They're so convinced they're good people -- or perhaps fear they're not! -- that they advocate for the killing of their political opponents. Make it make sense. 

It's important to note two things here:

1. People like Ryan Routh are weak-minded and easily manipulated by the insane anti-Trump rhetoric of Kamala, the Democrat Party, and the lapdog media. Democrat leaders light the fires and all it takes is one small spark to set off the likes of Ryan Routh.

2. If elected to a second term, Trump is likely to advocate cutting off aid to Ukraine, also known as a slush fund for Democrats. Under no circumstances will the left allow this to happen, so maybe, just maybe, that's one of the reasons we're seeing the increasing violence against Trump?

Seven weeks from today, voters will head to the polls to elect our next president. The Democrats, led by Kamala, are unlikely to tone down their attacks on Trump, so we're left to wonder how many Ryan Rouths are out there willing to do the left's bidding?
