New images reveal the backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle that a gunman left behind when fleeing the scene where he was targeting Donald Trump. Law enforcement held a press conference in West Palm Beach on Sunday after the FBI announced it is investigating a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump in just two months. The former president was rushed to safety on Sunday after multiple shots were fired in his vicinity while he was playing golf at his club in West Palm Beach.

Not a very bright "would-be" assassin if he's 400-500 yards away from the target and uses an AK-47, which is good to about 50 yards.

#1, AK 47 'style' I missed the first time through = rifle with a magazine, and/or scope. I'm just glad he didn't get the other ear clipped. I'd like to see him get his own people in all matters of security. the closer we get the crazier it's going to get. Musk beef up his army.

The GoPro would indicate someone paid him to do the hit and wanted to watch the proof.

Incompetent nutcase, IMO. Scopes on AKs are typically of little real value because there are essentially no solid mounting systems for scopes on the market. In addition, the inherent accuracy of the AK design is relatively poor. Still, very dangerous,and even idiots occasionally get lucky. Unskilled,poor weapon choice or not, still very dangerous. And this will not be the last.

Why isn't the Secret Service FOLLOWING Trump on the golf course, as well as being ahead of him on the course? (I am just a grandma, but that question occurred to me.)

A really good canine unit patrolling the Trump properties or wherever he should be visiting or speaking at would be what I think could be called "a force multiplier." Get those Malinois out there NOW! Some nice Shepherds would be a lovely addition (I can attest to their marvelous character).

400-500 yards with an ak style rifle is pretty ambitious. The 7.62X39 round is not that powerful to start with. Yes, it will go that far, but there are better rifles out there. Just another liberal soy boy who saw one on TV and thought it looked cool.

Right, #10. Who knew which hole and @ what time he'd be there. Until we know more, there's something sort of wag-the-doggish about our limited knowledge thus far. There's supposedly a city bus stop through that same colonnade of trees, only much closer to where Trump was. Wouldn't an assassin choose the much closer location instead? Routh has a peculiar history of getting attention for his tough-guy talk---he's gonna take on Putin and fight in Ukraine despite having no military experience. Are we supposed to believe that one day in 2023 he just called the NYTimes and told them he's going to Ukraine by himself to fight off the Russians---and they should interview him? And so they did? Just like that? And those are the types of "credible" journalistic sources the Times relies upon? Oh, really?

Again, like Butler PA, the outer area of where President Trump was playing golf was not secure!!! Mayrokas who is head of Homeland Security, DOJ/FBI was withdrawing the necessary protection for President Trump so that he is vulnerable to be assassinated! These Leftists are determined to get President Trump killed! We're praying for DJT's safety as we trust other American patriots are.

President Trump was golfing with friends when the second attempt to assassinate him on his Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, FL, took place. Ryan Wesley Routh was tracked down by police vehicles after he reportedly fled from the scene of the alleged attempt to assassinate President Trump in West Palm Beach, Florida, yesterday. Routh reportedly dropped the AK-47 he used when US Secret Service agents spotted the end of his rifle poking through the tree line and ran to his car, where he jumped in a vehicle and attempted to flee law enforcement.

The gunman who allegedly staked out former President Donald Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course with an SKS rifle was able to exploit a security hole that the Secret Service has known about for years. News photographers — including those hired by The Post — have had no problem repeatedly securing spots around the perimeter of the course to snap pictures of Trump playing golf or driving around in a golf cart. They have even taken images — which require a clear line of sight to the 45th president — unnoticed through the bushes with telephoto lenses. Some have gotten as close as 75 yards — without so much

The staunchly anti-Trump cast once again reacting to an assassination attempt against former President Trump with a mix of claiming political violence came from “both sides,” calls or blaming guns, a call for a crackdown on the First Amendment, and one co-host scoffing at those who dare to suggest that politically motivated violence had no place in America. Arguably, the worst reaction came from fake Republican and DNC speaker Ana Navarro, who seemed to scoff at the outrage over the political violence directed at her favorite hate object: Trump.
