Motorcade going to the golf course?
Though that doesn't explain why Routh was geopinged at the golf course prior to....

What are the chances that CBS News, The New York Times, Semafor, Newsweek, and several other media outlets—all known for their disdain for Donald Trump—were in contact with Trump’s attempted assassin, Ryan Routh?
This is far from normal...
1) Routh was featured in The New York Times in March 2023 for his efforts to recruit fighters for Ukraine.
2) CBS News even admits to texting frequently with him for over a year during the early stages of the war.
3) Semafor interviewed him about recruiting Afghan mercenaries for Ukraine.
4) Newsweek spoke with him in 2022 regarding his pro-Ukraine stance.
Despite being on the FBI’s radar and a multiple-time felon, Routh seemed to fly under law enforcement's radar.

[DS] Will Increase Attacks, Stage Is Set,People Are Seeing That [DS] Is The Real Threat
The [DS] carried out another assassination attempt on Trump, the attacks will increase, they are panicking, they are desperate. The stage is set. The people are now seeing that the [DS] is the real threat to democracy. The [DS] is now moving into pushing war, to distract from all of their crimes. This will fail, the people see who the true enemy really is.

Gloves are coming off
Yesterday, Donald J. Trump nearly lost his life. An armed gunman waited for him in the bushes. He brought a go-pro camera to record it. A secret service agent spotted the barrel of a gun through a fence and shot at the gunman. The gunman fled. He was caught. And now we slowly learn about him and his motive.
President Trump is my running mate, and my friend, but he is more importantly a father and grandfather to people who love him very much. I want him to have many more years with his family. (And selfishly, I'd like many more with my own.)
I admire the president for calling for peace and calm. The rhetoric is out of control. It nearly got Steve Scalise and many others killed a few years ago. It nearly got Donald Trump killed twice. But I want to say something about yesterday's news, and how it illuminates the difference between vigorous debate and violent rhetoric.
Here is what we know so far: Kamala Harris has said that "Democracy is on the line" in her race against President Trump. The gunman agreed, and used the exact same phrase. He had a Kamala Harris bumper sticker on his truck. He was obsessed with Ukraine's "fight for Democracy" and absorbed many unhinged views about the Russia-Ukraine war. HIs name is Ryan Routh, and he donated 19 times to Democrat causes and zero to Republican ones.
How do you think the Democrats and their media allies would respond if a 19-time Republican donor tried to kill a Democratic official? It's a question that answers itself. For years, Kamala Harris's campaign surrogates have said things like "Trump has to be eliminated." And how have their media allies responded to the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in as many months?
NBC News called the attempted assassination a "golf club incident." The LA Times told us "Trump Targeted at Golf Club." The USA Today's top of the fold headline is "Hope in America," and they published a preposterous letter to the editor arguing that Trump "brings these assassination attempts on himself." CNN's Dana Bash--who just yesterday bizarrely accused me of inciting a bomb threat--said today that Harris campaign rhetoric didn't motivate Routh even though he echoed their rhetoric explicitly.
PBS's weekend show perfectly illustrates the double standard of Kamala Harris's media friends. After spending 30 seconds on the second assassination attempt on President Trump, they then focused on the real danger: me and President Trump, who are, according to them, personally responsible for bomb threats against Springfield. Of course, I repeatedly condemend those threats. And reports today suggest they came from a foreign country, not--as the media suggested--a deranged Trump fan.
The double standard is breathtaking. Donald Trump and I are, by their account, directly responsible for bomb threats from foreign countries. Why? Because we had the audacity to repeat what residents told us about the problems in their town. Meanwhile, Harris allies call for Trump to be eliminated as the media publishes arguments that he deserved to be shot.
This seems like a double standard. But at a deep level, it is entirely consistent.
Consider Springfield. Citizens are telling us that there are problems. These include the undeniable truths of higher car accidents, unaffordable housing, evictions of residents, overcrowded hospitals, overstressed schools, and rising rates of disease. They also include the infamous pet stories--which, again, multiple people have spoken about (either on video or to me or my staff).
Kamala Harris's first strategy was to ignore these people and their concerns. Yes, she had prevented the deportation of millions of illegal aliens, and some of them made their way to Springfield. But it was a small town with no voice. Some of the local leadership even loved the cheap labor. So the suffering of thousands of American citizens went ignored.
Their next move with these stories is censorship. In Springfield, a psychopath (or a foreign government) calls in a bomb threat, so they blame that on President Trump (and me). The threat of violence is disgraceful of course, yet the media seems to relish it. They cover a bomb threat, but not the rise in murders. They cover the threat, but not the HIV uptick. They cover the threat, not the schools overwhelmed with new kids who don't speak English. They cover the threat, not rising insurance rates or the car accidents that caused them. They cover the threat, not the failures of Kamala Harris's leadership.
The purpose is not to turn down the rhetoric. If anything, covering the bomb threats gives whoever makes them exactly what he wants: attention. The purpose is distraction and shame. How dare you talk about the problems of Haitian migration in Springfield? You're endangering people, simply by discussing the problems of Kamala Harris's policies. It's a form of moral blackmail, designed not to make anyone safe but to shut everyone up.
Springfield is the most recent, but hardly the most egregious example. There was the Hunter Biden laptop story, censored by BigTech. And who can forget that anyone who didn't support Kamala Harris's Ukraine policy was drenched in the blood of Ukrainian children. That last one appears to have had some effect on Routh--the most recent would-be assassin. The message is always the same: don't you dare express an opinion on the public affairs of your nation. The message is: shut up.
This is the difference between debate--even aggressive debate--and censorship. It is one thing to attack Kamala Harris for "destroying the country" and quite another to say that President Trump should be "eliminated." It is one thing to criticize overheated rhetoric, and another to say that a former president has invited an assassination on himself. It is one thing to say that Donald J. Trump's arguments about the election of 2020 are wrong; it is another thing to attempt to remove him from the ballot over it.
It is one thing to say that pets are not, in fact being eaten, and another thing to say that anyone who disagrees is trying to murder people. Dissent, even vigorous dissent, is a great tradition of the United States. Censorship is not.
For the next 7 weeks of this campaign, I will vigorously defend your right to speak your mind. I believe you have every right to criticize me and Donald J. Trump, even if you say terrible or untrue things about us. But when I ask you to "tone down the rhetoric" it's not about being nice--our citizens have every right to be mean, even if I don't like it--or empty platitudes.
Instead, I'm asking all of us to reject censorship. Reject the idea that you can control what other people think and say. Embrace persuasion of your fellow citizens over silencing them--either through the powers of Big Tech or through moral blackmail.
I think this will make our public debate much better. But there's something else. Reject censorship and you reject political violence. Embrace censorship, and you will inevitably embrace violence on its behalf.
The reason is simple. The logic of censorship leads directly to one place, for there is only one way to permanently silence a human being: put a bullet in his brain.

Is it possible that the two assassination attempts are unrelated and were carried out by lone wolf lunatics who simply allowed their insane thoughts to drive them to attempt something they thought would get them some kind of fame?
It wouldn't be the first time in American history that it happened. Remember Gerald Ford:

Reaction immediately after the second assassination attempt
Ford was the target of two assassination attempts during his presidency. In Sacramento, California, on September 5, 1975, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson, pointed a Colt .45-caliber handgun at Ford and pulled the trigger at point-blank range.[145][146] As she did, Larry Buendorf,[147] a Secret Service agent, grabbed the gun, and Fromme was taken into custody. She was later convicted of attempted assassination of the President and was sentenced to life in prison; she was paroled on August 14, 2009, after serving 34 years.[148]
In reaction to this attempt, the Secret Service began keeping Ford at a more secure distance from anonymous crowds, a strategy that may have saved his life seventeen days later. As he left the St. Francis Hotel in downtown San Francisco, Sara Jane Moore, standing in a crowd of onlookers across the street, fired a .38-caliber revolver at him. The shot missed Ford by a few feet.[145][149] Before she fired a second round, retired Marine Oliver Sipple grabbed at the gun and deflected her shot; the bullet struck a wall about six inches above and to the right of Ford's head, then ricocheted and hit a taxi driver, who was slightly wounded. Moore was later sentenced to life in prison. She was paroled on December 31, 2007, after serving 32 years.[150]

I know that isn't as neat as imagining a deep state conspiracy, but it seems more likely than the CIA and some rogue government officials trying to off someone running for prez.

US Attorney overseeing Trump assassination attempt case made history as Haitian lawyer
The first Haitian-born American U.S. Attorney is leading the office prosecuting the suspect in Donald Trump's most recent assassination attempt.Markenzy Lapointe is the top prosecutor for the Southern District of Florida's federal court, where Ryan Routh faces gun-related charges after a Secret Service agent saw a gun poking through the bushes of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump was in range. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Dispoto is prosecuting the case, court records show.
The historic case comes at a time when Trump has repeatedly spread misinformation about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, prompting bomb threats and school evacuations in the area.

bomb threats are not because of Trump, but have been revealed to be from outside the country...
That said, it was reported that Hillary, Bill & company screwed Haiti out of $1B after the Earthquake destroyed their country.
Not to mention it's said black kids produce mo better adrenochrome... reason for them helping Laura Silsby get off with a slap on the wrist after attempting to steal away 33 kids they said were orphans, yet some were not....

Here's a Sunday morning laugh.
Wild Mother - the online alias of a woman called Desirée - lives in the mountains of Colorado, where she posts videos to 80,000 followers about holistic wellness and bringing up her little girl. She wants Donald Trump to win the presidential election.
About 70 miles north in the suburbs of Denver is Camille, a passionate supporter of racial and gender equality who lives with a gaggle of rescue dogs and has voted Democrat for the past 15 years.
The two women are poles apart politically - but they both believe assassination attempts against Mr Trump were staged.
Their views on the shooting in July and the apparent foiled plot earlier this month were shaped by different social media posts pushed to their feeds, they both say.
I travelled to Colorado - which became a hotbed of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election being stolen - for the BBC Radio 4 podcast Why Do You Hate Me? USA. I wanted to understand why these evidence-free staged assassination theories seemed to have spread so far across the political spectrum and the consequences for people like Camille and Wild Mother.

That's easy. People don't like to think. Really think - challenging their own thoughts/assumptions/biases.

Staged by whom? Trump? LOL
That would argue that Trump has some power/control over a lot of people!
What a TV show that would be! Imagine the staff required to pull that one off... flawlessly!!
Folks are all about conspiracy theories and this one really takes the cake.
The firefighter's family is suing for wrongful death. The perp is dead too.
The lack of any in depth investigation by the FBI/CIA and the destruction of evidence is unbelievable!
Trump staged all of that too? LOL

Suspect in Trump shooting attempt urged others to ‘finish the job’
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida — The man suspected of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump last week left a note several months ago urging others to “finish the job” and offering $150,000 to anyone who managed to kill the Republican presidential candidate.Prosecutors said suspect Ryan Routh placed the chilling handwritten letter in a box containing tools and building materials left at the home of an unnamed associate. Addressed to “The World,” the message denigrated Trump’s moral character and faulted him for his policy toward Iran.

There is PLENTY of evidence. It's the lazy way to just assume what you've been told is accurate. WAAAAAY more thought went into the theories (of course some right and some wrong) then just going along with the lemmings.

#1 took a bullet to the cranium?
Is that why #2 says to go after Trump? Because Trump staged it all?
The real truth is they (Neocons/deep state cabal) can't have Trump (legally) going after them via the rule of law for the crimes they've committed.
Start with Bill Cosby, Epstein, Winestien, and all the rest and end with P. Diddy (unless it keeps going?)...
Ever ask yourself why all these sexual predators have been exposed?
Since P. Diddy was arrested and the FBI raided his home:
Are you smelling their fear?
"They won't be able to walk down the street" Q
All you need to do is peruse the Pedophile thread. It's all there.
After you finish educating yourself... then peruse the Q posts - compare and contrast and wonder how 6 years ago 'Q' discussed what's happening today.
What a coincidence...

Fine. Make fun of the 'Q' series.
You're a smart guy, or seem to be...?
Don't believe in 'Q'. I could care less!
Meanwhile read Jon Herold's "Devolution" series.
He has all the receipts which is exactly what you want to prove to yourself what's going on behind the scenes.
Jon never heard of 'Q' until long after he compiled the receipts and connected the dots.
This should be a piece of cake for you.
