Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh wrote a chilling letter about the attempt on the former president months before the encounter at a Florida golf course.
The bombshell was revealed by the Justice Department which released the letter on Monday, a missive reportedly penned by the 58-year-old prior to staking out a spot at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach where the former president was playing.
“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job,” Routh reportedly wrote in a handwritten note.
“The DOJ obtained the letter from a witness who says they received it inside a box delivered to them by Routh several months prior to the assassination attempt. Authorities say the witness opened the box only after hearing Routh was suspected in the attack,” Fox News reported. “The box contained several handwritten letters as well as ammunition, among other things. One of the letters, addressed ‘Dear World,’ discussed the assassination attempt.”

“Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president,” the letter continued. “U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America, and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity. Trump fails to understand any of [that].”
There was also a book by Routh that was found by investigators in which he encouraged Iran to carry out an assassination of Trump.
The 2023 book by Routh was titled “Ukraine’s Unwinnable War: The Fatal Flaw of Democracy, World Abandonment and the Global Citizen-Taiwan, Afghanistan, North Korea, WWIII and the End of Humanity.”
HOLY SH!T

“In the book, ROUTH stated that he ‘must take part of the blame for the [person] 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. You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal,” the DOJ noted.
Routh was set to appear before a federal judge in West Palm Beach on Monday.
Social media erupted in reaction to the stunning information.
They just inadvertently put a bounty on trumps head

They didn’t release the Covenant shooter manifesto because they were allegedly afraid it would inspire more shootings. And yet within a week they release a letter from Trump’s would-be assassin where he openly encourages more shootings and offers to pay for them. https://t.co/CXxlyHsjlN

They are blowing the dog whistle with this one by releasing this letter.
Also, how does a guy with $3000 monthly income be able to offer $150,000 bounty?

The media will report that they still don’t know what the motive was

Why hasn’t the DOJ charged him with attempted murder since his intention was and is clear? Where does this broke assassin get $150K?
Q: Why is the DOJ releasing this?
A: So that the bounty can be paid out to another assassin.— Savannah (@BasedSavannah) September 23, 2024
When was this written? This is wildly inappropriate to release. If anything, it’s a $150k incentive to the next nut with a screw loose. There’s no way to spin this besides absolutely reckless.
