Once again an attempt has been made to take the life of former President and current candidate Donald Trump. This time the potential assassin, Ryan Routh, didn’t even get a chance to get a shot off. Routh positioned himself and his norinco sks rifle on the outer perimeter of Trump’s Mar-a-lago golf course. One of the insane parts of the attempt is that phone records show Routh had camped outside in his “sniper’s perch” for 12 hours. How is a man with a rifle able to go undetected for half a day outside of the property of one of the most influential figures in the world. As Trump was playing golf, Routh waited. He was only spotted as Trump was around 300-500 yards away. The muzzle of his rifle was seen by a Secret Service Agent walking hundreds of yards ahead of Trump. The agent then opened fire towards Routh, who then fled. He was apprehended shortly after. Though 300 yards seems far, an experienced shooter could easily make such a shot. It is alarming that yet again a threat was able to get so close to Trump. What will finally be the wake up call to beef up security for the former President? Or will it be too late?
