Would-be Trump assassin 'obsessed' with Ukraine - media --The suspect was allegedly willing to "fight and die" for Kiev and tried to recruit volunteers to join him | 16 Sept 2024 | The man behind a botched assassination attempt against Donald Trump at his Florida golf club has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh by multiple media reports citing anonymous law enforcement sources... A man by that name appeared to be a staunch supporter of Ukraine in its conflict with Moscow, according to U.S. media and internet users who analyzed his social media accounts before they were deleted. Routh's social media profiles were filled with posts highlighting his "self-proclaimed involvement" in the Ukraine conflict and attempts to recruit soldiers to fight against Russia, according to CNN chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst John Miller. Routh repeatedly voiced fierce support for Kiev in dozens of often nonsensical posts in 2022, saying he was willing to fight and die for Ukraine and "we need to burn the Kremlin to the ground," according to CNN.
