A 58-year-old man, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, has been charged with federal gun crimes following an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Federal authorities charged the suspect with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. The incident occurred while Trump was golfing, prompting Secret Service agents to open fire after spotting a rifle barrel in the bushes. The investigation remains ongoing as officials examine the suspect’s motives and background.

Third assassination attempt, somebody wake up and see, this is all fake, dump goes on about fake news, when we already know, he creates most of it, you only have to look at his lies over Iran.
He dreamt that he dwelt in marble halls,
With vassals and serfs at his side,
And of all who assembled within those walls,
Knew when he spoke that he lied
Shotgun? Noway was that a shotgun blast. Where did the 5 shots go?
The shooter intended to kill a paedophile. He should not have been charged.
Ring on july gotcha
Americans are sick and tired of government and Trump and Vance and Hegseth and the religious wackos, inflation, tariffs, wars, 40+ trillion in debt and above all facesit
This is pure Bsh.t
He's already fooled you twice.
Now he's going for 3 and the sympathy card.
Show must go on
Cant trust bbc with all the lies and scandals
Are people still going along with these pantomime shows? Youre a disgrace BBC just like the rest of the institutions
hes Number 1 most hated man in potus history
Mentally more pleasing for leftie loonies to shout "fake" than to admit they have incompetent violent weirdos on their side
Are we doing it right, trump? Please don't sue us!
This was more FAKE than Trumps wigs!
Donates to his go fund me
Another hollyweird actor 😂
circus clowns will clown, just look at the Turd King reaction when the police comes, he didn't even flinch, and immediately plugged his %20 million? 50 million? ballroom, pathetic
Will it change the outcome of the pending midterm elections coming in November or will they need to organise a few more of these.
That medal Trump has disgraced what's it called again Medal of Freedom or something should be given to the man. At least he tried to do something the rest of America seems to be lickspittles of another level.
He was exercising his 2nd Amendment Right!
Its wrong for him to try and shoot Donald Duck yet it's somehow okay for Mr Duck to kill 1000's of men women and children? For what ? makes no sense to anyone surely
Somebody will make a moviet about it soon. Also why was VP at that dinner? He should have declined as a line of succession and politically incorrect for him to be at the same event with the President. Even the Speaker Johnson was at the same event?? what a disasterous decision.
Come on who doesn’t want someone to actually succeed in taking this cnt down?
I can’t watch any more of this amateurish bullshit how standards have fallen ffs
Watch carefully. The women around him are shocked and surprised. But Mr. D. Trump has a smirk on his face as if to say "went off as planned".
I use to not realize how serious all this was. Hold on bravely Sir I'll be over soon. I pray to GOD hold on Sir.
Man, he would do anything to avoid the Trump-Epstein files. 🙂
The fact the BBC are going along with this nonsense only epitomises how they are all about pushing lies onto the people who can't think for themselves.
Trump admitted the “assassin” never crossed the first security barrier and was on another floor, far away from him. If he was that distant and stopped at the first layer, where’s the proof his target was Trump? That’s not fact—it’s hype, not "Common sense"
They should have charged Trump, not the suspect 😂
why care about it?
If you believe this you probaly thing the bbc does news 😂
