Trump assassination attempt trial starts Monday. Suspect Ryan Routh wants golf showdown

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The trial for the man accused of carrying out the second assassination attempt against President Donald Trump starts Sept. 8.

On Sept. 15, 2024, Trump was golfing at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida, when Secret Service officers spotted a rifle poking through the fenced perimeter of the course. The agents fired at the suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, and chased after him. The incident occurred just months after a bullet grazed Trump's ear in another attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Routh, 59, has already proven himself to be an unusual defendant in this high-profile case. He has opted to represent himself and recently filed a motion requesting strippers, a putting green and an 18-hole showdown with the president.

The proceedings start with jury selection on Sept. 8 at the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida.

1. Reminds me of a client I once had

He was charged with robbing a bunch of women who were playing mahjong in their apartment building. He wanted me to ask the judge to have all the jurors heads x-rayed and permission to place a gold Buddha on the counsel table.

2. If it were any other president I would consider this crazy.

But with Krasnov involved, it just makes sense. After Krasnov gropes the underage stripper and cheats blatantly in front of the judge and jury, while Krasnov's lawyers declare it a win, Routh can start his real defense with everyone knowing who they are dealing with.

3. I wonder what he was charged with

"...recently filed a motion requesting strippers, a putting green and an 18-hole showdown with the president."

So what's the problem? Sounds like *rump's kind of guy.

"The incident occurred just months after a bullet grazed Trump's ear in another attempt on his life..."

JFC. WTF.
