A suspect in an assassination attempt on Donald Trump reportedly outlined his plans in a note, which included a disturbing offer of $150,000 to anyone willing to carry out the act. In the note, Ryan Wesley Routh criticized Trump’s approach to foreign relations, specifically mentioning that the former president "ended relations with Iran like a child," leading to chaos in the Middle East.

A former employee of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, has shared her thoughts on his behavior and a past incident involving law enforcement. Tina Cooper, who worked for Routh in 2002, recounted a tense three-hour police standoff that Routh was involved in, expressing her confusion over his actions. “I don’t know what he was thinking,” she remarked in an exclusive interview with The Independent, reflecting on Routh's tendency for what she described as "stupid" behavior.
