Just when it seemed the 2024 US Election couldn’t get any more dramatic, former President Donald Trump has suffered through a second assassination attempt.
While Trump was unharmed, and reports are now coming out that the gunman did not himself manage to fire off a shot, his intentions were crystal clear. The would-be assassin, now identified as Ryan Routh, fled the scene of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach after being spotted and shot at by Secret Service agents; leaving a rifle and other supplies in his wake.
Ex-CIA agent Andrew Bustamente, speaks to Piers Morgan about how the harrowing scene unfolded, and what the currently available intel would suggest. According to Andrew, it’s unlikely that Routh is working for the CIA, citing his clear instability as a disqualifying factor, but does agree that the rhetoric of Trump’s opponents may have radicalised him into believing Trump’s murder would save American democracy. Andrew also believes that the most logical reason for the Secret Service’s inability to stop these threats from reoccurring, is not conspiracy, but plain old incompetence.
