Donald Trump has turned against his opponent Kamala Harris and the Democrats, blaming them in a post for the shootings outside his golf course in Palm Beach.

The Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency specifically hinted that the latest assassination attempt against him in Florida was due to the communist leftist rhetoric of the Democrats, demanding the immediate closure of the borders.

The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken…

At the same time, a video of the arrest of the suspect in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump has been released to the public. In the footage, Ryan Wesley Ruth is seen complying with the authorities’ instructions and being taken into custody without offering any resistance.

The suspect was brought before a federal court, where he was charged with two firearm-related offenses, a day after he was spotted hiding in bushes armed with a rifle at the former president’s golf course in Florida.

It is likely that additional charges will be brought against the suspect, but the initial charges—possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number—allow authorities to keep him in custody while the investigation continues. These two charges carry sentences of 15 and 5 years, respectively.

On Sunday, Secret Service agents opened fire when an agent saw a rifle barrel protruding from the bushes at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, just a few hundred meters from where the former U.S. president was playing. The suspect fled in a car, leaving behind two backpacks and his weapon, an SKS rifle with a customized scope. Shortly afterward, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Ruth was arrested.

Ruth appeared in court today wearing a dark prison uniform with his hands and feet shackled, according to CNN.

The federal indictment states that the suspect had been near the golf course for more than 11 hours before being noticed by agents. Cellphone data shows that Ruth’s phone was at the location from approximately 1:59 a.m. until 1:31 p.m. on September 15.

Ruth was arrested about 40 minutes after being spotted, while driving on Interstate 95. When asked by officers if he knew why he was stopped, he “answered affirmatively,” according to the indictment. The license plate on his car had been stolen from another vehicle.

Ruth has two prior convictions in North Carolina: in 2002 for possession of a weapon of mass destruction and in 2019 for possession of stolen goods. No further details are currently available about these cases.
