On Monday, The Associated Press published an article detailing how President Trump's most recent assassination attempt shooter Ryan Routh wrote a book urging Iran to kill him.

In his self-published book "Ukraine's Unwinnable War," Routh wrote of Iran, "You are free to assassinate Trump." The 2023 book went in detail to describe the former president as a "fool" and "buffoon" for both the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and the "tremendous blunder" of leaving the Iran nuclear deal.

"Routh wrote that he once voted for Trump and must take part of the blame for the “child that we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless."'

"Routh, 58, was arrested Sunday after authorities say he stalked the GOP presidential nominee as he golfed in West Palm Beach, Florida, with a AK-47-style rifle in an apparent assassination attempt thwarted by the Secret Service.

Through his voluminous online footprint, public records, news interviews and videos, a picture emerged of Routh as a man with a criminal past, plenty of outrage and shifting politics.

His over 500 posts on X showed his views ranging from the left to the right, including support for politicians such as Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard and Nicki Haley, as well as Trump.

Voter records show he registered as an unaffiliated voter in North Carolina in 2012, most recently voting in person during the state’s Democratic primary in March.

Routh also made 19 small donations totaling $140 since 2019 to ActBlue, a political action committee that supports Democratic candidates, according to federal campaign finance records."
