Picture Emerges of Second Would-Be Trump Assassin

<![CDATA[Ed published the breaking news about this incident yesterday, but we initially didn't have a lot to go on. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump by Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, of Hawaii is being billed as the second such attempt on Trump's life this summer. At first glance, that certainly seems like an accurate portrayal. But the deeper we delve into the details, the less clear the picture becomes. While Routh's intentions may appear clear, there is a significant difference between intentions and actions. Also, in terms of potential motives and rationale, Routh appears to be disturbed in some fashion, but he also appears to be rather confused. While more details no doubt need to be explored, this thwarted attack plan is coming into focus and it paints a rather curious but largely unimpressive picture of the would-be assassin. For one thing, Routh clearly didn't seem to be a fan of Donald Trump, but he was also critical of Joe Biden and many other political figures as well as policies being followed by Washington.
