This past summer, there were two assassination attempts on the life of Donald Trump. In the first, Trump was shot in the ear while speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

One rally attendee was killed, and two more were injured. The Secret Serve was ultimately able to fatally shoot this gunman, who was later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Crooks.

This was the first assassination attempt on the life of a current or former president in over forty years. It followed nearly a decade of violent anti-Trump rhetoric from the left on nearly a daily basis.

Two months later, Ryan Routh launched his own assassination attempt on Trump. He staked out Trump’s West Palm Beach, Florida golf course for hours, waiting for the former president to reach a certain hole. However, Routh fled the scene after being spotted by the Secret Service before he could fire off a shot. Thankfully, he was quickly apprehended.

Routh, 58, has spent the past few months at a Miami detention center awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to all charges. A disturbing jailhouse letter that he wrote has since been released.

From The Washington Free Beacon:
In the four-page letter, written before the presidential election, Routh warned that if Trump were to win, the United States needed to “remove the power of our military by the President and place it with Congress before January.”

“We must limit all Presidential power before Trump seizes our country,” Routh wrote.

Routh praised himself and previous would-be assassin Thomas Crooks as “ready to die for freedom and democracy.”

Routh sent a similar letter to the Palm Beach Post before the election that also referred to Trump as a “dictator.”

“Palm Beach should be leading the way and guiding our country hopefully to choose democracy over a dictator,” that letter reads.

That sounds an awful lot like the rhetoric that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other leftwing figures both in politics and in the media have been using to describe Trump for years. Go figure!

Trump Sounds Off

Trump himself pointed this out after Routh’s assassination attempt on him was narrowly thwarted.

“[Routh] believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it,” Trump said. “Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country—both from the inside and out.”

Democrats love to accuse Trump of inciting violence with his rhetoric. If a wannabe assassin was using Trump rhetoric after trying to kill Biden or Harris, we would never hear the end of it. Since Trump was the target of these assassination attempts, however, the leftwing machine has tried to sweep them under the rug as much as possible.

Indeed, Biden and Harris haven’t been held accountable at all for a wannabe Trump assassin using their “rhetoric” in justifying his horrific deed.

Much to Routh’s dismay, however, Trump is now heading back to the White House after winning the presidential election. He defeated Harris handily in both the Electoral College and the popular vote. That makes this win just about as democratic as it can get.

In the end, Trump didn’t need to be a dictator to get back in power. Instead, the American people voted him back in themselves. Enjoy spending the rest of your days in prison, Mr. Routh!
