The New York Post reported that 58-year-old Ryan Routh, originally from Hawaii, tried to get a shot at the GOP presidential candidate on Sunday afternoon at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The report stated that Routh managed to get between 300 and 500 yards from Trump while positioned behind a chain link fence with an AK-47 and a GoPro camera set up to record the intended shooting. It was noted that a Secret Service agent spotted him and opened fire as he attempted to shoot through the fence; Routh then fled but was arrested shortly after on I-95.<\/p>\n<p>Conspiracy theories quickly circulated online, particularly from liberal accounts suggesting that Routh was affiliated with Republicans and implying it might be some sort of &#8220;false flag&#8221; operation. Some users pointed out his past support for Trump in 2016 and his apparent backing of other Republican candidates for the upcoming election.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are conflicting narratives about Routh&#8217;s political affiliations. His son claimed in an interview with the U.K. Daily Mail that his father despises Donald Trump like &#8220;every reasonable person,&#8221; expressing disbelief upon learning about his father&#8217;s actions.
