Suspect arrested after new Trump assassination attempt
Reuters Videos2 hours agoSTORY: Former U.S. President Donald Trump is safe after shots were fired at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, in what the FBI says was another assassination attempt. Officials say Secret Service agents spotted a rifle barrel poking out of the bushes as they were clearing holes on the course ahead of Trump, then fired on a gunman near the property line, only a few hundred yards from where the former president was playing. Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw says a witness manages to take pictures of the suspect fleeing in black Nissan. :: X/@dannyspitin “So, we had that information, our real time crime center put it out to the license plate readers, and we were able to get a hit on that vehicle on I-95 as it was headed into Martin County. We got a hold of Martin County Sheriff's Office, alerted them and they spotted the vehicle and pulled it over." Bradshaw said officers found an AK-47 style rifle, two backpacks and a GoPro camera at the scene. He also said a person was in custody. It was not clear if or how the suspect knew Trump was playing golf at the time. CNN, Fox News and The New York Times identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, of Hawaii, citing unnamed law enforcement officials. Reuters found social media posts that matched the man identified by those media outlets on LinkedIn, Facebook and X. By Sunday night, Reuters was not able to confirm these were the suspect's accounts and law enforcement agencies declined to comment. However, public access to the Facebook and X profiles was removed hours after the shooting. The three accounts bearing Routh's name suggest he was an avid supporter of Ukraine in its war against Russia. In several of the posts, he appeared to be trying to help recruit soldiers for Ukraine's war effort. Trump sent an email after the incident to supporters, seen by Reuters, saying that he was safe. The former president was injured in July by an earlier assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, raising questions about protection for candidates just months ahead of the Nov. 5 election. The first shooting of a U.S. president or major party presidential candidate in more than four decades was a glaring security lapse that forced Kimberly Cheatle to resign as Secret Service director under bipartisan congressional pressure.

- 1:28Trump pledges to deport Haitians in Ohio city if electedReuters VideosSTORY: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pledged to conduct mass deportations of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio on Friday (September 13), even though the majority of them are in the United States legally. "I can say this, we will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio." The city has been at the center of a social media maelstrom after right-wing agitators latched on to false claims that Haitian arrivals were eating household pets. The majority of the 15,000 Haitians in Springfield are there legally. Trump's longstanding pledge to conduct mass deportations usually refers to those in the country illegally. He did not repeat the assertion he made during Tuesday's presidential debate with Democrat Kamala Harris that immigrants were eating dogs and cats. Those remarks have been widely mocked. President Joe Biden at the White House on Friday addressed the issue directly. "A community that's under attack in our country right now. It's simply wrong. There's no place in America. This has to stop - what he's doing. It has to stop." Haitian community leaders across the U.S. have said Trump's remarks could put lives at risk and further inflame tensions in Springfield. Thousands of recent Haitian arrivals there have boosted the local economy but also strained the social safety net. City officials say they have received no credible reports of anybody eating household animals.2 days ago

- 0:55Trump courts voters with tax relief promises in Las Vegas rallyReuters VideosSTORY: :: September 13, 2024 :: Las Vegas, Nevada :: At a rally, Trump pledges to cut federal taxes on Social Security income, overtime, and tips “And when I'm back in that beautiful White House, we will pass larger tax cuts for workers. And we have a special tax that here is going to do, I think, quite well. It's called no tax on tips. No tax. No tax on tips.” “And we will have no tax on Social Security benefits for our seniors.“ “And then we wheeled out a great one. And I actually think this is going to be fantastic for the country as well as the worker, because a lot of people are going to be working overtime. And just yesterday, I announced that there will be no taxes on overtime.” Trump emphasized these tax cuts as a means of easing financial burdens on retirees and service industry workers, crucial in Nevada's hospitality-driven economy. He framed these proposals as part of his "America First" agenda, aiming to bolster domestic financial independence. Trump’s "No Tax on Tips" policy resonated with the crowd, particularly in a state where the hospitality industry plays a significant role. The rally, held under the bright lights of Las Vegas, was part of Trump’s push to win over battleground states, especially appealing to middle-class voters and the growing Latino electorate in Nevada.2 days ago

Instead, it was the same old show, the same tired playbook we've heard for years with no plan, no plan on how he would address the needs of the American people. Well, folks, it's time to turn the page. Just turn the page.” “Someone who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States of America, should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States. Never again.” Harris made several jabs toward the former U.S. President and Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, who she debated on Tuesday (September 10) at a high-stakes debate hosted by ABC News.
