Man vs Trump: Beatdown or Golf Duel, You Choose!
Ryan Wesley Routh, former construction worker and self-declared legal DIY enthusiast, is defending himself in a trial that kicks off Monday, accused of not one but five crimes including a Florida golf club sniper-scuffle on Trump. Way back last year, Routh allegedly aimed a stealthy rifle sporting a busted serial number at Trump, was gunfire-responded by a Secret Service agent, then made a swift getaway only to be caught like a tourist caught sneaking into a VIP party. He asked Judge Aileen Cannon to let the trial turn into a 'beatdown session' with Trump where loser faces grim fate, but she wisely said no to turning court into WWE. Bonus absurdity: Routh once hailed Trump, then wrote a 2023 self-published book calling him a 'buffoon' and wants to subpoena Palestinian detainees as witnesses. The epic courtroom drama continues with standby lawyers doing the adulting in the background.
