Time Magazine HUMILIATED After Faulty Reporting About Would-Be Trump Assassin

Time Magazine is reeling Monday after leaving a glaring omission in its coverage of would-be Trump shooter Ryan Wesley Routh: his obvious motive.

The 58-year-old left years of missives plastered across social media before he took a rifle to the Trump International Golf Course on Sunday, aiming it at former President Donald Trump before Secret Service agents intercepted him. In one case, Routh warned his followers that “democracy is on the ballot” in November, a refrain endlessly repeated by Vice President Harris. Federal donation records also show Routh, a Hawaii resident, donating exclusively to Democratic candidates over the years. But none of that mattered to Time, which wrote on X that the gunman has an “unclear political ideology.”

Within hours of its post, Time was quickly ratioed, garnering over 3,000 replies as followers piled on and casual observers jumped in the melee. “TIME ‘trying to find’ Routh’s political ideology,” commented popular influencer Collin Rugg, adding a clip of a blind Sandra Bullock from the horror movie “Birdbox.” Another pointed out that Routh “had a Biden Harris sticker on his truck and he donated to Democrats 20 times.” A community fact-checking note began to appear below the post by late Monday morning, alerting readers to his lengthy statements and financial support of Democratic Party causes.

After Secret Service agents opened fire, Routh fled the chainlink fence at the perimeter of Trump’s Florida golf course and headed for a black Nissan. He was later pulled over without incident. Other users noted that Routh’s personal vehicle was emblazoned with an old Biden-Harris bumper sticker. User Liz Churchill summed up the community’s sentiment. “You’re such LIARS. THIS is why everyone HATES you. We can’t WAIT until you’re BANKRUPT.”

In a self-published online book, Routh writes to the nation of Iran, apologizing for supporting Trump in the past and giving the terrorist-supporting country his permission to kill the former president. “I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake,” Routh wrote. “You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment. No one here in the U.S. seems to have the balls to put natural selection to work,” he added, “or even unnatural selection.”

President Trump, speaking with Fox News on Monday, insisted that Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are complicit in the violence. Lawfare in his criminal trials and heated rhetoric labeling him a “threat to democracy” has come home to roost, he told the outlet. “They do it with a combination of rhetoric and lawsuits they wrap me up in,” Trump said. “These are the things that dangerous fools, like the shooter, listen to — that is the rhetoric they listen to, and the same with the first one.” Harris and Walz, he added, are not the “unity” leaders they purport to be. “They do it with a combination of rhetoric and lawsuits they wrap me up in,” Trump said. “These are the things that dangerous fools, like the shooter, listen to — that is the rhetoric they listen to, and the same with the first one.”
