Last Sunday, there was another assassination attempt on Donald Trump, this time at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while the former president was enjoying a last-minute round of golf.
The Secret Service was spying a short distance ahead of President Trump when one of their eagle-eyed agents spotted a rifle barrel protruding from a patch of brush. The agent opened fire, and the suspect, a man named Ryan Wesley Routh, fled in an SUV but was quickly apprehended. He remains in custody.
Former Navy SEAL and Blackwater founder Erik Prince joins Jill Savage on the “Blaze News Tonight” panel to reveal what he believes was another catastrophic failure by the Secret Service.

“Nothing has changed, so it happened again,” Prince said.
“[nobody] It has been reported that he has been “fired by the Secret Service,” but the left's “rhetoric” has not changed.
“The false claim that Donald Trump is Hitler and that he must be removed, that he must be stopped at all costs, that he is a threat to democracy, creates an intellectual problem for left-wing cranks who say, 'I'm going to be the savior of the left, and I'm going to kill Donald Trump,'” Prince said, “and that's exactly what [Routh] I was doing it.”
“He went from being a savior for Afghan refugees to being a hero for Ukraine, and he's been fuelled by vile left-wing rhetoric to fight this final battle,” he explains.
Moreover, “the Secret Service hasn't changed anything since the Butler incident,” Prince said, calling it a classic example of “the definition of insanity” – “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
That's why they say Florida law enforcement should lead the investigation, not the federal government.
“The state of Florida has to lead this investigation. Don't turn him over to the FBI. Preserve his electronic devices. Of course the FBI can interview him, but have state law enforcement present, because I don't believe the Miami field office of the FBI can run this investigation,” Prince told Gill.
“Prior to being appointed to the position, the special agent in charge had to delete his social media history because it was so anti-Trump. And it's the same FBI office that conducted the fake raid on Mar-a-Lago in the documents case. So if you think he's going to honestly investigate a left-wing plot to kill President Trump, no way,” he continued. “Florida. Must Let's stand up and do our part.”
“Do you really think so? [Routh] “Was he there by chance or was he tipped off? Was he tipped off by the Secret Service or local police, HSI? Or is there a mole in the Trump White House or within the Trump administration?” asks Steve Baker, investigative journalist and Blaze Media correspondent.
