Ryan Routh, a 59-year-old man, has been sentenced to life in prison for attempting to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, in 2024. According to Pakistan Today, Routh was convicted last September on multiple charges, including attempted assassination, after representing himself in court. The incident occurred just two months before the 2024 presidential election, and prosecutors argued that Routh had meticulously planned the attack, tracking Trump's movements and preparing to kill anyone who obstructed his plan. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who presided over the case, handed down the life sentence, stating, 'It’s clear to me that you engaged in a premeditated, calculated plot to take a human life' (The Guardian). Routh was also sentenced to an additional seven years for a firearm offense (NBC News World).
