Ryan Routh, unrepentant and with prior felonies, was convicted and sentenced to life plus seven years for attempting to assassinate Trump at a Florida golf course in 2024.
- In Fort Pierce on 2026-02-04, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon sentenced Ryan Routh to life for attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club in 2024.
- Prosecutors say Routh plotted for months, including tracking Trump online and leaving a `Dear World` letter with a $150,000 offer, and investigators found a box with ammunition, four cellphones, and handwritten letters in North Carolina.
- During a security sweep, Secret Service agent Robert Fercano spotted Routh hiding by a fence at Trump International Golf Club sixth hole, fired four shots, and Routh fled leaving an assault-style rifle, bullet-proof plates, and a video camera.

- Prosecutors called the plot `carefully crafted and deadly serious`, and Assistant U.S. Attorney John Shipley warned, `American democracy does not work when individuals take it into their own hands to eliminate candidates.
