Security incidents involving Donald Trump

1 week ago - On September 15, 2024, Ryan Wesley Routh was sighted wielding a rifle in bushes at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while Donald Trump was golfing at the club. A Secret Service officer shot at Routh, who fled, and was apprehended while driving away. The FBI was investigating it as an assassination attempt. Authorities later confirmed that Routh did wish to kill the former president. An indictment on April 7, 2025, revealed that Routh was planning the assassination attempt as early as February 2024 with an accomplice who called himself "Ramiro", who lived in Mexico.

1 day ago - The conspiracy theory that some people had foreknowledge is based on behavior on July 12, 2024, the day before the assassination attempt, when the investment company Austin Private Wealth filed a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating that it had shorted 12 million shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (ticker symbol DJT), thus betting that the stock's price would decrease. Four days later, the filing was amended to 1,200 shares, and the company apologized for what it called a "filing error". Conspiracies claiming the FBI was involved in the assassination attempt circulated on social media after the shooting. In November 2025, though the FBI had claimed Crooks had no online footprint, independent investigators uncovered some of Crooks's social media.
