Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been identified as the man who was arrested in the
assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. The suspect called Mr. Trump a threat to democracy. On his X account, his bio says he feels “lucky to have been born in America, with freedom and opportunity and hope that I do not waste such a valuable thing; to do more and take less.” He frequently derided Mr. Trump and described the 2024 election as a referendum on democracy — one of the central claims of President Biden and Kamala Harris.
