Man Offers $150,000 to Whoever Assassinates Donald Trump
You’ll Never Believe Who Made This Crazy-Ass Offer
Disgraced former ex-president and 34-time felon Donald Trump has a price on his head: It’s $150,000.
Someone is not a fan of Donald Trump. Though many people cannot stand the racist, bigoted, sexist, criminal former president, there’s a person who took that shit to the next level. A person who was willing to put up $150,000 if someone successfully assassinated the former grifter-in-chief.
It may surprise you when you discover who made this public statement. He’s a well-known person who has been in the news recently. And he’s not having a very good week.
It’s scary as fuck having a contract on your life. Though Trump is personally responsible for much pain, suffering, and even death during his four years in office and the four since then, we don’t condone political violence here in the United States. The last time I checked, it’s not ok to assassinate politicians.
Still, someone felt strongly enough to write a handwritten letter making this offer public and delivering it to another person before he was arrested. Here is a photo of the open letter, a contract on Donald Trump’s life:
A witness who alerted authorities to this letter stated that Ryan Wesley Routh dropped off a box at his home some months before. The box contained a metal pipe, ammo, building materials, four phones, and several letters. The letter pictured above was one of them.
You may remember Routh’s name being in the news recently. He was the man authorities claim sat lying in wait for Donald Trump on September 15th at Trump International Golf Club. He’s reported to have spent up to 12 hours in hiding, waiting for an opportunity to take a clear shot at Trump with an AK-47. He was discovered pointing the long rifle from some bushes and fled before firing a shot.
After being apprehended a short time later and taken into custody, the man who was given Routh’s box found the letter that offered $150,000 to whoever assassinated Trump. Routh must have had some doubts about his ability to complete his objective, as the letter was written months before he failed in his attempt on the former president’s life.
The letter stated, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”
Ryan Wesley Routh continued that Trump “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.” Routh had allegedly taken issue with the Russian/Ukraine war and the fighting between Israel and Hamas. He was so disturbed about it, that he took a trip to Ukraine. He unsuccessfully attempted to be recruited to fight against Russia.
Routh blames Donald Trump for the problems in the Middle East. According to letters the authorities now have in their possession, though he once supported Trump, he now views the former Douchebag-in-Chief as being unfit to lead our nation and a threat to the safety and security of the United States.
Some of his posts online frequently focused on world and US politics. Routh stated that he voted for Donald Trump in 2016 but that the president had become a disappointment. He added, “I will be glad when you are gone.” In a recent self-published book, also addressed the country of Iran, saying: “You are free to assassinate Trump.”
I’ve been a long-time opponent of Trump’s fucked-up racism, bigotry, and willful ignorance. His cult-like appeal to his MAGA followers has created division, chaos, and violence. Even death, due to the mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic, plus the events of January 6th, when he caused an insurrection at the Capitol, attempting to stop the transfer of power to Joe Biden.
This was unsuccessful but led to the deaths of Capitol police officers and Trump supporters participating in the violence.
Routh has been charged with two firearm offenses during the past week after fleeing from Trump’s International Golf Course. Though more serious charges are likely to be brought in this case in light of the new evidence that has been released, as the investigation continues. An open letter offering $150,000 for the successful assassination attempt on Trump is going to be taken as a serious threat that certainly will lead to a shitload of jail time.
Some people doubt that two would-be assassins have failed in their attempts. Conspiracy theories suggest that Trump has orchestrated these false attempts on his life to gain popularity with his voters and fan base. Though certain details about the first and second attempts do seem sketchy, it’s a pretty far-fetched idea that his dumb ass is intelligent enough to put these plans into action.
It’s far more likely that people view him as a serious threat to democracy. When liberty and justice for all seem unlikely and the threat of fascism is real, people throughout history have taken extreme measures to do what they feel is their duty to protect the masses. Of course, it isn’t right to attempt to kill a political opponent or threat, but I understand how some feel that they’re doing what’s right for their country.
Still, we cannot condone political violence or murder. Though Donald Trump puts himself in harm’s way by fanning the flames of racism and bigotry, he should be defeated at the voting booth. And brought to justice for the many sins he’s committed during his time in politics. This needs to happen in a courtroom, not at a political rally or on a golf course.
Taking him out for $150,000 isn’t OK. That’s not the right thing to do. When one side of the political spectrum thinks that this is acceptable, don’t be surprised when the next attempt is against your favored political candidate.
Or the attempts may be made by people from your own party. As has happened twice in the past ten weeks to Donald Trump.

The whole thing stinks. having sympathy for the devil? Didn’t the stones cover that one? I have to be honest my selfish fantasy does not include being peaceful in order to usher in peace. At this point, I am so pissed off at the legal system for not holding this clown to the same standards any of us would be, coupled with the amount of people that died at his hands while he’s diddling around with nonsense, such as Clorox and ivermectin. To watch him humiliate the health professionals that were able and ready to help the public was disgusting. Him getting rid of the preparedness plans that Obama had put in place for exactly the thing that occurred was also awful. I must admit my first reaction when I heard about the first assassination attempt was you’re kidding me this guy shot eight shots and he missed that fat fucker??? let’s be honest here – Robert M. Found plenty of evidence for this guy being a full-blown traitor to our country. The fact that information was destroyed only delayed and prolonged our misery at the hands of this ass clown. The Supreme Court is obviously crooked and unreliable. Everything we place so much value in in terms of ethics and what we should do versus what we know needs to be done, keeps us from taking those moves. But I will not in good conscience pretend that the legal system that we all rely on is in any way working. we watch daily as one legal maneuver after another gets traction and justice is delayed yet again. Over and over and over again. Meanwhile, the perpetrators of these awful crimes know that their game - the legal system game is working for them so that they can continue to play their dirty tricks that threaten us all and spit in our face by letting convicted criminals get a pardon, and by pretending that January 6 was some kind of picnic. I honestly cannot believe that we are in a 50-50 race at this point. There is a mass psychological war going on in this country and we, the people are losing. you are right that one upmanship or eye for an eye is wrongheaded. It is morally wrong. War is hell though, and we must survive to practice our manners.
As much as I loathe the Bloated Yam, I hope nobody takes this offer up.
