Donald Trump Meets With Deputies Involved In Assassination Attempt

Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Trump campaigns in Reno

Former President Donald Trump recently met with the Florida sheriff’s deputies who apprehended the suspect involved in an apparent assassination attempt against him. The encounter took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, where he expressed his gratitude towards the law enforcement officers.

The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, was taken into custody by deputies from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office after attempting to flee Trump’s golf course. Routh now faces two gun-related charges in connection with the incident.

A video posted by Trump campaign spokeswoman Margo Martin captured the moment when Trump greeted the deputies and commended them for their swift actions. In the video, Trump can be heard thanking the officers and acknowledging their professionalism.

During the meeting, Trump personally shook hands with each deputy and praised them, referring to them as 'good-looking human beings.' The deputies were responsible for activating a traffic stop on I-95 that led to Routh's apprehension.

Trump's interaction with the law enforcement officers showcased his appreciation for their efforts in ensuring his safety. The incident serves as a reminder of the risks faced by public figures and the crucial role played by law enforcement in maintaining security.
