An expert believes that Ryan Routh's "poor man's surveillance" was sufficient to identify a location to target Trump.

Ryan Routh, the suspect in the second failed Trump assassination attempt, may have used "poor man's surveillance" to target the 45th president while waiting outside the golf club for 12 hours before his arrest on Sunday.

On Tuesday, Bill Stanton, a former NYPD officer and an executive protection expert, spoke with Planet Chronicle Digital about security failures surrounding the second attempt on Trump's life. Stanton said that the suspect may have used a "Forrest Gump focus" to stake out a location by Googling Trump's frequent non-campaign activities.

Stanton stated that if someone possessed a Forrest Gump-like focus, they could have easily conducted a journeyman's research on Google. He then simply searched for "Where does Trump usually go when he's home in Florida?" before heading to Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach.

Stanton stated that if he were the suspect, he would monitor Trump's caravan and conduct a low-cost surveillance.

Stanton stated that Routh could have predicted the presence of four vehicles in the motorcade, including the main car, chase car, advance car, and Trump's lead car.

On Sunday afternoon, it was reported that Trump had been escorted from his golf club after gunfire was reported near him. Despite being in the vicinity of the gunfire, Trump was not injured. The suspect, a 58-year-old man from Hawaii, Ryan Wesley Routh, is being investigated as the possible perpetrator of the assassination attempt.

On Monday, federal authorities released charging documents related to Routh's charges resulting from the suspected assassination attempt. They discovered that Routh's phone was near the golf club for approximately 12 hours, from 1:59 a.m. Sunday until about 1:31 p.m. that same day.

On an emergency basis, T-Mobile was requested by law enforcement agents to provide information about Routh's mobile phone usage. The records showed that Routh's phone was near the tree line in the area from 1:59 AM to 1:31 PM on September 15.

On Sunday, at approximately 1:30 p.m., Routh was arrested after he allegedly aimed an AK-47-style rifle at Trump while the president was playing golf. The U.S. Secret Service, which was protecting Trump on the golf course, noticed the rifle's muzzle and fired at the suspect.

Trump's love of golf has been well documented across his political career, even though there is no confirmation from authorities on how Routh knew his whereabouts.

Trump often plays golf on weekends and holidays when not campaigning, which has been criticized by left-wing media outlets who track his golfing activities and compare them to Obama's.

The New York Post revealed that Routh's location near the golf course is a popular spot for paparazzi.

Stanton stated that while every individual is a creature of habit, it is the responsibility of the Secret Service to adapt to Trump's schedule.

Stanton, the author of "Prepared Not Scared," stated that it is not the former President Trump's place to be told what he can and cannot do, but rather the Secret Service's responsibility to accommodate his will and travels. The dog, not the tail, wags the dog.

Stanton stated that we are all creatures of habit, especially when we are in our homes. We believe we are not, but in reality, we behave similarly to how Google predicts outcomes. We get our coffee, go to the gym, and so on. However, with Trump, things are different as he is unpredictable and all over the place.

On Monday, Trump accused Democrats, specifically President Biden and Vice President Harris, of promoting the rhetoric that led to the attempt on his life on Sunday.

"Trump stated in an interview that the suspect was influenced by Biden and Harris's rhetoric and took action based on it. Trump added that their words were causing him to be targeted with violence, despite his efforts to save the country, while Biden and Harris were destroying it from within and without."

Trump stated that "the enemy from within" is the real threat.

Stanton stated in a comment on Fox Digital that the US is facing a "perfect storm of heightened political rhetoric" that can lead to "self-radicalization."

""These keyboard warriors are like a drug, spewing hate and venom online. They become lost in their own psychosis and when it's not enough, they bring their cyber world into the real world," he said."

Stanton stated that the attempt could have resulted in a catastrophic outcome if it had been executed by skilled professionals or a "super villain" who could have come closer to Trump and inflicted a devastating blow against the 45th president.

Stanton warned that despite being mentally ill and essentially a "loser," this individual was able to get close to 100 yards. He urged people to consider the power of an organized team of two or three.

The security expert recommended that Trump receive the highest level of security, but not full presidential protection, as that would require halting air traffic and closing significant highways.

Stanton remarked, "Despite seeing trillions of dollars being spent, you're telling me you can't allocate additional resources to someone who has already been targeted?"

Trump's national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, stated on Planet Chronicle Digital that the 45th president has frequently requested more government protection, while expressing appreciation for the agents who safeguarded him on Sunday.

"President Trump expressed gratitude to his USSS detail for their quick and brave actions during another assassination attempt. He has consistently requested additional resources to safeguard himself," she stated.

On Sunday evening, Planet Chronicle Digital examined Routh's probable social media accounts and discovered that he frequently posted about Trump, the conflict in Ukraine, the 2020 election, and the assassination attempt against Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July.

Routh suggested that Biden and Harris visit the injured people from the Trump rally and attend the funeral of the murdered fireman, and show the world what compassion and humanity is all about. Trump, on the other hand, will never do anything for them.

In a previous post on April 22, Routh stated, "Democracy is at stake and we cannot afford to lose."

Your campaign should be named something like KADAF. Preserve America's democracy and freedom. Trump's policies should be MASA...make Americans slaves again, master. Democracy is at stake and we cannot afford to lose. The world is counting on us to lead the way.

During the 2020 election cycle, Routh initially declared that Trump was his "choice" in 2016, but later backtracked.

The FBI and Palm Beach Sheriff's Office were contacted by Planet Chronicle Digital for information on how Routh knew Trump would hit the course on Sunday, but no replies were immediately received. The Secret Service directed Fox Digital to the FBI when asked the same question.

On Sunday afternoon, a BOLO alert was issued to law enforcement agencies, resulting in the arrest of Routh in his car on I-95.

On Monday morning, Routh was escorted to federal court and appeared cheerful before his initial hearing in the case.

He may face additional charges for possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number, in addition to charges of possessing a firearm by a convicted felon, authorities said.

On Sept. 30, Routh will be arraigned and on Sept. 23, he will have a bond hearing.
