While many Republican supporters have linked him to the Democratic Party, claiming his social media was filled with anti-Trump rhetoric, others argue that his political stance is more nuanced.
Ryan Routh, arrested for attempting to assassinate Trump, initially supported him in 2016 but later expressed disillusionment.
Routh reportedly voted for Trump in the past and made donations to various political figures, including Tulsi Gabbard, Andrew Yang, and even Republicans like Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Ryan Routh supported Republican leaders
"It's hard to categorize him politically," a social media user commented on a post featuring snapshots from Ryan Routh’s Facebook and X accounts before they were suspended, suggesting that Routh’s political views were more complex than initially thought.
The would-be Trump assassin had previously supported Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy, who launched his 2024 presidential bid and sought to position himself as the next Trump. However, Ramaswamy later suspended his campaign following a disappointing finish in the Iowa caucuses and endorsed Trump.
