Ryan Routh, suspect in the second failed Trump assassination, spent about 12 hours camped outside the former president's golf club in West Palm Beach before his arrest.

The suspect in the second failed Trump assassination attempt, Ryan Routh, may have relied on 'poor man's surveillance' to target the 45th president as he waited about 12 hours outside the golf club before his arrest on Sunday. Bill Stanton, a former NYPD officer and an executive protection expert, spoke with Fox News Digital on Tuesday regarding security failures surrounding the second attempt on Trump's life.

Trump frequently golfs over holidays and on weekends when he is not on the campaign trail. Left-wing media outlets criticized Trump during his presidency for playing rounds of golf, including keeping running tabs on the number of days he spent on the course and comparing the stats to how often former President Barack Obama frequented the green. Routh's location near the golf course was additionally revealed in a New York Post exclusive this week to be a common paparazzi hang out.
