Meanwhile, a second assassination attempt on Trump in two months has sparked more questions for the Secret Service after suspect Ryan Wesley Routh was charged.

Prosecutors revealed on Monday that Routh could have been hiding in the bushes of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach for 12 hours before allegedly pointing his SKS-style rifle at the former president.

The man arrested in an apparent attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course over the weekend pulled no punches about his ill-will for the GOP candidate in the hours after the former president was grazed by an assassin's bullet at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July.

Ryan Routh, who was arrested shortly after secret service discovered him lurking with a rifle in bushes on the perimiter of Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach Sunday, tweeted on X after the July 13 attempt on Trumps life pressing President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to visit the victims of the assassination attempt, saying: Trump will never do anything for them.

Show the world what compassion and humanity is all about, Routh posted on July 16, according to multiple reports.

Routh, who wrote a book last year titled Ukraine’s Unwinnable War, in which he referred to Trump as a fool, idiot and buffoon, was also know to tag world leaders and celebrities like Elton John and Elon Musk in his posts, often providing his phone number and email.

Secret Service investigating Elon Musk's shocking response to Trump assassination attempt

The Secret Service has launched an investigation into Elon Musk’s tweet questioning why President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris weren’t also being targeted by assassination attempts.

Musk posted the comments on his X platform Sunday after former President Donald Trump was the target of a second assassination attempt as he golfed in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Responding to a post that asked: Why they want to kill Donald Trump?, Musk - who is backing Trump - provocatively remarked: And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden or Kamala.

The Secret Service confirmed it is aware of the post, and that it investigates all threats related to protectees.

Hillary Clinton says she got 'teary-eyed' when Trump got convicted

Hillary Clinton confessed Monday that she got teary-eyed when former President Donald Trump got convicted in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

In a sit-down with Katie Couric at Washington, D.C.s DAR Constitutional Hall, Clinton also hammered her ex-rival for blaming Democrats earlier Monday for the second attempt on his life.

Clinton is doing the rounds to promote her new book, Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty, which will be released Tuesday.

If he were really a leader, he should be doing what he can to calm the waters, Clinton said. Not try to just continue to throw red meat out there to get people riled up.

The former Democratic nominee was reacting to the assassination attempt and then Trumps subsequent tweet in which he claimed Comrade Kamala Harris and the ridiculous lawsuits on the ex-president were responsible.

Trump returns to the campaign trail after another assassination scare

Donald Trump hits the campaign trail again on Tuesday, traveling to Michigan two days after an apparent assassination attempt against him was foiled at his golf course in Florida.

His Democratic rival Kamala Harris will also be campaigning, as she heads to the key battleground state of Pennsylvania for an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ).

That event and another interview with Hispanic media, recorded Monday and set to air Tuesday, will be the first time Harris will have an opportunity to react in-person to the apparent bid on Trumps life.

The Republican nominee and ex-president was whisked away by the Secret Service after a gunman was discovered on his golf course in Florida on Sunday, in the second such close call for Trump in as many months.

Russia is 'fully ready' to detonate a nuclear bomb in the Arctic 'any moment', it is revealed as Putin is urged to use apocalyptic explosion to threaten the West

Russia is fully ready to detonate a nuclear bomb in the Arctic at any moment, it was revealed today as Vladimir Putin presses on with drills unseen since the Cold War.

The director of an old Soviet test site first in the Novaya Zelmlya archipelago insisted that testing facilities are ready and can be used immediately if the order is given.

Rear Admiral Andrei Sinitsyn said: The test site is ready to resume full-scale testing activities... The laboratory and testing facilities are ready. The personnel are ready.

Sinitsyn claimed foreign intelligence was monitoring the site, likely sign of a concern over nuclear tests, speaking to the state-owned Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

We are constantly ready to repel all types of threats, including the penetration of sabotage and reconnaissance groups onto the island, he said.

Laura Loomer, 31, furiously denies having an affair with Trump after their cozy relationship sparked MAGA meltdown

Laura Loomer has furiously denied having an affair with former President Donald Trump - and made a bombshell claim about Kamala Harris.

The 31-year-old conspiracy theorist used her podcast to slam rumors shes in a romantic relationship with Trump, 78, as malicious and disrespectful to Donald Trump and Melania Trump.

She then framed the rumors as a media conspiracy, saying on Saturday: Theyve taken it so far, and you know if I was a leftist journalist, if I was a Democrat, oh my God, the media would be up in arms if the Republican media was doing this to a left-wing journalist.

Oh my God, theyre misogynist, theyre bullying a woman, theyre trying to Monica Lewinsky her, theyre trying to discredit the fact that shes a working woman, Loomer claimed the media would say.

But things took a turn when she accused Vice President Kamala Harris of sleeping with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown to become deputy district attorney and ultimately the District Attorney for Alameda County.

Exclusive:Kamala Harris takes the lead over Donald Trump in the 2024 race after strong debate performance

Vice President Kamala Harris has taken the lead over Donald Trump in our DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners poll for the first time following her strong debate performance last week.

But there is still everything to play for with just 49 days until the election.

Harris now holds a one-point lead over the former president in our poll of 1,000 likely voters conducted in the week after the candidates went head to head on the debate stage in Pennsylvania.

Harris is the choice of 43 percent of voters (up two points since our last poll on August 13) while Trump is favored by 42 percent (down two points).

The shift appears to be driven by huge changes among Hispanic voters.
