This is the view to a near-assassination

Exclusive images show how close Ryan Wesley Routh would have been to former President Donald Trump from his sniper’s nest off the 6th hole at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach Sunday afternoon.

Had a Secret Service agent on advance patrol not spotted the barrel of Routh’s rifle protruding from the bushes, the 58-year-old from Hawaii would have been no more than 90 yards (270 feet) from the 45th president and his playing partners as they putted out on the green.

Had Routh waited for Trump, 78, to use the cart path, the would-be assassin would have been even closer to his target — fewer than 50 feet away.

Routh fled the property after being shot at by the advance agent, but was arrested following a traffic stop on Interstate 95 in neighboring Martin County.

The would-be assassin was arraigned Monday on two federal gun charges and remanded into custody until his next court date, set for Sept. 23.
