Ryan Routh, the 59-year-old who plotted to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course, was found guilty Tuesday on all five federal counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and firearms offenses.

As the verdict echoed through the courtroom, Routh’s desperation erupted — he seized a pen and tried to stab himself in the neck, a cowardly bid to escape a lifetime behind bars.

Four U.S. Marshals reportedly swiftly restrained him, ensuring he faced the consequences of his evil intent.

The two-week trial in Fort Pierce laid bare Routh’s chilling obsession. Prosecutors presented damning evidence: 17 reconnaissance trips to Trump’s golf course, a SKS rifle with 19 rounds — one chambered — left in a sniper’s nest where Routh hid for 10 hours.

Forensic experts tied his fingerprints to the scope, his DNA to the rifle, gloves, and a bag.

Digital records exposed his stalking — flight-tracking, texts about Trump’s rallies, and license-plate reader hits on his black Nissan Xterra.

A manifesto titled "Dear World," offering $150,000 to "complete the job," sealed his intent.

"This was not a publicity stunt," Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Browne told jurors. "The evidence has shown one thing and one thing only — the defendant wanted Donald Trump dead."

Routh, representing himself, offered a feeble defense, claiming no intent to kill since he never fired.

"No one ever intended to kill anyone," he stammered in a disjointed closing. "The rifle was never picked up from its resting place."

Jurors weren’t swayed, deliberating hours before delivering justice.

His daughter, Sara Routh, erupted as the verdict landed, "Don’t do anything. I will get you out. What the f—, f—, he didn’t hurt anybody. This is not fair. This is all rigged—you guys are a--holes."

President Trump hailed the verdict on Truth Social:

Congratulations to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and the entire DOJ team on the conviction, in Florida, of the person who attempted an assassination on my life. The trial was meticulously handled, and I would like to thank the Judge and Jury for their time, professionalism, and patience. This was an evil man with an evil intention, and they caught him. I would also like to thank the Secret Service, Department of Florida Law Enforcement, and the wonderful person who spotted him running from the site of the crime, and acted by following him, and getting all information on car type and license plate to the Sheriff’s Office, IMMEDIATELY, which led to his arrest and conviction. What incredible instinct and foresight this person had—A very big moment for JUSTICE IN AMERICA!

Attorney General Pam Bondi underscored the stakes.

"Today’s guilty verdict against would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh illustrates the Department of Justice’s commitment to punishing those who engage in political violence," Bondi wrote on X. "This attempted assassination was not only an attack on our President, but an affront to our very nation itself."

The specter of violence looms large, yet the system held firm.
