A Florida man, Ryan Wesley Routh, has been sentenced to life in federal prison for his attempted assassination of Donald Trump in September 2024 at the Trump International Golf Club. Routh was convicted on all five counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.

• Ryan Wesley Routh received a life sentence plus 84 months in federal prison.
• The attempt involved Routh hiding in the fence line with a Norinco SKS rifle, loaded with 19 rounds in the magazine and an additional round in the chamber, and a scope, near where Trump was scheduled to play golf.
• A handwritten letter from Routh, left in April 2024, explicitly referred to the act as a deliberate assassination attempt, stating, "Dear World, this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you."
