Ryan Routh, the would be assassin who tried to take down President Trump and immediately became a walking advertisement for mandatory psychiatric screening, has officially taken his circus act to a new level. And just when you think the guy has hit peak insanity, he somehow finds another rung on the ladder.
Today he filed several court documents so bizarre they read like a mashup of a hostage note, a Reddit meltdown and a middle school dare. The filings are public, so anyone can see the madness themselves. But the highlight reel begins with a subpoena inviting President Trump to show up in court and, I’m not kidding, punch Routh in the face. He literally wrote that Trump could hit him as many times as he wants with no charges because, according to Routh, he knows someone at the DOJ. Sure buddy, that’s exactly how federal law works.
The subpoena also called it the most fun in decades and told Trump not to miss it. This man aimed a rifle at a presidential candidate, and now he’s trying to turn his court hearing into a backyard boxing match. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so deranged.
Attached to that subpoena was an equally unhinged motion where Routh claimed he had no questions for Trump but wanted to offer him an open mic to vent. He then encouraged Judge Cannon to talk about the Supreme Court, suggested certain attorneys be promoted, and again invited Trump to pummel him for good measure. Then he tossed in a don’t be a p***y line like he was auditioning for a bad reality show.
But the layers of crazy kept piling up. Routh issued a batch of expert and character witness subpoenas that are basically fan fiction about affordable housing, Palestinians, Trump as a dictator and how America might have to remove a fascist president from the White House in 2029. He demanded witnesses bring their American honor and morals as documents, insisted they explain the Gaza war, the JCPOA, the Abraham Accords and even Harvard’s role in suppressing Palestinian voices. It reads like someone fed Twitter conspiracy threads into a blender and hit purée.
The reality is simple. Routh is not a political mastermind. He is a profoundly unstable man who tried to kill President Trump and is now using court filings as therapy journals. His legal strategy appears to be chaos mixed with delusion, with a side of political rambling.
If there was ever a clearer reminder that this guy belongs in a secure facility rather than on the streets, these filings are it.
