<p>The son of the alleged would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump suggested Sunday that his father was trying to be a &#8220;martyr&#8221; by trying to kill Trump, whom the man said is hated by &#8220;every reasonable person.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly attempted to kill Trump with an AK-47-style rifle with a scope. He reportedly hid in bushes at Trump&#8217;s golf club in West Palm Beach and was about 400 yards away from Trump when Secret Service spotted the rifle and opened fire. Routh is currently in custody.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;I hate this game every four years, and think that we all do, and if my father wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that&#8217;s his choice,&#8221; Oran added, seeming to justify his father&#8217;s alleged plot to kill Trump.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying that&#8217;s what he&#8217;s done or what he&#8217;s about, that&#8217;s just my own rant being fed up with it all for my entire adult life,&#8221; he continued.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;South Park said it best, every 4 years we&#8217;re forced to choose between a turd sandwich and a giant d*****, and it all stays f***ed in the same ways by different degrees, and we&#8217;re exhausted and embarrassed by it all,&#8221; Oran said.</p>

<p>He noted that he&#8217;s not in contact with his father much since the two had a &#8220;falling out,&#8221; but did not elaborate on the tiff.</p>
<p>Oran also said his dad is not a &#8220;violent person&#8221; and that he didn&#8217;t believe he owned a gun. &#8220;I’ve never known him to own a gun or known him to do anything bats*** like this,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Trump responded to the attack on Sunday, telling supporters that he is &#8220;safe and well&#8221; and would &#8220;never surrender. &#8221;</p>
<p>“There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.”</p>

<p class="component article-body-text " data-test="article-body-text">The alleged scheme on Sunday marks the second assassination attempt on Trump&#8217;s life in just nine weeks. During a political rally in Butler, PA, Trump escaped death or serious injury when he turned his head a split second before he was shot in the ear by another would-be assassin. A Trump supporter at the rally was tragically killed in the attack.</p>
