Would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh challenges Trump to golf game in bizarre court filing: ‘he wins he can execute me’

Ryan Wesley Routh, who is accused of laying in wait to assassinate then-candidate Donald Trump at his South Florida golf course this past September, challenged the commander in chief to hit the links in a bizarre one-page court filing

“A roung [sic] of golf with the racist pig, he wins he can execute me, I win I get his job,” wrote Routh, who is representing himself in his federal criminal trial at the end of a bad-tempered motion to exclude prosecutorial evidence.

“sorry [sic] hillbilly Vance,” the filing adds in a parenthetical note.

Routh, 59, also expressed a desire to “beatdown” the president in his unhinged missive.
