WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump wasn’t harmed in Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt as he golfed near his Florida club. But the second attack on his life in barely two months is likely to further unsettle an election cycle already marked by upheaval. The man suspected in the incident camped outside the golf course in West Palm Beach with food and a rifle for nearly 12 hours. Ryan Wesley Routh is accused of lying in wait for the former president before a Secret Service agent opened fire and thwarted the potential attack. Routh previously had a website seeking to raise money and recruit volunteers to go to Ukraine to join the fight against the Russian invasion.
