A tweet by Mario Nawfal on X: "TRUMP'S GOLF OUTING WAS SPONTANEOUS, RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT SUSPECT'S TIMING

In a significant development, CNN reports that Trump's golf game on Sunday was an impromptu decision. According to two sources familiar with the matter, the outing was a last-minute addition to Trump's schedule, which originally had no public events planned for the day. This revelation adds a puzzling layer to the alleged assassination attempt. It raises critical questions about how the suspect, identified by as Ryan Wesley Routh, could have known Trump would be on the course at that specific time. The spontaneous nature of Trump's golf outing contradicts earlier speculations about the suspect's "high degree of planning," as suggested by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
