There are many questions circulating about the second assassination attempt of Donald Trump in two months. Yet one that will particularly set conspiracy theorists abuzz is whether Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged suspect in West Palm Beach, made meaningful contact with any foreign governments.
Social media is already lit up with people comparing 58-year-old Routh to Lee Harvey Oswald, who at one point defected to the Soviet Union, met with Soviet officials at the embassy in Mexico shortly before the shooting of President John F. Kennedy, and allegedly mingled with Cuban intelligence. These facts are highly credible, but are often used by less credible members of the tinfoil hat brigade in colourful ways.
