Ryan Routh, the accused would-be assassin of President Donald Trump, challenged the president to a round of golf with deadly consequences in a bizarre court filing on Tuesday.
Routh wore a blue jumpsuit, black reading glasses and was shackled at his wrists and ankles when he appeared in federal court in Ft. Pierce, Florida, for his final pre-trial hearing on Tuesday.
Representing himself in the case, Routh submitted three filings to the court, all of which were filled with unusual sentiments and riddles with typos. In one filing, he asked for access to female strippers and a putting green, suggesting that he and Trump play a round of golf.
"A roung [sic] of golf with the racist pig, he wins he can execute me, I win I get his job," Routh wrote, referring to the president.
Routh also suggested that he could fight Trump.
"I think a beatdown session would be more fun and entertaining f or [sic] everyone; give me shackles and cuffs and let the old fat man give it his worst," he wrote.
