The suspect accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course wrote a chilling note months earlier declaring he intended to kill the 45th president, the Justice Department said Monday.

Ryan Wesley Routh allegedly dropped the note, addressed “To the World” off at an unnamed person’s home in the months before the foiled assassination attempt at the West Palm Beach golf course on September 15th

“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job,” the letter reads.

The letter was addressed to “the world” and said Trump had “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.” 

“I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”

Additionally, Routh also had a list of Trump’s upcoming public appearances and had googled a route from Palm Beach, Florida, to Mexico. 

He is set to appear in federal court on Monday for a detention hearing after the attempted assassination on September 15th at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. 

Meanwhile, the Justice Department argued that he should remain locked up as the case moves forward.
