Ryan Wesley Routh was rejected as ''wack job'' in Ukraine: sources
[NYPOST] Alleged would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh rolled up in Ukraine last year looking to fight the Russians and make an impact — but was quickly rejected and pushed aside after being dubbed a ''wack job'' and ''off'' by the more serious imported muscle in the country, several sources involved in the volunteer effort said.

While some had interacted with him personally, others told The Post they knew his ''type'' and were ''not at all surprised by it.''

''A crazy idiot, but no one's really surprised. There are people like that that show up and are desperate to help and be important,'' one American fighting for Ukraine told The Post. ''And he was just one of those — just on the crazier end of things.''

The American fighters and volunteers who spoke to The Post requested anonymity for fear of Russian doxxing.

Routh, 58, had no military experience, but traveled to Ukraine around March 2023 thinking he could help out in the war effort, anyway.
How easy was that for a fringe asset useful idiot?
