THE suspect behind Donald Trump's second assassination attempt has been unmasked as a pro-Ukraine activist.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested by cops in Florida after Secret Service agents saw a rifle poking out of bushes at Trump's West Palm Beach golf club.

It comes almost exactly two months after Trump was shot in the ear by a gunman in Pennsylvania on July 13.

On Sunday, the ex-US president, 78, was rushed to safety as Secret Service agents opened fire on a gunman brandishing an AK-47 in nearby bushes.

Trump was playing a round of golf when the agents spotted someone they suspected of aiming the weapon from nearby bushes.

The would-be assassin - who managed to get within 400-500 yards of Trump - attempted to flee the scene in an SUV but was caught by officials and taken into custody.
