The man suspected of trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump laughed and smiled during his first court appearance on Monday morning.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly attempted to kill Trump with an AK-47-style rifle with a scope. He reportedly hid in bushes at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach and was about 400 yards away from Trump when Secret Service spotted the rifle and opened fire.

Cameras were not allowed inside the courthouse, but Fox News confirmed Monday that Routh repeatedly smiled and laughed during a conversation with his court-appointed lawyer before the hearing started.

Another reporter permitted into the courthouse, Brooke Chau, posted, “Routh had slicked back dirty blonde hair, a stoic look, he stared at reporters and was handcuffed wearing a navy blue jumpsuit.”

During his appearance, Routh said he makes about $3,000 a month but has no savings or assets aside from two trucks he has back in Hawaii. The suspect also said he sometimes supports his son.

The hearing before Magistrate Judge Ryon M. McCabe only lasted eight minutes.

Routh, who is reportedly a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal history, was charged with two counts: possessing a firearm while being a convicted felon, and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number, CNN correspondent Dianne Gallagher reported.

The first charge carries up to 15 years of prison time, with a possible five-year sentence for the second charge, ABC 11 notes.

Trump on Sunday responded to the attack — which marked the second attempt on his life in just nine weeks.

“There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!,” Trump said. “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.”

Routh has a bond hearing set for September 23. The suspect will be formally arraigned at the end of the month.

The son of the alleged would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump suggested Sunday that his father was trying to be a “martyr” by trying to kill Trump, whom the man said is hated by “every reasonable person.”

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly attempted to kill Trump with an AK-47-style rifle with a scope. He reportedly hid in bushes at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach and was about 400 yards away from Trump when Secret Service spotted the rifle and opened fire. Routh is currently in custody.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Oran Routh, 35, said his father hates Trump, as “every reasonable person does,” adding, “I don’t like Trump either.”

“I hate this game every four years, and think that we all do, and if my father wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that’s his choice,” Oran added, seeming to justify his father’s alleged plot to kill Trump.

“I’m not saying that’s what he’s done or what he’s about, that’s just my own rant being fed up with it all for my entire adult life,” he continued.

“South Park said it best, every 4 years we’re forced to choose between a turd sandwich and a giant d*****, and it all stays f***ed in the same ways by different degrees, and we’re exhausted and embarrassed by it all,” Oran said.

He noted that he’s not in contact with his father much since the two had a “falling out,” but did not elaborate on the tiff.

Oran also said his dad is not a “violent person” and that he didn’t believe he owned a gun. “I’ve never known him to own a gun or known him to do anything bats*** like this,” he said.

Trump responded to the attack on Sunday, telling supporters that he is “safe and well” and would “never surrender. ”

“There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!,” Trump said. “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.”
