Florida Man Busted by Secret Service and Local Authorities After Posting a Shocking Threat Against President Trump During Wild Social Media Rant

The United States government and the state of Florida are not messing around when it comes to demented individuals threatening the life of President Trump.

As WPBF reported, a 42-year-old Florida man from St. Lucie County was busted by both the Secret Service and sheriff’s deputies on Monday afternoon after posting a disturbing threat against Trump on social media during a wild social media rant.

Kendal Aaron Todd began his 80-second tirade by making a series of confusing accusations against Trump, including calling him the “Antichrist.”

“Because of Donald Trump, every single person in the world is cursed,” Todd begins. “Donald Trump is the Antichrist.”

“Donald Trump has personally made business decisions which have hurt so many different reincarnated Jesuses,” he adds.

Todd goes on to issue this shocking threat against the president, which calls his mental health further into question.

“Fight me naked to the death!” Todd said. “I’m going to cut you up with a chainsaw and put you in acid.”

Trump ENDS Secret Service protection for Biden children after learning of ‘ridiculous’ cost to taxpayers

President Donald Trump removed Hunter and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service detail, citing Hunter’s recent trip to South Africa as the reason. 

Joe Biden gave his children six months of Secret Service protection after he left office. It’s not an unusual move by a president. Trump gave his children six months of protection after his first term.

But Trump blasted Biden’s son for going to South Africa and taking his detail, citing the high cost to the U.S. taxpayer. Hunter’s wife Melissa Cohen is originally from South Africa. 

The president’s announcement came hours after a reporter asked Trump about Hunter’s detail. The president said he had not been aware of it but would look into it. 

‘Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Hunter Biden fled to ‘ultra-luxurious’ vacation in South Africa with round-the-clock Secret Service protection — avoiding grueling deposition

Hunter Biden fled last week to South Africa for a luxury vacation — with round-the-clock Secret Service protection — avoiding a grueling deposition scheduled for this week in a California lawsuit.

California District Court Judge Herman Vera granted Hunter’s motion to dismiss the case Thursday after the former first son claimed he was too broke to continue suing former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo.

But photographs show Hunter was already in Cape Town the day the case was dismissed, staying in a $500-a-night beachfront villa described on its website as an “ultra-luxurious designer home with spectacular 180 degrees unobstructed views of the sea.”

Ziegler’s lawyers alleged to the court last week that Hunter had fled to South Africa to potentially “avoid his deposition in this case,” which was set for this week, after originally being planned for February.

“He was in South Africa before the judge even decided the case,” Ziegler said Friday. “That means he is assuming his daddy’s appointee is gonna rubber stamp what he wants.”

Secret Service Team Shoots Armed Man During Confrontation Outside The White House

A gunman was shot outside the White House on Saturday night.

The Daily Mail reported that the individual, who was from Indiana, was walking around the streets with a firearm after parking his vehicle on 17th and G Streets. The incident reportedly took place just after midnight.

Thankfully, President Trump was in Mar-A-Lago at the time where he is spending his weekend. He is expected to leave at 5 p.. ET and return to the White House.

Secret Service agents revealed the man appeared to be suicidal. Once he started waving around his weapon, he triggered a confrontation with the Secret Service.

The gunman was transported to the hospital with injuries. There is no word yet on his current condition.

No Secret Service agents were harmed in the incident.

Secret Service agent Clint Hill, who leaped onto JFK’s car after the president was shot, dead at 93

Clint Hill, the Secret Service agent who leaped onto the back of President John F. Kennedy’s limousine after the president was shot, then was forced to retire early because he remained haunted by memories of the assassination, has died. He was 93.

Hill died Friday at his home in Belvedere, California, according to his publisher, Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. A cause of death was not given.

Although few may recognize his name, the footage of Hill, captured on Abraham Zapruder’s chilling home movie of the assassination, provided some of the most indelible images of Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

Female Secret Service Agent Trainee Shoots Herself and is Airlifted to Hospital Emergency Room

An awful incident occurred involving a female Secret Service trainee, which could have had fatal consequences.

Real Clear Politics’ Susan Crabtree reported Thursday night that the trainee in question shot herself in the leg at the Secret Service’s Rowley Training Center. Following the shooting, the trainee was airlifted to a Baltimore hospital emergency room for treatment.

Crabtree reveals the incident involved an accidental discharge of a weapon. There is no word yet on her condition.

Crabtree notes that it’s “extremely rare” for an agent or trainee to shoot themselves, though one previously did so back in September. That incident involved a male secret service agent.

Failing to handle a weapon properly means severe consequences for a career Secret Service employee training a recruit.

“Unsafe weapons handling is a serious violation and grounds for disqualification/dismissal during training of a new recruit,” a source in the Secret Service community explained to Crabtree. “It would amount to formal disciplinary action for a career [Secret Service] employee.”

Crabtree reveals concerns regarding more accidental discharges amongst Secret Service trainees and agents went up following a switch from the SIG 357 (which was more user-friendly) to Glock 9mm platforms. These did not include self-inflicted wounds, however.

“I’m Entitled to Know” — President Trump Orders Secret Service to Provide “Every Bit” of Information on His Two Would-Be Assassins

The American people are going to finally know the full truth about what really happened regarding the two attempts on Trump’s life last year.

President Trump told the New York Post on Saturday that he has ordered the Secret Service to provide “every bit” of information regarding the two people who tried to kill him last year: 19-year-old Thomas Crooks and 59-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh. He said he sent out instructions to disclose this information on Friday.

“I entitled to know,” Trump told the New York Post’s Miranda Devine.

“I want to find out about the two assassins,” he added. “Why did the one guy have six cell phones and why did the other guy have (foreign) apps?”

Trump went to rightfully blame Joe Biden for the Secret Service holding back information from the public.

“No more holding back because of Biden,” Trump stated. “I’m entitled to know. And they held it back long enough.”

“No excuses.”

Another Hoax Blows Up! Democrat Gov Pritzker, Fake News Media Falsely Claim ICE Agents Raided Chicago Elementary School – Here’s What Really Happened

Another day, another hoax.

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) falsely claimed that ICE agents visited a South Side school on Friday to smear the Trump Administration as it carried out immigration raids in Chicago this week.

It wasn’t ICE. Secret Service agents were investigating a threat at the school.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) spread the lie that ICE agents raided an elementary school in Chicago on Friday.

“After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school,” Pritzker said.

“Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American,” he said.

The Chicago Tribune spread the hoax as well.

Flawed Report Ignores Key Facts, Leaving America Vulnerable to Future Assassination Attempts

The Reality of the Bipartisan Task Force Investigation into Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump

The Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump Final Report. Sounds impressive. A Task Force. Like Storming a beachhead or cracking down on organized crime. Unfortunately, in the case of this Congressional committee, the American People did not get its money’s worth.

In fact, after months of “investigating” the result of those efforts consists of what the People already knew…the Secret Service did an extremely lousy job of protecting the then former President.

Do the People know why the alleged shooter attacked the then former President? No. Do the People know what physical evidence was collected to determine who was the alleged shooter? You know like DNA, fingerprints, photographs? Nope.

Did the Congressional Task Force interview the parents of the alleged shooter to determine what the family may have known about the shooting event, or did it bother to have a conversation with the alleged shooter’s employer?

You know an employer who had a recent photo of the alleged shooter and not some insulting High School photo. No. Neither of those interviews happened.

But the Task Force did provide the American People one hell of a photo op when its members took a day trip to Butler Pennsylvania to get a firsthand look at the rally venue and stand on the roof of the AGR building. How impressive. But was it worth the expense when the Task Force only came away with the Secret Service didn’t do its job?

AbleChild has been following the investigations associated with the attempted assassination in Butler, PA, and held some hope that that Task Force might provide some much-needed answers. Unfortunately, the Task Force Final Report leaves much to be desired so AbleChild must continue to ask the obvious questions.

For example, on Page 24 of the Final Report it is acknowledged that “at approximately 1:30p.m. Crooks’ father gave him the rifle that would later be used in the assassination attempt. The firearm was legally transferred to Crooks by his father the year prior.

Crooks told his father that he was going to the local gun range…” It seems obvious to ask if the father legally transferred the weapon to his son the prior year, why would the father have to give him the weapon?

Seriously, why would the son have to ask for the gun if he owned it for a year and, according to Senator Grassley’s report, the alleged shooter used it all the time at the local gun range?

Secret Service fired 6 close-range shots at Ryan Routh—missed them all: report

The US Secret Service (USSS) agent that took shots at Ryan Routh, the second alleged would-be assassin of now-President-elect Donald Trump, reportedly missed six times from around five feet away from Routh. The alarming failure of the agent comes as the USSS has come under higher scrutiny since the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting and attempted assassination of Trump.

Routh, who was positioned around 300-500 yards away from Trump on his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, was taken into custody earlier in the fall after USSS spotted him in the bushes with a rifle. After USSS agents took the shots at him, he ran off and was later arrested and charged in the alleged assassination attempt.

The report from the task force said that on September 15, there was an agent “riding along the fence line” of the golf course and then “noticed an individual by the fence line on the external perimeter.”

“The agent first noticed the suspect, later identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, and then noticed the barrel of Routh’s gun sticking through the fence line. The special agent, who may have been as close as five feet away from Routh, immediately responded by firing shots toward the suspect. It is believed six shots in total were fired; however, final ballistics are pending an ongoing FBI investigation,” the report added.

Routh then fled from the scene to his “pre-positioned vehicle” the report adds. “A bystander who, according to the Secret Service, heard the shots and witnessed Routh running to his vehicle, snapped a photo of Routh’s license plate and provided it to one of the Secret Service special agents,” it continued.
