Over the last few months, we have seen at least two people try to assassinate Donald Trump.
There have been other instances where people were found with weapons around Trump, but they did not get nearly as close as to what happened at Trump’s rally in Butler or at Mar-a-Lago.
There is another list, however, and Trump is at the top of it.
They Want Him Dead
Iran has not hidden the fact that it wants Donald Trump dead for the killing of General Soleimani, but there are quite a few other names on that list as well.
For instance, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is on the list, as is former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Pretty much every shotcaller who was involved with the Soleimani strike is on that list.
There has been a lot of chatter lately that Iran is going to act on the list, and Joe Biden has already told them that any assassination attempt on Trump would be considered an act of war.
Matt Olsen, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for national security, stated, “This is extraordinarily serious.
“Iran has made it very clear that they are determined to seek retaliation against former officials in connection with the Soleimani strike.”
There is a rather significant problem, which is the Secret Service does not have the resources to protect all of these people properly from such a threat.
Megan Reiss, a former national security policy adviser to Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) added, “There were a number — not a huge number — but a number of people who would probably be considered pretty significant targets who were not getting pretty much any support.”
After Soleimani was killed, Khamenei posted his promise on his social media account, stating, “Those who ordered the murder of General Soleimani as well as those who carried this out should be punished.
“This revenge will certainly happen at the right time.”
We have already seen how two nobodies were able to get that close to Trump, so just imagine what an organized and skilled assassin would be able to accomplish.
Secret Service better get its act together, and soon.
