The left will not cease their hateful rhetoric directed at former President Donald Trump.
Despite two assassination attempts and other questionable incidents, the media keeps warning voters that Trump is a "threat to democracy," even though the Democrats are the party that cancelled the primary votes of 14 million people and bestowed their presidential nomination to an individual who did not receive one vote.
The supposed "threat to democracy" legitimately won three Republican Party nominations in overwhelming fashion.
He is now conducting his third campaign for the presidency.
Sadly, in this race, he is facing unprecedented danger.
By the grace of God, Trump has survived two assassination attempts.
The first in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 when Thomas Matthew Crooks used an assault rifle to take eight shots at the former president, injuring him and two others.
Tragically, the assassin managed to take the life of Corey Comperatore. A Secret Service sniper killed the assailant, but not until he was able to somehow roam around the rally grounds and ascend a nearby roof to get into his sniper position.
The next incident occurred on Sept. 15 at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
For 12 hours, attempted assassin Ryan Routh waited for President Trump in the bushes adjacent to the golf course. He had a sniper’s nest, an assault rifle, and a gun scope.
Fortunately, he was discovered by a Secret Service agent who engaged him after seeing the barrel of his gun protruding through the bushes!
Routh is now in custody, but his disturbing manifesto was released to the public.
In this document, Routh offered $150,000 to anyone who succeeded in the mission he failed to complete, assassinating Trump.
Initially, reports circulated that a third assassination attempt may have been thwarted in Coachella, California as recently as this past Saturday evening.
Vem Miller, an individual who attended the 2024 Republican National Convention and ran for office in Nevada, was arrested outside of the perimeter of Trump’s Coachella rally for being "illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine."
When taken into custody by Riverside County deputies, Miller was also carrying phony VIP and media passes.
According to the Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, Miller was carrying "fake passports" and said he wanted to "kill the president." By making the arrest, Bianco said that his deputies "probably stopped another assassination attempt."
Nevertheless, a Trump campaign official reported to Bill Melugin of Fox News that "there was no assassination attempt." Miller was released on Sunday by the Riverside County detention center by posting $5,000 bail.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said the incident "did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event." Whatever Miller’s motivation, the arrest highlights the heightened concerns about our nation's 45th commander in chief's safety.
The Biden administration has already announced that trained murderers working with the Iranian government have targeted President Trump for assassination.
Additionally, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., reported that there are five teams of assassins trying to kill President Trump.
The informant told Gaetz that Trump’s security "was not sufficient."
This dangerous situation is undoubtedly why the Trump campaign asked the U.S. Department of Defense to supply military aircraft and anti-aircraft missiles to enhance Trump’s protection levels.
With such disturbing attacks directed at President Trump and his supporters, surely the media and Democrats are cooling their heated rhetoric, while asking for calm.
Unfortunately, neither has happened, as exactly the opposite has occurred.
On MSNBC, Biden Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, said "How did we get here? Let’s extinguish him for good. We have an answer. We have a remarkably talented candidate who is sincere, who’s pragmatic, who’s open. Let’s just get it done."
What does she mean by "extinguish"?!
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., blasted her remarks on social media, posting "Democrats keep using disgusting and dangerous language like this even after TWO assassination attempts on Donald Trump."
In a recent interview, President Trump addressed the threats, noting, "Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country, both from the inside and out."
President Trump is right, but his detractors will not cease. In Los Angeles recently, Trump’s head was kicked around as a soccer ball at an art gallery exhibit.
At another Los Angeles art gallery, a nude statue of President Trump featuring severed genitals was on display.
The project was included in the gallery’s American Punchline Exhibition, which "examines the intersection between art and politics through a satirical lens."
Yet, this kind of "satire" is only directed at one candidate, President Trump, and it includes the promotion of acts of violence. While some on the left may think such disgusting displays are funny, in contrast, these actions only verify how infected they have become with the disease known as "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
