The Left Keeps Fanning the Flames of the Trump Hatred

The left will not stop with their hateful rhetoric directed at President Donald Trump. Despite two assassination attempts and many 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.

Democrats also rigged the presidential nomination races in 2016 and 2020, denying the nomination to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and installing candidates favored by party insiders, not voters.

The supposed “threat to Democracy” legitimately won three party nominations in overwhelming fashion and 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 already survived two assassination attempts. Of course, the first one occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 when Thomas Matthew Crooks used an assault rifle to take eight shots at President Trump, injuring him and two others, and taking the life of Corey Comperatore. A Secret Service sniper killed him, but not until he was able to roam around the rally grounds and ascend a nearby roof to assume his sniper position.

The next incident occurred on September 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 on 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 Trump’s safety.

The Biden administration has already announced that trained murderers working with the Iranian government have targeted President Trump for assassination. In addition, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) reported that there are five teams of assassins trying to kill President Trump.

Gaetz divulged to John Solomon and Amanda Head of Just the News on Real America’s Voice, that a “senior official from the Department of Homeland Security” told him that three of the teams are associated with “foreign governments” and the other two are “domestic” in origin.

The informant told Gaetz that Trump’s security “was not sufficient.” This dangerous situation is undoubtedly why the Trump campaign asked the Defense Department to supply military aircraft and anti-aircraft missiles to enhance President Trump’s level of protection.

As a precaution, Trump is speaking behind bulletproof glass at outdoor rallies and, according to Politico,  has “not always traveled on his personal plane.” These measures are necessary because of the ongoing threats against him.

For example, in mid-September, a mysterious chemical attack was presumably launched at a Trump rally in Tucson, Arizona. After the event, 20 attendees standing behind President Trump reported a burning sensation in their eyes and face and needed medical attention. This “mystery illness” has not been fully explained and could have been directed at them by an unknown individual trying to injure President Trump.

With such disturbing attacks directed at President Trump and his supporters, surely the media and Democrats are lowering their heated rhetoric and asking for calm. Unfortunately, exactly the opposite has occurred.

On MSNBC, the Commerce Secretary for the Biden administration, 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 stop. In Los Angeles last weekend, 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.”
