Rep. Matt Gaetz has uncovered a chilling conspiracy, claiming that five assassination teams are actively hunting down Donald Trump. This riveting revelation comes on the heels of a second assassination attempt that occurred over the weekend while the former president enjoyed a round of golf in Palm Beach. Nothing says “land of the free” quite like armed stalkers lurking in the bushes, right?
During an interview with Just the News, Gaetz mentioned that a senior official from the Homeland Security Department, presumably not strutting around in a superhero cape, approached him as a whistleblower before the attempted hit. Apparently, this unnamed official is concerned that Trump’s security—designed to keep former presidents safe from the lurking threat of assassination teams—is as adequate as a raincoat in a hurricane. Gaetz insists that out of the five groups stacked against Trump, three are foreign, while the other two are purely domestic. So basically, it’s a global effort to take down the Donald.
The recent attempt on Trump’s life took a bizarre turn when a suspect was apprehended with an AK-47 after an alert Secret Service agent spotted the barrel peeking out from some finely manicured foliage. The alleged would-be assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, is currently in custody, battling firearms violations like a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” but with significantly less skill and charm. It’s almost comedic the lengths some are willing to go, proving yet again that criminal masterminds come in all shapes and sizes.
Gaetz pointed out some troubling priorities when it comes to security detail allocations for Trump and Joe Biden. He raised eyebrows claiming that while the threats against Trump were mounting, protective resources were being diverted to others with significantly lesser threat levels. It’s almost as if the Secret Service were playing a really terrible game of security detail musical chairs, with Biden getting the best seat while Trump is left standing. Is it time for a refresher course on threat assessment for those running the show?

With reports of Iranian-linked plots swirling around like confetti at a poorly planned parade, it becomes clear that there is more to this sinister tale. Charges have even been filed against a Pakistani national for conspiring with Iran to hire a hitman, and another character was arrested for attempting to smuggle Iraqis over the Mexican border for the same purpose. It’s almost like Hollywood can’t keep up with the drama—except this isn’t a movie; it’s the grim reality of modern American politics. The nation’s security apparatus has its hands full protecting the likes of Trump, Bush, and several others, all supposedly facing retaliation for actions taken against Iranian officials during the Trump administration.
In a world where the safety of elected officials should be non-negotiable, the notion that multiple plots are still hanging over Trump’s head paints a disturbing picture. While the media clamors for a crisp soundbite, the reality is that serious threats to the former president’s life are being brushed aside. The lingering question remains: should a country like the United States allow this to happen? If it can happen to Trump, who’s next?
