Now that trump has started a war there is no other distraction he can use to avoid pedophilia charges other than nuclear. That old quote by Burke about evil gaining a foothold if good people do nothing seems to be true. But this was one good person acting alone. Maybe there are more?

Well, that's one "shoot your local pedophile" that tried to fulfill the boast.
Another wannabe hero taken before his time.
Wish more Trump supporters were like him
Can you imagine the overwhelming irony if the Jan 6 "patriots" decided to march on Mar-a-lago?
Its not outside of the realm of possibility
QAnon's whole thing was find the Deep State Pedo ring.....?
I don't understand why the
And qanon likely had direct involvement by.....
None other than Epstein himself.
At least some of them are willing to attempt something. They're redeemed IMHO.
Let them fight…
So what I’m hearing you say was that he was a democrat.
/s
No. He was a gay trans antifa liberal socialist commie.
Paid by Iran!
For anyone confused, this article is from February 23, 2026
I was going to say, this is old news
Martin is the second person to attempt to enter Mar-a-Lago with the intent to kill the president, and the third in general. In 2024, Ryan Routh attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at the Florida estate. He was recently sentenced to life in prison. And of course, Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to kill Trump in Pennsylvania in 2024. All three were white men.
I don't know how many more trump supporters trying to kill trump it will take for people to realize he's actually losing support...
But at least they're not attacking innocent people.
There is constant mental gymnastics to pretend these MAGAs are anything but actual MAGAs.
and this is just the dumb/emotionally unregulated, acting on pure impulse as their programming breaks.
i have a feeling there are a lot more calculated killers out there waiting to see how the midterms turn out. will a wave of progressives get enough control to hold people accountable or just "business as usual"
Every poll shows him with a steady 30% support.
Gallup literally stopped once it was 27% with no indication of the drop halting...
Sometimes I overestimate how long ago something was, but I swear that was weeks ago
That’s one source of polling.
A ~~CHRISTIAN MAGA?~~ Trans Gay Libtard?
-Republicans!
The 21-year-old man... was an “outspoken” Christian, a strong Trump supporter, and obsessed with the cover-up of the Epstein files...
They left out "really bad planner" from the list.
Thats implicit in "trump supporter"
It goes unsaid
That should be implied.
One nit to pick: the guy who was just convicted and given life in prison did not make his attempt at Mar-a-Lago, but at Trump's golf course in Southern West Palm Beach (located, fittingly enough, on Gun Club Road). Mar-a-Lago does not have a golf course.
This is about the guy who was killed this year 2026 at Mar-a-Lago though not about the security incident further in the past.
Lmao Trump doesn't even have his own golf course on his private estate? Didn't he realize he was such a poor
He must have gotten tired of Trump making a fool out of him.

Not necessarily, one of them might be successful.
Fair enough.
Seems they're including some elder people on that list for merely making facebook threats? I mean sure investigate these by all means, but I wouldn't consider it a...credible assassination attempt.
callllled it.
they're dripping the Trump-Epstein Friendship Archive until a qanon loses it makes a serious enough attempt on Krasnov that they can call it a terrorism and martial law us
Well that must be a relief for Trump.
Obviously a total one-off
Not the first, definitely not the last…
Critical support
You really want to see him martyred when he's on his last leg?
America is lost anyway I want to see it happen
Why are you posting this old article now?
