Trump falsely claims US justice department was ready to kill him

On social media and in a Tuesday fundraising email, Donald Trump raised an alarming concern. The Department of Justice, he said, was ready to kill him.

The wild distortion came against the backdrop of Trump’s hush-money trial in New York and amid fears of rising political violence around the coming presidential election, predominantly from the far right. The comments cement an inverted picture Trump and his allies have painted, in which a patriotic Trump is pitted against anti-democratic deep-state foes.

The outlandish claims could ratchet up anger among his supporters and stoke conspiracy theories. “You know they’re just itching to do the unthinkable,” read the Trump campaign fundraising email, signed with the former president’s name. “Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.”

Is there a single conspiracy theory Trump doesn't like?

Yet another one, invented out of thin air, so that he could still pass himself off as a victim.

The only problem is that he wasn't even at Mar-a-Lago when the FBI and Biden allegedly fomented his assassination.

But that's not the kind of 'detail' that's going to stop the MAGA from believing this far-fetched story.

 

Donald J. Trump is a whiny, deluded, self-centered shell of a man.
Honestly, it isn't that surprising that a spoiled and entitled human being would come from the life he was handed, but what IS amazing to me is the number of US citizens that fall for his bs.
TRUMP SUPPORTERS: REPENT!

 

That he said the above is sick enough and desperate enough that shows he's bottomless, projecting his desperation. BUT, what's even MORE SICK, the amount of fund raising emails he sent out fund raising off of it.

The people he's targeting and that are sending him money off this gas lighting made up nonsense who swallow this crap down and hand over their $5, $10, $25, $50, etc so he can continue to live like a King and pay his bills. That's evilly tragic because he's taking advantage of their belief in him.

 

Could Trump be any more of a Complete IDIOT?

FACT FOCUS: Trump distorts use of ‘deadly force’ language in FBI document for Mar-a-Lago search

Noticed he made this statement right after it was released that Trump had more classified documents at his residence. The man is a weasel, about as opposite from Reagan as one can get.

 

What, citing the same article from talkingpointsmemo.com was too inflammatory so you went to plan B at the Guardian? LOL

 

Of course they were there to kill him. I'm grateful to God he wasn't home at the time.
I guess killing the competition is way more simple than rigging elections. At least the left was finally trying to be efficient about something.

 

The FBI knew he wasn't there, and the SS knew they were there to serve a legal Search Warrant thus nothing illegal going on and there was no danger to anyone there either.

Trump is shooting himself in the foot with his dumb claim since it was FALSE!

 

NO...They weren't...
LMFreakinAO....
Congrats...Nominee for Comedy Post of the Year..."they were there to kill him"

 

Whatever. They rushed that joint like gangbusters. Joe's document search was more like an afternoon tea party.
No double standard my ARSE!

 

It was so obvious, you haven't mentioned it in two years....

 

No need to mention the abundantly obvious. Trump's face looks orange. I haven't mentioned that in 2 years either. Your point?

 

And what is everything else Trump is weaponizing? His base to beat Biden in November? Judging by the polls they won’t need to fight hard, Biden is defeating himself.

 

Document search with no search warrant and no lethal force was there.

 

Well Maxine Waters has said the evil MAGA forces are off in secret mercenary training somewhere. I think they might have an evil plan. It probably will have something to do with dressing up in extremely patriotic outfits and face paint, storming the capital and saying "hey you, Change the election results NOW"
I think its a pretty good plan.

 

Yea really stupid for the DOJ to roll in with m16s and a warrant that authorized deadly force on a former president over NRA violations. Can you only imagine if the Secret Service happened to make the wrong move to protect their asset? It's an election year of course Trump going to play this freebie because the warrant DOES AUTHORIZE DEADLY FORCE! Only the wacko left isn't thinking why in the hell would the DOJ authorize deadly force in this raid?

 

Kind of a moot point as they want to take his lifetime security away from him.

 

My point is that you buy into every conspiracy theory that comes out of Trump's mouth and then pretend it was a no-brainer.

The FBI raid was two years ago and no MAGA on this forum, including you, has ever dared accuse Biden of trying to assassinate Trump.

 

They've pretty much all but said the words "WE WANT HIM DEAD" at this point.
Truly some evil people!!

 

On lookers probably thought it was a huge drug bust. Nope, just a former president with NA issues. Third world ****.

 

The Establishment wants easy access to him like Epstein.

 

Who care's if I didn't say something?
I didn't say something because its to traumatizing to even think about. Due to the mental anguish of Biden's assassination attempt I was emotionally scarred and unable to converse about it. I have finally healed from it (after a couple of tough years) and can now talk about it.
Like I said, very efficient way of dealing with the competition. Biden is smarter than I thought but I really wish he was less evil. Attempted murder by "death by agents" is a YUGE DEAL and I might have to talk about this WAY more from now on
Cheers!

 

To protect themselves? You don't think law enforcement should be allowed to protect themselves? What if the SS shoots at them? Should they call for permission to defend themselves?

 

How many people died that day on the premises? Was anyone hurt? Hard to call it an assassination attempt.

 

To protect themselves from the secret service, in what world does that make sense to you?
