Trump Rants All Night — Wild Fantasy Biden Tried To Assassinate Him Now Includes FBI-Secret Service Gun Battle
Former President Donald Trump was up all night ranting on Truth Social — including a new version of his wild assassination fantasy that featured President Joe Biden’s FBI gunning for Trump’s Secret Service detail.
Right-wing hysteria has reached a fever pitch over a false claim that the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort was actually an assassination attempt.
The basis for the claim is standard language in the raid’s operation order that said agents “may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claims she was the one who told Trump about the non-existent danger Trump faced when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago while he wasn’t there, and which Trump is now fundraising on. But the scenario has captured imaginations across the MAGAsphere — including Trump’s.
In the middle of a social media frenzy that lasted until after 2 AM, Trump roped his Secret Service detail into the fantasy:
I have gotten to know so many amazing United States Secret Service Agents – It has been my honor to have them protecting me and my family since our historic 2016 Victory against “Beautiful” Hillary Clinton. Shockingly, however, Crooked Joe Biden’s Department of Injustice authorized the use of “deadly force” in their Illegal, UnConstitutional, and Un-American RAID of Mar-a-Lago, and that would include against our Great Secret Service, who they thought might be “in the line of fire.” As I told Crooked Joe’s DOJ, if they needed anything, “all they had to do was ask.” They did not have to ILLEGALLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY RAID my home, and rummage through my family’s, including Barron’s, private quarters. END THESE THIRD WORLD WITCH HUNTS, AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
None of that is true — the raid was conducted under a legal search warrant after numerous efforts to recover the materials in question were, the DOJ says, obstructed by Trump.
