Concerns have intensified\u200b due to perceived \u2063mismanagement by \u2062the Biden administration regarding Israel and border security, which \u2063some argue could endanger Trump&#8217;s\u2062 safety. Republican Representative Mike \u200cWaltz highlighted that as the Middle\u2063 East situation worsens, primarily due to \u200cBiden&#8217;s leadership, \u2062threats\u2064 to Trump have also increased, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/education-group-reveres-black-panther-party-in-new-lesson-plan\/\" title=\"Education Group Reveres Black Panther Party In New Lesson Plan\">extremist groups<\/a>, particularly from Iran, making\u2063 serious threats since \u200cthe killing of\u2064 Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Waltz expressed alarm over the \u2062lack of accountability from Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security, suggesting they\u200b are more focused\u200d on self-preservation than on effective protection\u200d and reform. Following a shooting incident where Trump was targeted, discussions about the threats have amplified,\u2062 with the FBI warning of potential follow-up attacks. The\u200c chaotic situation within the Secret \u200cService, \u200dcompounded by leadership changes, adds to the concerns about Trump&#8217;s \u2063security amidst a volatile political landscape.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump death threats surge, linked to Biden&rsquo;s Israel and border bumbling<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1724509\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Concerns about former President Donald Trump&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3109154\/six-10-republicans-see-biden-administrations-hand-trump-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>personal security<\/a> have surged as the Biden administration has given mixed messages about backing Israel and keeping the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/crenshaw-slams-biden-he-refuses-to-protect-americas-borders-is-allowing-crisis-to-get-more-voters\/\" title=\"Crenshaw Slams Biden: He \u2018Refuses\u2019 To Protect America\u2019s Borders, Is Allowing Crisis To Get More Voters\">border open<\/a> despite evidence that likely terrorists have slipped into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>A key member of the newly formed bipartisan House task force looking into the July 13 attempted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>assassination<\/a> of Trump said threats to the GOP presidential nominee have surged with the growing fears of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3105636\/iran-raises-red-flag-revenge-vow-retaliate-hamas-leader-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Middle East war<\/a> and continued open border policies of President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think that the thing that has me so alarmed is as Biden&rsquo;s lack of leadership and mismanagement makes the Middle East situation worse, I think the sad irony is it gets even more dangerous for the former president,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/rep-mike-waltz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Rep.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) expressed alarm, stating, &#8220;As Biden&#8217;s ineffective leadership exacerbates tensions in the Middle East, it ironically poses greater risks for the former president.&#8221; He added that if Israel were to take military action against Iran while U.S. borders remain unsecured, it would create an even more perilous environment for Trump. Waltz criticized Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security leadership for being more focused on self-preservation than on accountability and reform.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Iran and various anti-American terrorist organizations have issued threats against Trump and his associates, particularly after Trump&#8217;s administration ordered the killing of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani in 2020. Following an assassination attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last month\u2014where Crooks fired at both Trump and attendees\u2014the FBI has warned about potential subsequent attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Waltz remarked that never before has there been such a significant level of foreign threats aimed at a former president like those currently targeting Trump. He highlighted concerns raised by an FBI announcement regarding an Iranian operative who had entered the U.S., indicating serious intentions to eliminate him.<\/p>\n<p>Trump sustained injuries to his right ear during this shooting incident but believes he narrowly escaped death due to instinctively turning his head at just the right moment; two individuals behind him were injured while one father was killed while shielding his family from gunfire.<\/p>\n<p>Since this incident, there has been turmoil within Secret Service leadership leading to resignations at high levels. As one of Congress&#8217;s first Army Green Berets members, Waltz is preparing to release his third book titled &#8220;Hard Truths: Think and Lead Like a Green Beret.&#8221; In discussions about security measures for Trump as he campaigns as the Republican nominee rather than merely as a former president\u2014who typically receives standard protection\u2014Waltz noted that Trump&#8217;s security team has long requested additional resources but was treated according to typical protocols applicable to all ex-presidents regardless of their current political status<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2647,"featured_media":2320081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump-failed-assassination-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,32282,37353,4671,3634],"class_list":["post-2320080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-border-policy","tag-death-threats","tag-israel","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump-failed-assassination-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2647"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2320080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2320081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2320080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2320080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2320080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
