The US president has survived at least one assassination attempt and one plot to kill him
A Texas man was arrested in the US on Thursday for allegedly threatening to kill President Donald Trump, making a reference to a prior assassination attempt, the Department of Justice has stated.
The alleged threat came ahead of Trump’s planned visit to the Texas Hill Country on Friday, as part of his tour of the state devastated by recent deadly floods.
Robert Herrera, 52, allegedly made the comment on a local news outlet’s Facebook page about the presidential visit, the DOJ wrote on Friday. Using the handle ‘Robert Herrer’, he wrote, “I won’t miss,” alongside a photo of Trump immediately after the 2024 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Another commenter challenged his statement, to which he allegedly responded, “I’ll just come for you,” and posted a photograph of an assault rifle and loaded magazines, the DOJ wrote, citing court documents.
Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler last July during his election campaign. The gunman shot the president in the ear, killed an audience member in the crowd, and wounded two others before being taken out by a US Secret Service sniper.
