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.

For anyone confused, this article is from February 23, 2026

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.

Wish more Trump supporters were like him

QAnon's whole thing was find the Deep State Pedo ring.....?

I don't understand why the

So what I’m hearing you say was that he was a democrat.

/s

Well, that's one "shoot your local pedophile" that tried to fulfill the boast.

At least some of them are willing to attempt something. They're redeemed IMHO.

Going off:

And Trump's still got almost three-quarters of his second term to go.

Too bad these trump supporters aren’t competent at anything

Well that must be a relief for Trump.

Obviously a total one-off

A CHRISTIAN MAGA? Trans Gay Libtard?

-Republicans!

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?

He must have gotten tired of Trump making a fool out of him.

callllled it.

they're dripping the Trump-Epstein Friendship Archive (ooo, that acronyms well) until a qanon loses it makes a serious enough attempt on Krasnov that they can call it a terrorism and martial law us

Not the first, definitely not the last…

Let them fight…

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.

Also not good at knowing when Trump was somewhere else.

Another wannabe hero taken before his time.
