Hazmat vehicles and firetrucks flock to Donald Trump Jr.’s home in Jupiter, Florida, after he received a parcel containing a death threat and a white powdery substance on Monday.
Palm Beach police officers are now looking into the incident. The letter is addressed to Don Jr. and other members of the Trump family, including 17-year-old Barron Trump.
As reported by the Daily Beast, “the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, received the letter and opened the envelope—causing the white powder to fly out,” as told by one of the sources.
After running through some tests, the substance came up inconclusive and confirmed that Trump Jr.’s life wasn’t in danger.
Don Jr. quipped: “It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens.”
He added that this was the second time he and his family received a similar threat.
“Clearly, if this happened to a prominent Democrat it wouldn’t be tolerated and would drive news coverage for weeks. The media would blame all Republicans and force them to answer for it, But since it’s me, radical haters on the left will largely get a free pass and the media will barely flinch.”
“This is actually the second white powder substance envelope that’s been mailed to me. The last time we had this happen, it was during my father’s presidency and my then-wife opened it up with my kids by her side. So, it’s just sad that we live in a society where politics and the left’s hatred of my father would drive people to do such crazy things, but that’s where we are unfortunately. ”
However, the letter sender seems to be on a spree as a similar package was also sent to a north Louisiana church where House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) visited. A similar incident occurred in 2023, where about 100 Republican lawmakers and public officials in Kansas received parcels containing white powder, which called for the FBI to look into the matter.
Don Jr. is one of his father’s trusted campaign representatives. He frequently appears in various activities on behalf of the GOP leader.
Additionally, in March 2016, Don Jr.’s brother Eric received a similar threat.
Envelopes with white powder were also sent twice to Trump Tower in 2016. The tower served as Trump’s campaign headquarters.
Fears involving the white powder hoax attacks began in 2001 when letters that contained anthrax were sent to news outlets and the offices of two U.S. senators. These letters killed five people.
This is unacceptable no one should have to put up with this crap!! The news media is silent on this but if t was one of the Biden family it would be all over the news! Pathetic
