Man caught scaling walls of Mar-a-Lago looking for Trump’s granddaughter
Donald Trump and his family have to be careful these days, as there are quite few delusional people who would like to do them harm.
After two failed assassination attempts, a man who tried to scale the walls of Mar-a-Lago is lucky he was not treated more aggressively by Trump’s security team.
Butler, PA
As we all know, Donald Trump nearly lost his life in Butler, PA, during the 2024 presidential election.
Thomas Matthew Crooks decided he wanted to take out Trump, and came about an inch from doing exactly that.
Crooks fired a shot at Trump just as Trump had turned his head, hitting Trump in the ear instead of blowing off the side of his head.
It was a fluke accident that Trump was not killed, but it was not the only attempt on his life.
Next attempt
Just a few months later, another man, Ryan Wesley Routh, had planned on taking Trump out while he was golfing.
Routh set up shop along the perimeter of the golf course, hoping to get a shot at Trump while he was on the course, but an agent spotted the weapon through the fence and opened fire before the would-be assassin could get off a shot.
Routh fled the scene, but authorities did manage to track him down, and he was arrested and charged for the attempt on Trump’s life.
Needless to say, the Trump family has every right to be a bit squirrely, yet the crazies still keep coming.
Hello, Kai
This brings us to Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, who apparently has a crush on Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, and tried to climb the walls of the estate to propose to her and spread the good word of the Lord.
Secret Service confirmed the attempt, stating, "An adult male was arrested early Tuesday morning by the Palm Beach Police Department for unlawfully entering the Mar-a-Lago Club property in Florida. Shortly after midnight, the individual scaled a perimeter fence and triggered alarms.
"U.S. Secret Service personnel detained him without incident at the scene. Palm Beach Police officers responded to the scene and took the individual into custody, charging him with occupied trespassing."
Neither Trump nor Kai were at Mar-a-Lago at the time. The president was in DC and Kai was in the Bahamas vacationing with a friend. I would imagine Trump will want to make sure she has extra security when she returns home to go to school at the University of Miami.
