Donald Trump Wildly Suggests Biden Was Ready To Kill Him In Mar-a-Lago Search

Donald Trump on Tuesday ridiculously claimed that President Joe Biden was "locked & loaded ready to take me out" during the FBI's 2022 search for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, marking the first time in modern U.S. history that a former president accused his successor of trying to kill him, The Washington Post reported.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) chimed in on X that the Justice Department and FBI under Biden "were planning to assassinate Pres Trump and gave the green light." She suggested she had warned Trump about it. "What are Republicans going to do about it?" she wrote.
The quadruply indicted president and his allies distorted boilerplate language in the Mar-a-Lago search warrant that authorizes deadly force if necessary.
The FBI said in a statement it followed "standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force."
"No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter," the FBI said.
The bureau already testified it chose a day Trump would not be on the premises for the raid and let the Secret Service know to prevent drama, the Post noted.
The "deadly force" conspiracy theories erupted on social media after the language emerged in court filings released Tuesday.
Trump and his campaign team took full advantage after a day in court in his hush-money trial.
"They were authorized to shoot me!" read the subject line of his campaign's fundraising email, signed by him, the Post reported. "You know they're just itching to do the unthinkable. Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger."
Earlier in the day Trump had mildly insinuated that Biden posed a threat to his life.
Biden and his administration "AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE. NOW WE KNOW, FOR SURE, THAT JOE BIDEN IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. HE IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO HOLD OFFICE — 25TH AMENDMENT," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump faces charges of mishandling the classified documents and obstructing their retrieval in a trial that is now delayed. He also faces multiple charges in two cases centered on his alleged scheming to overturn the 2020 election.
HuffPost reached out to the White House for comment.

The question for discussion is what the fuck is wrong with Donald Trump. If you want to change the subject to Biden, dont bother.
Nothing is wrong with Trump. But a whole lot of things are wrong about this just-for-show staged raid. This was all planned to be a media event. Trump was in negotiations with the powers that be on how best to return the documents. The Biden administration thought it would get a made-for-TV moment political boost by having various agencies storm Mar-a-Lago. But if all fell apart when it was discovered that Biden had also kept classified materials.
You know when it comes to the topic, why someone hasn't is beyond me
Nothing is wrong with Trump.
He over exaggerates for drama...........always has..........always will. But do you possibly agree they went overboard?
Ok...Fox News. Enough said
That all you have? The source dissing? How about an actual opinion?
Nah I'm content
So you got nuthin'
'There's nothing wrong with the former 'president'
The defense of the indefensible is fucking mindboggling
JFC
'Nothing is wrong with the former 'president'
It’s amazing that anyone can defend this simply because they hate trump. The Secret Service will lay down their lives to defend Presidents. Anybody who thinks authorizing deadly force is a good idea in this situation is a fucking moron.
Soooooooooo agree with you.
As said, Trump exaggerates. He knows it wasn't an attempt to take his life as he wasn't even there.
and the fools that support him lap it up
And the people that hate him seem to be stupid enough to think he is serious, same coin, just different sides.
Authorizing deadly force on a site where there a secret service agents who purpose is to protect the president is the height of incompetence, or just a normal day for the Biden administration.
No, actually that would be his cult followers, who believe every tale he does weave.
So a dangerous precedent again set, by the LYING mental defect.
According to Trump's lawyers, Biden would have every right to do it. Absolute immunity.
I bet he forgot about that
Not quite, a move like that would trigger an immediate impeachment inquiry, then Senate trial. And if acquitted, the lawmakers that voted for acquittal will need to face the voters.
If the members of the impeachment committee were executed by presidential order, what would be your solution then?
domino effect...
Correct, it would ultimately fall to the people to take the corrective action.
A move like that would really piss off quite a few people since the impeachment committee would consist of representatives elected to their position by the majority of their districts voters. This is moving close to the reason for the 2nd amendment.
So, is it your opinion that a President has absolute immunity to commit mass murder unless he or she is impeached and then convicted by the Senate, and failing that, the only solution is somehow through elections, whatever solution that might provide? Or are you suggesting vigilantism as the people taking corrective action?
Under the theory you apparently espouse, a President would have the power to suppress elections and use the military to quash any popular revolt against his homicidal government. That is where the absurd and fallacious doctrine of absolute presidential immunity leads us.
“Or are you suggesting vigilantism as the people taking corrective action?”
A course of action that in times past would be considered impossible. It now maddeningly seems possible given the rhetoric so flippantly tossed around in these dysfunctional times…times bordering on the dystopian.
“The outrage that comes from adopting the perspective of a victim can drive an appetite for retribution.” ~ Paul Bloom
The January 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol was an actual instance of right wing vigilantism.
Well, you caught on quick. The president is elected to do the people's and state's bidding and has to make the hard decisions without being hampered by legal prosecutions for his actions and there is a process provided to remove a president through impeachment and if that fails it goes down the list as you stated.
President has absolute immunity to commit mass murder
Yes wars are a bitch.
“…without being hampered by legal prosecutions for his actions…”
A rather bizarre and ultimately frightening contention.
You don't seem to have caught on at all. Presidents have limited immunity. Absolute immunity is antithetical to the founding principles of the United States. Absolute immunity would establish a dictatorship. Of course, many on the extreme right wing apparently favor an authoritarian, dictatorial government. The vast majority of sane, sensible Americans do not.
The scenario posited clearly contemplates a presidential regime making war on Americans. In the context of the discussion, your comment "wars are a bitch" indicates disregard, and seemingly acquiescence, as to a President committing war against Americans.
You don’t seem to have actually read any of the comments or are apparently completely fine with a dictator and killing your fellow citizens.
evangelical and catholic churches will be a safe place for trumpsters to hide... /s
he takes an oath to uphold the constitution...
starting with ginni, I mean clarence, and alito, I mean his wife . . . you can't make this shit up
I’m surprised Trump hasn’t claimed that Joe had plans to have Hunter murder him with his illegally obtained gun.
there's still 5 months left, wait for it...
it's on hunter's laptop
from the clown who told US January 6th was just a few rowdy tourists, to obscenely prejudicial jurists, Biden tried to assassinate the impurest
of them all , just another Trump tale too tall
he knows his audience of idiots and plays to them ...
Since a democrat presidential administration with Joe Biden has ordered the execution of Americans without due process...........II guess we can't be surprised why some are sensitive to this being pointed out.
So Trump is part of a terrorist organization and should be worried?
If we had a domestic terrorism law.
