July 13, 2024, as I was driving with my son from Mississippi to West Virginia for my cousin’s funeral, then former President Trump survived an assassination attempt in a field in Butler, Pennsylvania. Fast forward two months, on September 15, the same former President Trump was potentially the target of another assassination attempt from a guy pointing his Soviet SKS carbine at President Trump as he was playing golf on his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. While I was the security supervisor for President Trump’s 2020 national campaign headquarters in Arlington, VA, the then-campaign manager told me that he was assaulted while pumping gas at a gas station. All of this was after politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and Chuck Schumer called for the harassment of anyone associated with President Trump.
Now, current Minnesota governor and former vice president candidate Tim Walz has again called for the harassment of President Trump by democrat politicians, according to Fox News.
While Walz only called for democrats to get tougher on President Trump and to “bully” him, no doubt that hardcore, extreme democrat supporters will continue to also answer that call to President Trump supporters.
As a former anti-terrorism officer for a Navy SEAL Team, the security supervisor for President Trump’s 2020 campaign headquarters, former personal protection agent to federal politicians in Washington D.C., to foreign ambassador to the U.S. and top executives of Fortune 100 companies, and the Sergeant-at-Arms for the Arizona Republican Party (AZGOP), it is my professional and educated opinion that bullying is, at very least, the simplest form of terrorism. When people are bullied for the clothes they wear, the color of their skin, whether they are male or female, their weight, what they look like, etc., their life gets disrupted. The basic definition of terrorism is nothing more than any action that disrupts people’s ways of life. Nearly a quarter century ago, 4 airplanes killed almost 3,000 people on 9/11, and how many people are still afraid to fly today? On July 20, 2012, 13 people were murdered and 70 others were injured at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. How many people were scared to go to a movie theater or any other public place after that? How many times have you seen a person open a door going into a public place by pulling their shirt sleeve over their hand and pulling open the door? Covid-19, (what many professionals and experts in the counterterrorism and antiterrorism fields, including myself), have called a biological terrorism attack on the world by the Chinese government. How many people are still afraid to live a normal life since Covid came out?
An act of terrorism doesn’t always need to kill or injure someone. Sometimes a terrorist attack is successful by just embarrassing someone enough on a large scale. In 1998, billionaire Bill Gates was hit in the face by a sponge and cream pie as he was walking down a sidewalk in Brussels. To many, that was an act of terrorism, at the very least, an assault. Senator Ted Cruz and his wife were chased out of a restaurant during Brett Kavanaugh’s U.S. Supreme Court nomination hearings, if this caused the Senator not to visit his favorite restaurant again, this could be considered an act of terrorism.
The problem here is that when politicians start telling their extreme left or right supporters to go out and harass, threaten, or bully supporters of the opposite party, people get injured, sometimes killed. Democrats are on year 9 of doing everything they can to destroy President Trump, so much as to destroy America in the process, and they literally couldn’t care less.
Many times, a person has been convicted of being an accessory to murder by just telling someone else to kill someone and they do it. How many times have you heard of a politician getting arrested as an accessory of violence that they call for and someone carries that order out? When a politician commits a crime, no one seems to have the guts to charge them with anything or sweep it under the rug. When a politician says to harass others, those others usually get harassed.
Bullying someone because of the color of their skin, for being poor, gay/straight, physical handicaps, etc., has no place in our society, whether by republican or democrat politicians, especially in our current political climate. By Governor Tim Walz calling for democrat politicians to “bully” President Trump, he is calling for violence in our streets and our neighborhoods. With that, I hope that a President Trump’s Secret Service, Department of Justice, and local law enforcement agencies around the country take this as a very serious threat moving forward.
