Breaking: Federal Investigation Launched into Senior’s Alleged Threat Against Trump at Rally

An elderly man is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after making a shocking statement at a No Kings rally, where he called for the death of former President Donald Trump. Over the weekend, millions of Americans participated in No Kings protests across more than 2,700 cities, criticizing Trump’s administration for its ‘authoritarian’ and allegedly unlawful practices. While the demonstrations remained mostly peaceful, reports from major cities indicated no arrests were made. However, a video of the elderly man’s alarming comment quickly gained attention on social media.

The footage, posted on X by Libs of TikTok, captured the elderly man, who was using a cane, approaching a crowd near a Trump-themed bus labeled ‘Team America.’ As he walked, one participant noticed the numbers ’86 47′ on his shirt. When asked by the person filming to explain the numbers, the man unsettlingly replied, “Kill the son of a [expletive].”

When further questioned about who the comment was aimed at, the man reiterated, “The 47th president.” In restaurant jargon, ’86’ refers to getting rid of something, while ’47’ is a reference to Trump as the 47th president. Throughout the interaction, the elderly man appeared unperturbed by the attention, even sharing his name with a smile, undeterred by the presence of the camera.

‘Glad we got that on camera,’ the man recording said. ‘You know that’s illegal right? You don’t threaten the president. You don’t threaten anybody.’ The man merely chuckled and began to walk away, while the cameraman pressed him on why the death threat only exemplified the so-called ‘problem’ with Democrats. ‘You guys get so emotional, you feel you need to threaten people,’ he told the elderly man. The supporter explained that Republicans are about spreading love and addressing national challenges – a direct counterpoint to the elderly man’s threatening comments.

‘[Expletive] you guys,’ the elderly man replied, dismissively waving his hand as he made his way to a crowd of protesters holding signs along the road. Within 24 hours, the post drew almost 150,000 views and hundreds of comments from users denouncing the violent language and the ‘hypocrisy’ across the political spectrum. ‘Seriously, what happened to that generation that caused them to be so easily deceived and evil? Do they not recognize who robbed them from what they’re so mad about, yet still live so comfortably? It makes zero sense,’ one comment read.

Another said: ‘Not too many years ago comments like that would earn a visit from the secret service.’ ‘Arrest and prosecute this terrorist,’ a third user called for. Referencing the shirt’s design, one user wrote: ‘One wonders why Amazon hasn’t been investigated for allowing these to be sold.’ ‘The horrific thing is he blatantly gave his name as if there is nothing wrong with threatening the president. I hope the FBI pays him a visit and at least destroys the shirts,’ another added.

On Monday evening, Fox News reporter Peter D’Abrosca revealed on X that the elderly man’s chilling comments had prompted DHS to launch an investigation. The numbers 86 47 first grabbed headlines back in May when former FBI Director James Comey shared a photo on Instagram showing them spelled out in seashells. Comey quickly took down the post, explaining he had no idea that ‘some folks associate those numbers with violence.’

He was let go by Trump in the first year of his presidency, only to be confronted by the Secret Service on May 16 this year. ‘Today, federal agents from Secret Service interviewed disgraced former FBI Director Comey regarding a social media post calling for the assassination of President Trump,’ DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X . ‘I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of Trump,’ she added.

Trump addressed Comey’s comment in an interview with Fox News, stating he ‘knew exactly what he meant.’ ‘A child knows what that meant. That meant “assassination,”‘ the president said. ‘And it says it loud and clear,’ he added. ‘He wasn’t very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant.’

Over the weekend, Trump was asked about protests in which liberals accused him of subverting American democracy and infringing on citizens’ First Amendment rights. ‘I’m not a king,’ he responded, shrugging off the accusations. ‘I work my [expletive] off to make our country great.’
