Then, in Palm Beach, the United States Secret Service has discovered a raised tree stand that offers a clear view of the area where President Donald Trump frequently disembarks from Air Force One in Palm Beach, Florida.
Based on its location, calling this sniper's nest a tree stand isn’t fooling anyone. Frankly, I’m disappointed that word of the discovery has been released. I would have loved for it to have been investigated further until more information could be uncovered. Someone built it, and someone intended to use it, and deer hunting was not the objective.
The USSS’s explanation, in my opinion, sounds lame. According to Anthony Guglielmi, the chief of communications for the US Secret Service, no one was present in the area when the stand was found during preparations for Trump's arrival at Palm Beach International Airport.
He told Fox News Digital:
“There was no impact to any movements, and no individuals were present or involved at the location. While we are not able to provide details about the specific items or their intent, this incident underscores the importance of our layered security measures.”
Eric Trump responded to the news, praising the Secret Service for identifying the potential threat while making a sarcastic comment about it.
“‘Hunting Stand’ — for all the Whitetail on Southern BLVD. Located directly across the street from Palm Beach International Airport, in the median of a major highway … directly facing the Air Force One stairs (200yds). P.S. The Secret Service did a GREAT job finding this”
