Man Arrested with Multiple Guns Who Claimed Voices Told Him to Kill Trump

President Donald Trump has dodged his fair share of bullets and then some. While every president faces threats to his safety, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Trump has had more actual plots against him than any other president, though I also don't care to go and look. We know that a lot of people want the president dead, and far too many have gotten close.

And a recent arrest adds one more to the list, I guess.

This one came complete with voices telling him to kill the president.

The U.S. Secret Service said a suspect has been taken into custody and charged after officers found him in a vehicle near the White House with multiple guns, claiming he heard voices in his head telling him to kill President Donald Trump.

The arrest Thursday night happened after Secret Service officers approached a man “acting suspicious” in a parked car, according to a Homeland Security statement. U.S. officials say the suspect — Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos — then went on to describe voices in his head that were telling him to come to the nation’s capital and kill the Republican president.

These voices were not the extreme leftists on TikTok, YouTube, or cable news, for the record. 

At least, not that we're aware of as of this moment.

This one might have been physically close to the president, but it doesn't sound like his desire to kill the president was anywhere close to being productive, which is the good news. After all, he had guns in the car and voices in his head, but the president wasn't in sight and he wasn't close to being in a position to act on what his supposed instructions directed.

Thankfully.

The unfortunate reality is that when you spend 24/7 declaring the man as the worst totalitarian since Hitler, you can't be surprised when people take you at your word and start considering ways to end his authoritarianism, even if they're not sure how he's an authoritarian. Lump in a dose or two of what sounds like profound mental illness and a crazy like this (allegedly) is just ripe for internalizing the rhetoric and turning it into instructions to assassinate the President of the United States.

No fixation on Jody Foster required.

In this case, take Trump's tough stance on immigration, the fact that it seems Chrinos is an illegal alien from Venezuela, and mix in all of the rhetoric about how evil Trump is for the deportations, and this isn't difficult to understand.

Though, admittedly, the truly crazy don't need the rhetoric, just to be fair. It doesn't help, but it's not exactly critical, either.

That, however, raises the question of how an illegal alien got guns, of which the Secret Service says he had three, plus "dozens" of rounds of ammo, which probably means he had a box or two. Still, as an illegal alien, he couldn't lawfully purchase firearms, and he had three.

Just something for the anti-gunners to stew upon, I'm sure.

Let's just be clear that I think we should all be thankful that the president was never in any actual danger, but this isn't the first plot to be broken up and I see the next year as having even more broken up by law enforcement.

At least, I hope they're broken up.
