Rep. Matt Gaetz has recently blown the whistle on a shocking revelation that raises serious concerns about the safety of former President Donald Trump. On a recent podcast episode of “Human Events,” Gaetz shared information he received from a high-ranking official at the Department of Homeland Security. According to this insider, the threat against Trump is more dire than most Americans could possibly imagine, with at least five separate assassination teams reportedly gunning for the former president’s life.
Two assassination attempts have already made headlines, one during a Pennsylvania rally in July and the second at Trump’s golf course in Florida just this month. Gaetz has warned that current measures to protect Trump are not cutting it, describing them as merely “the bare minimum.” When five teams are scheming to take Trump out, one would think ensuring his safety would be a top priority, yet it seems the Biden administration is more concerned with keeping Jill Biden comfortable than protecting one of its most controversial political figures.
Matt Gaetz: There are 5 assassination teams targeting Trump. Three are foreign and two are domestic.
Trump should have had more protection all along. The DHS set him up by knowing this and not providing extra protection at Butler etc.

Gaetz raised eyebrows by questioning the decision to reallocate security resources from Trump to others like Jill Biden, suggesting that the risk level was fundamentally different. While there haven’t been any assassination attempts on Jill Biden or even Vice President Kamala Harris, it seems more bureaucratic blunders are at play here. After all, Trump is the guy who seems to thrive every time the narrative takes a turn for the dramatic—could that be a reason to shift resources destined for his protection?
The timing of these security lapses raises additional suspicions, as it occurs while Trump’s popularity appears to be rebounding in key battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. Polling from the New York Times and Siena College suggests Trump is gaining traction just when one might expect his foes to be shaking in their boots at the mere idea of his political resurrection. Meanwhile, the declining support for Harris hints that the American electorate is waking up to the fact that leadership isn’t just about being a placeholder for the next big headline.
As the early voting period looms on the horizon, the pressing question remains: How many more threats does Trump need to face before those in charge take protective measures seriously? With five assassination teams reportedly in play, one can’t help but feel that the entertainment level of modern politics is reaching new heights, while the stakes for Trump seem to be perilously high. If Americans are preparing to cast their votes for a strong leader, they certainly hope that Trump can stay alive long enough to make his case—and perhaps outshine his rivals who are simply fumbling for relevance.
