We are seeing more and more news on social media claiming that strong opposition to Trump's rhetoric is inciting violence, and that Trump's campaign and supporters need to be cautious. Of course, this has sparked all kinds of discourse based on the topic of "Trump possibly being assassinated."

Until just now, we saw a report showing that the "Stand with Palestine" protest in Los Angeles has turned into violent behavior. The gathered protesters surrounded a fundraising event for Trump hosted by billionaire donor Sheldon Adelson.

The police arrested several protesters and reported multiple casualties. Videos circulating on social media show protesters throwing batteries, boxes, bottles, and other items at Trump's convoy. In response, law enforcement used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Shortly after this incident, Trump posted on Truth Social: "Just encountered radical leftist thugs in California on my way to collect funds, these people are flooding into our country alongside Biden's open border policy. Our streets are filled with criminals, drug dealers, rapists, and terrorists from all over the world, and it is Biden and Harris who let them in. We must vote against these extreme leftist thugs and corrupt dictators on November 5 to make America great again!"

Given that Trump has recently encountered two shooting incidents (including one where he nearly got hit), this situation is particularly concerning.

There is no doubt that anti-Trump groups and protesters regularly protest his rallies and events, but this incident is more intense than before. Tonight we will focus on further developments in related reports.
