Donald Trump Jr. Receives Letter Containing Death Threat & Unidentified White Powder
Donald Trump Jr. received a letter containing white powder and a death threat on Monday, prompting a hazmat unit and firefighters to rush to his Florida home.
This marks the second time Trump Jr. has received an envelope containing an unknown white substance. According to his spokesperson, Andrew Surabian, “The test results of the substance came up inconclusive on what it was exactly, but officials on the scene do not believe it is deadly.”
The death threat referenced other family members, such as former president Donald Trump, along with Trump’s other children and his niece, Mary Trump.
“It’s time for Mary to hear that Donald and his family have gone up in smoke when the ‘Trump’ plane dives into the Atlantic Ocean,” the letter concluded.
Trump Jr. released a statement to the Daily Caller following the incident.
“It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,” he said. “Clearly, if this happened to a prominent Democrat it wouldn’t be tolerated and would drive news coverage for weeks. The media would blame all Republicans and force them to answer for it. But since it’s me, radical haters on the left will largely get a free pass and the media will barely flinch.”
“It doesn’t matter what your politics are, this type of crap is unacceptable,” Trump Jr. continued. “This is actually the second white power substance envelope that’s been mailed to me. The last time we had this happen, it was during my father’s presidency and my then-wife opened it up with my kids by her side. So, it’s just sad that we live in a society where politics and the left’s hatred of my father would drive people to do such crazy things, but that’s where we are unfortunately.”
Earlier this month, Trump Jr. was handed a $2 million fine and a two-year ban on running a business in New York State in the Trump Organization’s civil fraud trial.
He recently received criticism for a post about Michelle Obama that many deemed to be “racist.”
