It appears that the violence against the Trump campaign is now escalating to epic proportions. At a Trump rally in Las Vegas, a British man tried his best to take out the GOP nominee. As the Daily Mail notes:
A British man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab a police officer’s gun and wanted to shoot the billionaire Republican presidential candidate.
Protester Michael Steven Sandford, who appeared in court on Monday, even went to a gun range on Friday so he could learn how to fire a pistol.
The 20-year-old was arrested at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino on Saturday after going for a metro police officer’s gun.
Sandford, who is originally from Surrey and was carrying a UK driver’s licence, had been living illegally for 18 months in New Jersey after his visa expired and had been sleeping in his car.
A secret service report said Sandford told officers he had been planning the Vegas assassination for around 12 months and believed he would die in the process.
He also had tickets for a rally in Phoenix later that day in case the gun grab failed and told officers if Trump ‘were on the street tomorrow, he would try this again’.
There is no word yet on Sandford’s motivations, but we will update this story as it develops.
