OPINION| In a stunning turn of discovery, just one week before the shocking assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden appeared to issue a veiled threat against his political rival during an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.
During the interview, which aired on July 7th, 2024, Biden made a series of cryptic remarks that have since raised eyebrows among Trump supporters and political observers alike. When asked about his thoughts on Trump’s potential re-election campaign, Biden responded with a chilling warning: “I’m telling you, something’s gonna happen to that guy. Something big. You just wait and see.”
The Special Operations Division repeatedly made specific requests for resources to protect Trump that were ignored or denied. Guglielmi is trying to pretend that giving them an extra penny when they asked for a dollar is being responsive.

The ominous words sent shockwaves through the political landscape, with many Trump supporters interpreting them as a thinly veiled threat against their beloved leader. Social media was abuzz with speculation and outrage, with some even accusing Biden of having prior knowledge of the assassination attempt.
“Biden knew something was coming,” tweeted @MAGA4Ever. “He practically told Stephanopoulos that Trump was in danger. This is beyond shady.”
Others were quick to point out the timing of Biden’s remarks, coming just days before the shocking event in Pennsylvania. “How could Biden have known something like this was about to happen?” asked @Patriot4Trump. “It’s almost like he had some kind of inside information.”
BREAKING: In a veiled threat, Biden tonight claimed the only reason Trump is ahead in the polls is because he has not been challenged "in a way he's about to be challenged." Biden cryptically implied something ominous is about to befall his GOP nemesis

The White House was quick to deny any wrongdoing, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stating that Biden’s comments were taken out of context and that he was simply expressing his belief that Trump’s re-election campaign would face significant challenges.
“President Biden was not implying anything ominous or threatening towards former President Trump,” said Jean-Pierre. “He was merely expressing his confidence that the American people would reject Trump’s divisive and dangerous policies.”
However, Trump supporters remain unconvinced, with many calling for a thorough investigation into Biden’s remarks and the events leading up to the assassination attempt. “We need answers,” said @AmericaFirst1776. “The American people deserve to know the truth about what Biden knew and when he knew it.”
