Former President Donald Trump, speaking in Mint Hill, N.C., stated that under his leadership, the United States would issue stern warnings to any foreign nations threatening current, former, or future U.S. presidents, indicating a readiness to retaliate by devastating their cities and countries.

During a campaign event, following a briefing by U.S. intelligence officials about threats from Iran aimed at him, Trump expressed a stark approach to dealing with international threats against American leaders. He criticized the current administration for lacking the forceful stance he believes is necessary to deter such dangers.

According to Trump’s campaign, this intelligence briefing highlighted “real and specific” assassination threats from Iran intended to “destabilize and sow chaos in the United States.” In response to inquiries about these alarming assertions, White House spokesperson John Kirby acknowledged on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that threats against Trump and other former officials have been under watch for some time due to their potential implications.

The timing of Trump’s comments coincided with Vice President Kamala Harris’s scheduled speech in Pittsburgh focusing on economic issues—a primary concern for voters. Amidst discussing these threats, Trump called for thorough investigations by the FBI and Justice Department into Iran’s possible involvement in two assassination attempts against him, though he admitted uncertainty over Iran’s responsibility.

He found it peculiar that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was under heavy security at the U.N. meeting in New York City while threats loomed over Trump as both a former president and a leading figure aiming for re-election. Trump suggested this scenario underscored global adversaries’ fears of his return to office because of his pledge to “make America great again.”
