FBI Investigates Tree Stand Found Near Palm Beach Airport

What’s being reported now out of Palm Beach is more than just another “suspicious incident.” It’s a flashing red light — one that should send a chill down the spine of every American who still believes we live in a country that protects its elected leaders, not just in theory, but in practice. The discovery of a hunting stand — yes, an elevated hunting stand — with a direct line of sight to the landing zone of Air Force One where President Donald J. Trump routinely disembarks, isn’t just a footnote in a security briefing. It’s a potential prelude.


Former Deputy DNI and now FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed Sunday that the Secret Service discovered the structure during advance preparations for Trump’s return to Palm Beach. According to his statement, “no individuals were located at the scene,” and now, the FBI has taken the lead in the investigation.

Let’s take a breath and digest that.

A concealed, elevated platform — designed for one purpose: to observe or target from a distance. Positioned precisely where the President of the United States would be most vulnerable — exiting his aircraft, outdoors, in the open, with limited cover. This isn’t paranoia. This is reality. And unfortunately, it’s not the first time.

This now marks the third major security threat against President Trump in under a year:

  • July 13, 2024 – Butler, PA: Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire during a rally. Trump was struck in the ear. A direct assassination attempt.
  • September 15, 2024 – West Palm Beach: Ryan Wesley Routh, now convicted, was caught with an AK-style rifle hidden in the bushes near Trump’s golf course.
  • October 2025 – Palm Beach Airport: An empty elevated stand, aligned with Trump’s Air Force One disembarkation path, discovered by Secret Service.

Patterns don’t lie. They escalate.

The most disturbing part? These aren’t isolated events happening in remote corners of the country. They’re recurring in the same geographic zone, often within striking distance of Trump’s Florida residence, the golf course, and now his airport.

And yet — where is the outrage? Where is the wall-to-wall coverage? Where is the press conference from the Biden DOJ expressing outrage at escalating threats against a president?


Instead, we get antiseptic language from the Secret Service about “layered security,” as if it’s just business as usual to find sniper perches pointed at Trump’s path. Meanwhile, half the legacy media still obsesses over Trump’s tone or his Truth Social posts, while deadly serious plots form around him — again and again.

This isn’t just about Trump. This is about order. It’s about the survival of political stability. Because when one side of the aisle is targeted for literal extermination and the institutional response is shrug and spin, we are no longer in a political disagreement. We are in a cold civil war with occasional live rounds.

If this were Joe Biden, the national press corps would be melting into its microphones. MSNBC would be declaring a national emergency, and Chuck Schumer would be reading poetry on the Senate floor. But because it’s Trump — the man who dared to upset the system — the elevated hunting stand near his aircraft is a passing curiosity.
