"Sniper Position": Observation Post Targeting 'Air Force One' Found Before Trump’s Arrival in Florida
A suspected elevated 'sniper nest' with a direct line of sight to Air Force One was discovered near Palm Beach Airport ahead of Donald Trump’s arrival. The president boarded the plane quickly via built-in stairs under heightened security. No suspects have been arrested, and the FBI is leading the investigation. As a president attempting to broker peace that could cost the global war industry billions, Trump is making enemies who know how to eliminate rivals — as history showed with Kennedy, Rabin, and Anwar Sadat.
A suspected "hunting position" was discovered last Friday near Palm Beach Airport in Florida, with a direct line of sight to Air Force One — just before the arrival of U.S. President Donald Trump.
A major news outlet described the location as a "possible sniper position".
On Sunday, the president arrived at the airport and quickly boarded the aircraft using its built-in stairs instead of the usual external staircase, as part of "enhanced security measures".
So far, no arrests have been made.
The FBI director confirmed that the agency is leading the investigation, which has not yet identified any suspects.
"Before the president’s return to West Palm Beach, the Secret Service discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting platform with a direct line of sight to the Air Force One landing area," said Patel in a statement.
"No suspects were located at the scene.
Since then, the FBI has been leading the investigation and collecting all evidence from the site".
Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said the agency is working closely with the FBI and local law enforcement in Palm Beach.
According to him, agents discovered the "hunting stand" during "pre-arrival security preparations" for Trump’s visit.
"There was no impact on any movements, and no individuals were present at the site," Guglielmi stated.
Following previous assassination attempts against the president, Guglielmi added: "We cannot provide details about the specific items found or their intended purpose, but this incident highlights the importance of our multi-layered security protocols".
Last month, a federal court in Florida convicted Ryan Wesley Routh, 59, who was arrested in September last year after being caught aiming a rifle at President Trump during a golf game at his West Palm Beach golf club.
The assassination attempt took place on September 15 of last year, when Routh hid in bushes near one of the holes on Trump’s golf course for about ten hours.
He carried an SKS semi-automatic rifle, metal plates for protection, and a small camera.
A Secret Service agent spotted him and fired at him before he could shoot.
According to the indictment, Trump was just a few hundred meters away at the time, on the fifth hole of the course.
As a president seeking to broker peace that could cost the global war industry billions in profits, Trump is inevitably creating powerful enemies.
These are adversaries who understand how to remove obstacles — as history has demonstrated with the assassinations of John F.
Kennedy, Yitzhak Rabin, and Anwar Sadat.
The heightened security surrounding Trump reflects not only the immediate threats but also the deeper political and economic forces aligned against his efforts to end conflicts and shift the global order.
