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.
