A man from the US state of Arizona is wanted after threatening on social media to kill former President Donald Trump, the sheriff of Couchs County announced yesterday, reported Reuters, quoted by BTA.
Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, is in Couchis County as part of his campaign tour along the Mexican border
Ronald Lee Sirwood, 66, has multiple warrants out of Wisconsin, the sheriff's office said.
Trump said he hadn't heard Sivrud's name but wasn't too surprised because “I want to do things that are very bad for bad people.
This is another in a series of threats against candidates in the November 5 presidential election.
In early August, a Virginia man was charged with threatening Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump's Democratic rival, and a New Hampshire man was arrested in December 2023 for threatening to kill Republican presidential candidates.

In July, Trump was shot in the ear in an assassination attempt. Then one person was killed and two others were injured.
The US Secret Service came under widespread scrutiny after that shooting, and the agency's director subsequently resigned.
Despite the assassination attempt and new threats, Trump said he has “great respect” to the Secret Service and “the work they do”, adding that they have made mistakes that they will learn from.
