PANIC AT EMPTY ESTATE: Armed Man at Mar-a-Lago Declared “Assassin” Despite Trump Being 1,000 Miles Away Watching TV in D.C.
PALM BEACH, FL — A man carrying a firearm near Mar-a-Lago was immediately labeled an “assassin” by allies of Donald Trump this week, despite the former president being safely in Washington, D.C., at the time, reportedly yelling at a television and workshopping new nicknames for inanimate objects.
Supporters quickly took to social media to condemn what they described as a “brazen attempt on Trump’s life,” even as early details confirmed the suspect had arrived at an empty resort containing only three maintenance workers, a confused peacock, and a gift shop clerk who thought the man was there to complain about candle prices.
“This proves they’ll stop at nothing,” said one supporter online. “He could have assassinated Trump if Trump had been there, which he wasn’t, but still.”
Liberals Struggle to Understand How Geography Works Now
Political liberals expressed confusion over the mechanics of the alleged plot, noting several apparent logistical challenges, including the complete absence of the intended target.
“I don’t want to overthink it,” said one voter, “but usually assassination attempts involve the person being assassinated.”
Additional confusion arose when reporters learned the suspect’s family were themselves longtime Trump supporters.
“That’s when things got complicated,” said one analyst. “It’s unusual for a political enemy to attend your rallies, donate to your campaigns, and have your bumper sticker.”
Supporters Say Intent Matters More Than Reality
Undeterred by Trump’s physical absence, supporters insisted the danger was very real in a more philosophical sense.
“Look, just because he wasn’t there doesn’t mean he couldn’t have been there,” said one man outside the gates. “And just because nobody was harmed doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be deeply harmed emotionally.”
Others argued that the empty building may have been part of the plot.
“What if he knew Trump wouldn’t be there?” one supporter asked ominously. “That’s the scariest possibility of all.”
Sympathy Poll Numbers Surge in Locations Where Facts Are Optional
The incident comes as Trump’s polling numbers have reportedly softened, prompting some observers to note the suspiciously convenient timing.
Within hours, fundraising emails described the event as a “near-miss tragedy,” a “brush with destiny,” and “technically an assassination attempt if you don’t get hung up on technicalities.”
One message urged supporters to donate immediately, warning:
“If they can almost threaten him at a place he isn’t, imagine what they could do somewhere he actually is.”
Mar-a-Lago Staff Report Mostly Mild Inconvenience
Employees at the resort described the event as far less dramatic than advertised.
“He mostly just stood around looking lost,” said one worker. “Honestly, the most dangerous thing here that day was the crab salad.”
The peacock declined to comment.
Experts Predict More Attempts on Trump at Locations He Is Not Currently Located
Security analysts now warn that Trump could face similar “threats” at any number of locations he is not present, including:
-
Empty conference rooms
-
Closed golf courses
-
Random Applebee’s locations
One expert noted, “At this point, the safest place for Trump appears to be wherever he already is.”
Nation Reassured That Narrative Remains Fully Operational
Despite the unusual circumstances, supporters remain confident in their interpretation.
“The facts don’t matter,” said one man waving a flag outside the gates. “What matters is how it feels.”
At press time, sources confirmed Trump was safe in Washington, D.C., where he had bravely survived several additional assassination attempts occurring simultaneously at buildings he was also not inside.
