Palm Beach International Airport is used by Air Force One when President Trump travels home to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, a hunting stand was discovered in the woods near the airport with a direct line of sight to where President Trump disembarks.
Many well-known leftists and Democrats have been ramping up the political rhetoric in support of violence. The possibility of the stand being located in the area for another assassination attempt cannot be dismissed. Thankfully the Secret Service discovered this issue during a proactive proximity sweep of the area.
VIA FOX NEWS – The U.S. Secret Service uncovered a suspicious hunting stand with a direct line of sight to where President Donald Trump exits Air Force One at the Palm Beach International Airport, officials told Fox News Digital.
Agents found the stand on Thursday, and the FBI is now leading an investigation into the discovery. FBI Director Kash Patel said the hunting stand has not yet been connected to any individual.
“Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “No individuals were located at the scene. The FBI has since taken the investigatory lead, flying in resources to collect all evidence from the scene, and deploying our cell phone analytics capabilities.”
USSS chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi also confirmed that the organization is “working closely” with the FBI as well as law enforcement in Palm Beach County. (more)
I found the image in the article coming from “The Conservative Treehouse” quite humorous.
POTUS now forced to take the small staircase on Air Force One, due to heightened security:

Contrast Trump, with multiple assassination attempts, and Biden, who was “forced” to take the small stairs for one reason only. His decrepit senility.
INFURIATING.
If the hunting stand case was serious investigation, the way we would learn about it is by Kash telling us about indictments, who are the people they took into custody and for what charges.
Forensic investigation?? DNA on anything?? Any surveillance cameras around??
Why does Kash have to broadcast every single thing he knows??
Agreed. They should have scoped it out and waited for the user to return. Unreal
Use data like they did with Jan 6 to determine who was in the area
It was reported that the stand appeared to have been there for a few months. If so, how is it great work that the SS only now just found it?

“Hunting Stand” – for all the Whitetail on Southern BLVD, located directly across the street from Palm Beach International Airport, in the median of a major highway… directly facing the Air Force One stairs (200yds). Ps the Secret Service did a GREAT job finding this…
I had lived in West Palm Beach for years, and during Trump’s 1st term, I would drive down Southern Boulevard and just be stunned to see AF1 right there. It’s not a large footprint airport, and it’s close to I-95 and Southern on the end where AF1 parks. This needs review.
Maybe, just maybe it is an actual tree stand there for hunting. I used to hunt out of tree stands and once you get them set in a particular tree they usually end up staying there for several years. Knowing the area around that tree would tell me a lot. In other words if the area is really not a good hunting location then they may have something more going on there.
So clear the other trees (tomorrow), while the FBI finishes up.
Don’t drag this out. Reevaluate this issue for every US airport the Prez lands at.
Sounds like potentially a ‘Trump Golf Course’ thing all over again.
Transfer the land title to the PB airport. DeSantis can speed that through.
Trump should consider using the small stairs anyway.
He seems to be laboring recently with the tall stairs on long trips.
Every time AF1 flies with the POTUS onboard it is always accompanied by multiple support aircraft. Secret Service send advance teams to sweep the area and be already set-up when the President arrives. Big military transport aircraft fly in the presidential limo, secret service vehicles, etc.
Why after all these years have they never figured out they need to also transport a portable “jetway” covered air-stairs?
They always seem to rely on some locally available air-stairs, open to the elements, rain, wind, and bullets or drones. Yes, it provides good video shots for the media circus. But it needlessly endangers the President.
Occasionally, like in China, the locals refuse to provide air-stairs and the POTUS is forced to deplane out the lower stairs in the back.
I’m sure they could make a custom AF1 Presidential jetway roofed with a clear plexiglass bubble so the media can still get their pictures.
Since when is deer hunting allowed in the city of Palm Beach FL? Secondly, I have never seen a deer stand that looked like that, and I have seen lots of deer stands. (Looks like a bale of hay on a limb.) We need a little more detail from the photograph.
Hunters use stands for bow and crossbow hunting as well. Might be restrictions on rifles but not bows.
Maybe it is being used to kill Iguanas since they have an infestation problem.
How much deer hunting do they do at Palm Beach International Airport?
