Authorities in Palm Beach County, Florida, responded to Donald Trump Jr.s home Monday after he was sent an envelope containing a death threat and white powder.
The response by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was first reported by The Daily Beast. A spokesperson for the former president's son confirmed the incident to NBC News.
The spokesperson said that test results to identify the white substance were inconclusive but that officials on the scene did not believe it was deadly. Reached for comment, a spokesperson for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue referred NBC News to the Secret Service, which declined to comment.
In an interview with The Daily Caller, Trump Jr. said the envelope was the second white powder substance envelope thats been mailed to him.

(70,285 posts)I agree that things like this should NOT happen to anyone.
Yet, Jr thinks if happened to a Dem it would drive news coverage for weeks. I doubt that. IMHO

..............Its just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens, Donald Trump Jr. told right-wing publication the Daily Caller, claiming that it was the second envelope containing white powder that has been mailed to him in recent years.
Clearly, if this happened to a prominent Democrat it wouldnt be tolerated and would drive news coverage for weeks. The media would blame all Republicans and force them to answer for it, But since its me, radical haters on the left will largely get a free pass and the media will barely flinch.

(36,132 posts)its Postal Inspection Service should be able to confirm that the envelope went through the mail service.
If so, it's a federal crime to use the postal service to create a false flag of threat.

(814 posts)You don't send white powder along with a card explaining that you want to kill the person. I'm pretty sure that would defeat the purpose of the white powder. It's another backwards "B" by somebody of limited intelligence.

Trump has done his best to make these people targets - putting them in danger.
Until they make a sincere effort to stop that, I hope Don Jr gets more powder. It will confuse the heck out of him.
Every time they complain, someone should call them out.
