The 21-year-old man shot and killed by Secret Service agents after allegedly attempting to break into President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in the early hours of Sunday came from a family of “avid Trump supporters,” according to a relative.

The FBI confirmed the suspect was Austin Tucker Martin, who entered the premises at the resort’s north gate armed with a shotgun and a gas canister around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, were not at the Florida residence at the time.

    Agreed. They’re heroes and shouldn’t be dismissed as just crazed nutjobs. But they’re innocent actually. We won’t know the political motivations until the responsible mossad agents are caught.

      We’re all tired of pretending it’s fine for the rich to rape and torture children on our dime. Anyone driven to act is not some villain or violent animal, but someone with a sense of justice, a firearm, and a self destructive lack of inhibition.
