'Death Wish for the attacker!' Trump singles out lawmakers over assassination threats

Reacting to several reports that there are indications of multiple attempts on his life that could be in the offing, Donald Trump took to his troubled Truth Social platform late Tuesday night to point out to his would-be attackers it would be a "Death Wish" to even try.

Earlier Tuesday the Trump campaign announced, "President Trump was briefed earlier today by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States ," reported NBC.

In recent days, security around the former president has been ramped up and, in a rare moment of applauding both sides of the aisle, Trump thanked Congress.

"Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again. Not a good situation for anyone. I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before," he wrote.

"Thank you to Congress for unanimously approving far more money to Secret Service - Zero “NO” Votes, strictly bipartisan. Nice to see Republicans and Democrats get together on something. An attack on a former President is a Death Wish for the attacker!" he then added.

Trump's comments come in the wake of two failed attempts on his life, one in Pennsylvania and one in Florida.
