Presidents and politicians are no strangers to threats and challenges, but it appears this time President Donald Trump has received his most bizarre one yet. A man from Florida has posted a video of himself challenging to fight Trump to the death, preferably while both of them are naked. As expected, the US Secret Service had to intervene and put a stop to the threat.
Kendal Aaron Todd, 42, is the Florida man in question, who posted an 80-second rant against Trump, but what got him arrested was how he escalated into threats to kill the US President. Initially, Todd was just going off on how Trump’s business decisions have hurt “so many reincarnated Jesuses” and now “every single person in the world is cursed” because of that. He also likened Trump to the antichrist.
Todd additionally declared himself the US President for some reason. As expected, the video has been deleted and is virtually nowhere to be found on social media. It didn’t take long before the United States Secret Service caught wind of the issues, and a SWAT team promptly stormed Todd’s whereabouts.
On March 19, Todd was detained and charged in St. Lucie County with a written threat to kill or do bodily harm. His bond was set at $500,000 while authorities are further investigating the matter. Authorities are also keeping a strict watch on Todd over mental health concerns.
Secret Service is notably worried since Donald Trump has been a victim of a previous assassination attempt back in 2024.
“It’s just very concerning for us. Some of the things that have happened in the past to our president. We want to make sure we’re not leaving anything to chance,” explains St. Lucie County Sheriff Richard Del Torro, transcript courtesy of WIONews.
Some People Wanted the Fight to Happen
While the United States Secret Service very much treated Todd’s video seriously, others thought that it was merely an offer. Given the absurdity of the offer, it also appears that perhaps Todd thought it wasn’t something Trump was meant to agree to, even though the fight could’ve been theoretically phenomenal according to the people of Reddit.
“Doesn’t sound like a threat so much as an offer,” according to u/Shadowmant
“We could pay down some national debt if this is on Pay-Per-View,” theorizes u/Stu_Pendisdick
Others were less enthused by the matchup since they were two people that not many wanted to see naked. Meanwhile, Todd’s neighbors were not surprised since, according to them, he’s been acting strange lately. The neighbors had a more reasonable take, stating that what Todd did was not okay to do to anybody, not just Trump.
In any case, Todd, the challenger in question, also promised to cut up Trump with a chainsaw and put his body in acid, which isn’t exactly normal. Todd’s currently in the St. Lucie County jail, likely contemplating how to pay the huge bond.
