Warren Jones Crazybull, 64, is accused of making at least nine menacing calls to Trump’s resort in Palm Beach on July 31, according to a criminal complaint.
“Find Trump… I am coming down to Bedminster tomorrow. I am going to down him personally and kill him,” Crazybull is alleged to have said in one call, referring to Trump’s property in New Jersey.
Mar-a-Lago security informed the Secret Service that eight follow-up calls making threats against the 45th president were received from the same number, the court filings charge.
Crazybull, who was taken into custody by the feds back on Aug. 1, also allegedly made similar threats on Facebook.
His arrest came just weeks before Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was nabbed for allegedly trying to assassinate the former president at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sept. 15.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung again blamed rhetoric spread by Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats for the threats, saying that they “are the ones who are deranged.”
“There have been two heinous assassination attempts on President Trump, and their violent rhetoric are directly to blame,” Cheung told NBC News.
“If the Democrats and Kamala Harris do not come out and apologize for their hateful rhetoric and tone down their attacks that have stoked the flames of violence, they are explicitly advocating for and inciting more bloodshed against President Trump,” Cheung told the outlet.
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment, NBC said.
However, Harris has previously condemned such political violence.
