Florida man arrested for threatening Trump on Facebook
73-year-old Glen DeCicco from Florida in the United States was arrested for making threats against President Donald Trump on Facebook, according to Blaze Media.
The police in Florida arrested 73-year-old Glen DeCicco for threats against President Donald Trump that he posted on Facebook. DeCicco was charged with written threats of murder after his posts were reported by users.
The police, in collaboration with the Secret Service, analyzed DeCicco's posts, which led to his arrest. Former FBI agent Stuart Kaplan emphasized that authorities are currently trying to act preventively by identifying potential threats before they materialize.
During interrogation, DeCicco tried to downplay his posts, claiming they were merely "a creative wordplay." Nevertheless, he was detained and placed in jail in Palm Beach County.
"In this day and age, law enforcement is now utilizing proactive measures to get out in front of it. Instead of waiting for someone to actually be in the planning and preparation stage, we're actually trying now to identify those potential individuals as potential targets, opening up investigations," the police emphasized.
America fears Trump's tariffs. "Our customers are worried."
Donald Trump decided to impose tariffs on goods imported to the USA from 180 countries. The rates start at 10%. A 20% tariff was imposed on the European Union, and 34% on China. There is no mention of Russia, Belarus, Cuba, or North Korea on the list. The first, higher tariffs are set to take effect starting Saturday.
According to the "New York Post," some stores in New York are encouraging customers to make quick purchases before the decision comes into effect. They are urging purchases of electronics, home appliances, and cars.
Customers are increasingly concerned that product prices might rise, fearing that companies could take advantage of the situation to push prices even higher, as noted by a 27-year-old salesperson from Flushing PC Richards & Son.
