Kash Patel confirms hunting stand was found with view of Trump's exit path from Air Force One found

 October 20, 2025

Another security scare has surfaced around President Donald Trump, this time at Palm Beach International Airport in Florida.

Reports confirmed by FBI Director Kash Patel reveal that the Secret Service uncovered an elevated hunting stand with a clear view of Trump’s exit path from Air Force One, sparking an FBI investigation into potential threats.

Breitbart reported that before Trump’s arrival in West Palm Beach, the Secret Service, during routine advance security checks, spotted this questionable structure near the landing zone.

Patel took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to break the news with a terse update that got straight to the point.

“USSS spotted a suspicious stand near the AF1 zone in Palm Beach. The FBI is investigating,” Patel posted, signaling that this isn’t just a routine find but a matter demanding serious scrutiny.

Well, no kidding—when a hunting stand pops up with a direct sightline to the president, it’s not exactly a coincidence worth shrugging off.

Investigation Underway, No Suspects Found

Patel further elaborated in a statement to Fox News, painting a clearer picture of the timeline and location of this unsettling discovery.

“Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone... has since taken the investigatory lead regarding the hunting stand,” Patel explained.

While the FBI now heads the probe, it’s telling that no individuals were found at the scene—perhaps a small relief, but hardly a reason to let our guard down.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi chimed in, careful not to spill too many specifics but underscoring the gravity of the situation.

“While we are not able to provide details about the specific items or their intent, this incident underscores the importance of our layered security measures,” Guglielmi stated.

Sure, layered security sounds reassuring, but when suspicious setups keep appearing near Trump, one wonders if those layers are thick enough to counter the persistent dangers.

History of Threats Looms Large

This incident isn’t happening in a vacuum, as Trump has already dodged two assassination attempts that rattled the nation.

On July 13, a shooter in Butler, Pennsylvania, fired from a rooftop, grazing Trump’s ear, while on September 15, another suspect was nabbed near Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach with a rifle in the bushes—a chilling reminder of the risks at play.

In a world where progressive agendas often clash with conservative values, these repeated threats against Trump highlight a deeper unrest, and it’s high time we prioritize safeguarding leaders over political posturing.
