On Monday, fire trucks and people in hazmat suits were seen outside Donald Trump Jr.’s home in Jupiter, Florida.
The reason? According to three sources, the former president’s namesake son received a letter containing an unidentified white powder inside of it.

Unclear What Substance Was, Don Jr. Does Not Appear to Be In Danger
What was the powder?
The Daily Beast reports, “Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, received the letter and opened the envelope—causing the white powder to fly out, according to one of the sources. The Jupiter Police Department did not respond to a request for comment.”
The story continued:
A representative for the former president’s son said it remains unclear what exactly the substance was—but confirmed that Trump Jr.’s life does not appear to be in danger.
“The test results of the substance came up inconclusive on what it was exactly, but officials on the scene do not believe it is deadly,” a spokesperson for Trump Jr. said.
A bizarre note was included in the envelope, referring to alleged John F. Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, other Trump family members, and the Soviet Union.

Not the First Time
“It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,” Donald Trump Jr. told conservative outlet the Daily Caller.
Don Jr. said it was the second time an envelope containing white powder had been sent to him.
“This is now the second time a demented leftist has mailed me a death threat with white powder,” he told MXM News, his news aggregation outlet. “If this happened twice to a prominent Democrat, there would be hearings in Congress, but since my last name is Trump, the media will move on in a day. The hatred the left has for my family knows no bounds.”
He has a point. If this had happened to Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer it would receive far more coverage than this incident, with Democrats likely saying Trump’s mere presence is a threat to democracy and an inspiration to terrorists.
But this is Donald Trump Jr., so expect this news to soon pass.
If Donald Trump senior wins in November, “experts” will wonder why. This would be just one small reason.
Many voters no longer trust the establishment because they see too many double standards. This is just another example.
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.
