Police in Nassau County, New York are investigating a possible security breach after a reported discovery of explosives near the site of former President Donald Trump's rally on Long Island, just hours before his scheduled speech Wednesday evening.
Sources within the Nassau County Police Department allegedly told One America News Network (OANN) journalist James Lalino that officers conducting a routine K9 sweep discovered an explosive device in a vehicle parked near the rally venue. The report comes just three days after a would-be assassin was arrested at Trump's Palm Beach golf club.
According to the Daily Mail, the driver of the car with explosives ran into the woods. According to Lalino’s report on X, the suspect bolted from the car, leaving law enforcement scrambling to locate him.
The bomb scare comes as Trump continues to face heightened security threats. He has largely shifted to indoor venues since an attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, when a would-be attacker was apprehended before getting close to the former president.
If confirmed, the presence of explosives at Wednesday’s event would mark a chilling escalation in the threats surrounding Trump’s public appearances as he continues to campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination. Law enforcement officials have not yet released an official statement, but the incident has put the rally site on high alert.

Who then reports there may be a bomb to the LEOs on site?
If you wanted to disrupt President Trump's event without the long-term incarceration that accompanies actually planting a real bomb, this would be a perfect method.
About the most that could be charged would be making a false report to police, vice attempted assassination of President Trump. Even then, the perp could argue that it was a simple mistake, "My dog trainer fu failed me."

Translation: The Teamsters endorse President Trump.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The International Brotherhood of Teamsters declined Wednesday to endorse Kamala Harris or Donald Trump for president, saying neither candidate had sufficient support from the 1.3 million-member union.
“Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters President Sean M. O’Brien said in a statement. “We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries — and to honor our members’ right to strike — but were unable to secure those pledges.”
Vice President Harris met Monday with a panel of Teamsters, having long courted organized labor and made support for the middle class her central policy goal. Trump also met with a panel of Teamsters and even invited O’Brien to speak at the Republican National Convention, where the union leader railed against corporate greed.
The Teamsters said Wednesday that internal polling of its members showed Trump with an advantage over Harris.
The Teamsters’ choice to not endorse came just weeks ahead of the Nov. 5 election, far later than other large unions such as the AFL-CIO and the United Auto Workers that have chosen to back Harris.

Trump did an outstanding job on the show. He came across as a very likable and funny fellow. We really enjoyed seeing him on the show. Love the belt he was given too!
"Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am." looking forward to 4 years of TRUMP!
