Protesters bring out a guillotine threatening Trump months after he was nearly assassinated: The threats against President Donald Trump have persisted even after his historic return to office, going as far as bringing a guillotine to the protests in Washington DC.
On Monday, Trump delivered a landmark inaugural address, outlining his vision to reverse the policies of his predecessor, Joe Biden.
In his speech, Trump pledged to restore America’s global standing and reinvigorate its values of greatness and freedom.

His swearing-in marked a significant moment in U.S. history, making him the first individual to serve two non-consecutive presidential terms since Grover Cleveland in the late 19th century.
While much of the Capitol celebrated this historic moment, anti-Trump demonstrations in Washington, D.C., painted a darker picture.
Journalist Kassy Akiva captured footage of a small protest where demonstrators displayed a guillotine, a stark and provocative symbol. Protesters also waved flags representing LGBTQ+ pride, Palestine, and anarchism, underscoring the diverse grievances among the group.
The disturbing display recalls recent threats against Trump’s life. In July, an assailant narrowly missed assassinating him in Pennsylvania, and in September, another individual attempted an attack at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course.

“A guillotine has arrived at the anti-Trump protest in DC,” tweeted Akiva, sharing the unsettling footage.
Some users in the comments raised some concerns about the move, asking if it’s even legal to have that.
“I believe that’s punishable by 20 years in prison. Your rules.” said BigMkilo in a comment.
These incidents underscore the challenges Trump faces in ensuring his safety while advancing his agenda. The new administration has expressed a commitment to addressing threats and maintaining security.
Supporters have also urged the swift confirmation of key officials like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Sean Curran, emphasizing their role in safeguarding the president and implementing justice reforms.
As Trump embarks on his mission to “Make America Great Again,” the road ahead remains fraught with resistance and danger. However, the administration’s focus on law and order signals a renewed effort to address such challenges head-on.
President Trump has pledged he will sign an executive orders to end all government censorship to bring back freedom of speech, Trump also said he will declare an national emergency at the southern border to immediately halt all immigrants entering the country.
Team Trump on Monday, closed the CBP one app, that was used for immigrants to enter the U.S legally without waiting the process.
