President Trump will hold a rally tonight for Sheriff Joe Lombardo and Adam Laxalt at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casinos. Most folks don’t remember the last time Trump spoke there in 2016 he was almost assassinated. The national press glossed over it fearing it might create sympathy for him while running against Hillary Clinton. At the time Democrats often disrupted Trump’s rallies with violence, beating up Trump supporters inside and outside venues.

Michael Sandford, 19, tried to grab a Metro Officer’s gun at a Trump Rally Saturday. He was quickly arrested and turned over to federal authorities for prosecution. The attempted assassination occurred yesterday at the Trump rally at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Trump rallies have been marred by violent protests outside several events by liberal protesters with Democrats egging them on. Recently at another rally, a man tried to rush the stage Trump was speaking at. Democrats like Hillary Clinton recently claimed Trump was bringing the violence on himself by advocating for a border wall and freezing Muslim refugee programs.

After Trump won the 2016 Presidential election, in December the Obama Administration pled him down and kicked him to of the country. He was British citizen who overstayed his visa.

Today, in Las Vegas Federal Court, U.S. District Judge James Mahan sentenced Michael Steven Sandford, 20, to 1 year and one day in prison for trying to grab a Metro Police Officer’s gun at a rally and shoot President Elect Donald Trump. With time served he will be out in four months. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Schiess argued in favor of a longer sentence. Sandford, was in the U.S. on a tourist visa which expired on August 30, 2015.

The Obama Department of Justice plead Sandford out in June to one count of being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm and one count of impeding and disrupting the orderly conduct of government business and official functions. If Sanford had been convicted of trying to murder and or assassinate a public figure he could have been sentenced to life in prison.
