'It's my turn': Is Trump facing a new assassination threat?

Fears about Trump's life grew yesterday as the Republican presidential candidate was attending a Bitcoin conference in Nashville when a person posted a direct threat against Trump.

After the picture was posted on the X platform, the account of IreYanna Thomas was suspended by moderators leaving a note; "X suspends accounts which violate the X Rules".

During his address in Tennessee, Trump vowed to make the US the "crypto capital of the planet" and create a bitcoin "strategic reserve".
