An Arizona man has been arrested after posting numerous videos online of himself brandishing rifles, shotguns and a high-capacity AR-15 while threatening to kill Donald Trump and his children.
Manuel Tamayo-Torres posted “numerous lengthy videos” on Facebook threatening Trump and his family and even attended one of the president-elect’s rallies in Arizona, court documents show.
“You’re going to die, your son is going to die,” Tamayo-Torres said in a scary video posted Thursday. “Your whole family is going to die.”
‘This is the reality for you now. This is the only reality you have in your future, dying,” the clip continued. “The Secret Service, the FBI, the CIA and the military are all defenseless.”
Tamayo-Torres was accused of making threats against the president-elect, referred to in court documents as “Individual 1.”
In another video, Tamayo-Torres threatens to shoot Trump before holding up “what appears to be a white AR-15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine in it,” officials said.
Officials also describe in the lawsuits how the Arizona man made threats “almost daily.”
Almost every day, Tamayo-Torres posted videos “where he talks about (Individual 1) and his family kidnapping and sex trafficking his children.”

Even more shocking, Tamayo-Torres even attended a Trump campaign rally in August.

In the video, the man claims that he “observed (Individual 1) and the Secret Service kidnapped his daughter there.”
Officials with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) claim they discovered images on Facebook showing Tamayo-Torres holding a verified arsenal of weapons.
He brandished an AR-15, a rifle and a shotgun in one video, ATF officials allege in the court documents.
Tamayo-Torres was arrested in California after videos showed him around the San Diego area, although charges were filed in Arizona.
This is just one of the latest threats against the president-elect in what has been a tumultuous year for his personal security.
During a visit to part of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Arizona in August, DailyMail.com tipped Trump off that another Arizona man who had made death threats against the Republican was at large.

Trump thanked DailyMail.com for letting him know, saying, “Thanks for telling me.”
Then he said, chuckling, “Let’s get out of here right now!”
It was a surprisingly sharp response, just over a month after the first attempt on his life.
Trump infamously was shot in the ear during a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks struck the president and several others, killing father Corey Comperatore as he shielded his family from incoming fire.
Crooks was killed by the Secret Service shortly after opening fire with an AR-15.
The gruesome meeting led to a review of the Secret Service, and soon afterward the former director, Kimberly Chealte, resigned after being ridiculed by Democrats and Republicans in Congress for the numerous security lapses that day.
On September 15, Trump was again targeted by another potential assassin.

Ryan Routh, 58, hid in the hedges at Trump’s Trump International golf course in West Palm Beach with an AK-47 and cameras before fleeing after being shot at by the Secret Service.
Routh is currently being held at a federal detention center in Miami.
Earlier this month, the Justice Department announced charges related to an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump.
