A 23-year-old Indiana man, Douglas Thrams, has been arrested for allegedly threatening President Donald Trump and promoting anti-government violence on TikTok, according to authorities.
Thrams reportedly posted a series of videos between Monday and Wednesday, during which he made explicit threats. In one video, he was quoted saying, “Every US government building needs to be bombed immediately.” Referring to Trump, he added, “He needs to be assassinated, and this time, don’t… miss.”
The criminal complaint also highlighted a video where Thrams posed with a rifle, tapping the weapon while delivering his threats.
An FBI agent revealed in an affidavit that Thrams’ threats included references to violent actions against government institutions and individuals.
This arrest follows two assassination attempts on Trump last year, including one at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he sustained a minor injury to his ear.
Thrams was apprehended on Thursday and charged with making “interstate communications with a threat to injure,” a federal offense. The case underscores the seriousness with which authorities handle threats against public figures and government institutions.
