Cops busted a 19-year-old college student at Trump Tower after the Secret Service found a hunting knife and a powerful firework in his backpack, police source said Tuesday.

Alexander Wang, who studies finance at Baruch College, told police he’s a big Donald Trump supporter who just likes to study for school at the billionaire President-elect’s home base.

See?! Trump is inciting violence! Just as the media said.

They just fail to see that it is the left that is getting violent.

did they show the garrote? Or was it just a coil of wire?- the handcuffs is weird- but not unheard of for sexual deviants to use- rope? Who doesn’t carry rope in a backpack? you never know when you might have to save someone from drowning- isn’t there a fountain in the trump tower?

Agreed.

Not that I would have let him through!!! :)

An M80 can do some damage, like blow an arm off.

WHY would He think he could get through is the BIGGEST question.

Though when I Was foreman no a Special Prosecuter’s Grand Jury on Staten Island, I accidentally brought a metal fork with me for lunch and walked right through.

Comforting to know.

I’d tell you what the case was about but then I’d have to try and eliminate 2nddivisionvet and he’d snap my neck like a twig :)

That and it’s illegal to discuss EVER, we were told.

“Inside they found the hunting knife, an M-100 firework, a Swiss Army knife, a flashlight, handcuffs, an 8-foot black rope, a clear water gun, a laptop and a wire typically used to strangle someone called a garrote.”

Sounds like McGyver.

Maybe Soros thought he was dealing with an intelligent person?

Oh well, HE has money to burn, I guess!

He’s a 19 year old liberal. Logic isn’t a part of his thinking process. :)

Yes he does.

But Trump’s private security and the SS have access to plenty of resources as well.

They are protecting the PRESIDENT now.

Are his private bodyguards still allowed around?

“Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find:

- One forty-five caliber automatic
- Two boxes of ammunition
- Four days’ concentrated emergency rations
- One drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine,
vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills
- One miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible
- One hundred dollars in rubles
- One hundred dollars in gold
- Nine packs of chewing gum
- One issue of prophylactics
- Three lipsticks
- Three pair of nylon stockings.

Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”

He’s going to wish he had that stuff when he “visits” Rikers Island. He’s about to get schooling of a different kind.

Well, I would like to think they’re ALWAYS at 100 percent readiness.

But if this jolt helps them be even MORE protective, great.

And I wonder if he can still use his bodyguards now that he’s president. Or just SS.

Included 2nddivisionvet because i have NO CLUE as to any of these questions :)
