Dulles (United States) (AFP) - US security authorities organizing Donald Trump's inauguration as president next week plan tough barriers against the kinds of jihadist-inspired truck attacks that left dozens dead last year in France and Germany.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Friday the government sees no immediate threats for the January 20 inauguration, during which close to a million people could amass in downtown Washington.

Johnson said US authorities have ramped up security preparations in light of the rise of "lone wolf" type attacks, including recent atrocities in Nice, France and Berlin, Germany in which attackers drove trucks into large crowds.

No security threats? What about the groups who have openly said they want to “shut down” the inauguration, and who claim they will have thousands of people in the city to disrupt the proceedings? That isn’t a security threat? We’ve been talking about this for weeks.

Seeing as how Yahoo! “News” is nothing but a scumbag liberal-agitator propaganda mouthpiece, I’d say extra precautions are very prudent here.

There are people openly calling for his assassination! How can it be claimed that there are no security threats to Trump?

These are the liars who let terrorists IN to murder
Americans, and who brought in incurable disease
to murder Americans, and who released yellow fabrications
to attacks the President-Elect whom Americans selected.

No doubt they are PLANNING disruptions.

Didn't they find a pile of guns in a ravine in D.C. within the past week or so? I'd say that someone was or is planning something.

That should make everyone feel more confident as they have a 0% accuracy rate so far.

No ‘credible’ security threats to Trump inauguration: government fake news.

Fixed it.

A slew of bikers ready to kill or die for, Trump.

It balances out.

Don’t imagine the snowflakes aren’t secretly thinking that they’re all “Hell’s Angels”, either.

Sounds like Trump has been green-lighted by Zero.

I wonder how many normally lawful, but in D.C. unlawful firearms are going to be brought anyway?

There are a lot of people with low confidence that the authorities can protect them by disarming them.

“”Jeh Johnson said Friday the government sees no immediate threats for the January 20 inauguration””

What a stupid statement to make but it covers their butts, I guess. IF it happens, they can always say - WE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT. Good grief! I didn’t know the government gets a “heads up” before a terrorist decides to mow people down with a truck or car.

This can either be a nice inauguration or a prelude to civil war and the end of the left. They can decide.
