The Secret Service intercepted an envelope suspected of containing ricin, a lethal poison, sent to President Trump, the service confirmed Tuesday.

The letter was intercepted Monday, the same day ricin-laced mail was sent to the Pentagon.

Another letter with suspicious white powder caused a scare at Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign headquarters in Houston, but the powder turned out not to be hazardous.

The letter targeting Mr. Trump did not reach the White House, the Secret Service said in a statement.

Can anyone be this dumb. Having half a clue how things work I would assume that anything nefarious I put in a letter to anyone important in DC had a high probability of being traced back to me and a zero probability of getting to the official I sent it to.

Secret Service agent asks Trump.
Mr President, to narrow the suspects down, is there anyone you are aware of who hates you and wants you gone?

Trump thinks it over and remembers Leslie Neilson Police Squad Naked Gun line:

No, except for my cable company.

The SS probably has been busy since Trump was elected. This is one incident we heard about. I wonder how many we haven’t heard about?
