The Secret Service and the presidential campaign of Donald Trump are increasing security for the candidate and his rallies after threatening letters were received by Trump family members and violent protests by leftists broke out at a string of several recent Trump rallies.

Donald Trump turns to face down the threat as Secret Service agents and Trump’s personal security rush to protect Trump from a leftist protester who jumped a barricade and reached the back of the stage at a rally in Dayton, Ohio March 12, 2016.

NBC News reported on Friday: Secret Service Tightens Trump’s Security Amidst New Threats

“The Secret Service is ramping up their presence around Donald Trump as the joint terrorism task force investigates a suspicious envelope with powder that was delivered to Trump’s son.”

The NBC report aired before it was revealed that Trump’s sister, federal appeals court judge Maryanne Trump Barry, had also been sent a threatening letter that was received Friday but did not contain any powder.

NBC’s Katy Tur reported the Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating a white powder letter sent to Eric Trump postmarked in Massachusetts demanding his father drop out of the race. Preliminary testing of the powder was negative but the letter reportedly said the next letter would ‘not be fake’.

Tur added the Secret Service and FBI are investigating Anonymous declaring ‘total war’ on Trump and publishing Trump’s Social Security number and other personal information.

The NBC report featured former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino commenting on the assets deployed to protect Trump, saying it tells him Trump faces a “grave threat.”

“You have counter-assault assets, you have counter-sniper assets, this says to me that this is a grave threat.”

The Clinton gang can be very dangerous if they feel threatened.

According the the MSM and Ted Cruz, all Trump has to do is stop the “rhetoric” and all the leftist BLM violence will be cured.

Remember when the Jeremiah Wright acolyte and hate filled Muslim enemy combatant, Barack Hussein Obama had his rallies blocked and his supporters beaten by violent conservatives? - me neither

The left has figured out who they fear the most in the general election.

Waters World last night interviewed some voters. The people he interviewed didn’t even know what day of the week it is. There are so many people voting without a clue. Many do not even know basic things about the country like the words to the National Anthem or when the General Election is held.

I wonder how Cruz explains the Baltimore riots last year. I used to support him, but he has lost my respect over the past few months.

Why isn't the press DEMANDING Hillary and Bernie denounce the violence of their thugs.

Bringing everyone's attention to this article, that gives a pretty clear explanation of why the collar was grabbed:

Gateway Pundit article thread: Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski Prevents Assault on Young Girl by Anti-Trump Rioter

The video by itself: Corey Lewandowski Prevents Assault of Girl at Trump Rally

A guy slipped behind a girl and put his arm around near her breast to cop a feel. Lewandowski appears to grab his shirt collar and steer him away. Didn't touch the guy's neck, arm -- just the shirt collar. Well done!
