A Florida man was arrested for making strange threats against President Donald Trump, which included challenging him to “fight me naked to the death,” on social media, authorities confirmed to WPBF.
Kendal Aaron Todd, 42, was charged with written threat to kill or do bodily harm. Todd shared an 80-second clip on social media in which he bashed the president.
“Because of Donald Trump, every single person in the world is cursed,” Todd said in the since-deleted clip. “Donald Trump is the Antichrist.”
“Donald Trump has personally made business decisions which have hurt so many different reincarnated Jesuses,” he added.
Todd’s threats were quickly flagged by the United States Secret Service, according to St. Lucie County Sheriff Richard Del Torro.
“He just kept escalating his behavior,” Del Toro said. “He got the attention obviously of the United States Secret Service — and that got our attention.”
Authorities were reportedly keeping tabs on Todd recently due to concerns about his mental health. Neighbors told WPBF that deputies were recently spotted at the suspect’s home and they said he’d been acting strange for some time.
Del Torro said a SWAT team was used to apprehend Todd after the disturbing content was shared online.
“It’s just very concerning for us,” he added. “Some of the things that have happened in the past to our president. We want to make sure we’re not leaving anything to chance.”
Todd’s bond was reportedly set at $500,000, according to WPBF.
