Anger over Epstein Files: Austin Tucker Martin was killed at Mar-a-Lago in Florida after entering Trump's estate. He is said to have been "obsessed" with the Epstein Files and was angry with everything that was revealed. He was reportedly frustrated to see the elite get away with it.

The man who entered Mar-a-Lago in Florida and was shot dead was obsessed with the way Donald Trump's administration was handling the Epstein Files. He also comes from a family of Trump supporters. Austin Tucker Martin was killed on Sunday morning after he entered Trump's property with a shotgun and a gas canister. His family, co-workers and a cousin said that Martin had also shown his appreciation for Trump many times.

Braeden Fields, Martin's cousin, said he was shocked to know about Austin's breaking and entering, and described him as a "quiet" kid who was scared of firearms. "We are big Trump supporters, all of us. Everybody," Fields said, adding Austin was "real quiet, never really talked about anything." Austin's cousin said, "He wouldn’t even hurt an ant. He doesn’t even know how to use a gun."

[“We are big Trump supporters, all of us. Everybody,”]

It's ironic that all the people who tried to kill Trump are ex Trump supporters who finally realized how much he lies rather than the people who always knew Traitorapist Trump was a piece of shit.
