Kansas Man Arrested For Threatening to Shoot President Trump at Wichita Rally

A Clearwater, Kansas, man was arrested last week for threatening to shoot President Trump at tonight’s Wichita rally.

President Trump is holding a midterm rally in Wichita, Kansas, on Monday evening for incumbent Senator Roger Marshall.

Trump told reporters earlier he’s returning to Kansas for Marshall because “I won the state by many, many points,” and “I love the people of Kansas.”

“Roger Marshall is one of the finest people in government, as far as I’m concerned,” he said.

“We want to make sure he wins. He’s a great senator. I just want to make sure. Every place I’ve gone to, they’re doing well,” Trump later said, highlighting the success of his rallies.

Last week, a Kansas man, identified as Jaden Read, 24, was arrested for threatening to shoot President Trump at his Wichita rally: “I just got a 308 and 305 round and I’m killing this pedo”.

Per the DOJ: On October 15th, a Crime Stoppers tip led authorities to a Facebook post where Jaden Read made comments in response to a KAKE News article detailing President Trump’s upcoming visit to Wichita, KS on October 19th, 2026. Jaden J. Read’s threatening comments raised concern among the authorities.

“Read posted on Facebook: “Let’s shoot Trump honestly, where’s our shooter? I’m tired of living this money life” and immediately after his first comment, Read posted a second comment on the same KAKE News Article stating: “I just got a 308 and 305 round and I’m killing this pedo”.

“Authorities found Read made two more threating comments in response to a different article by KWCH 12 News discussing President Trump’s upcoming visit. In this threat, Read commented: “Can we shoot him in Kansas please I will myself.” And a minute later Read posted “IK where your speech will be. Already mapped out roofs around. Finna get kirked since yall couldn’t help him”” the DOJ said.

“On October 17th, the U.S. Attorney’s Office – District of Kansas filed a Criminal Complaint against Jaden J. Read, 24, of Clearwater, KS for making Threats Against the President,” the DOJ said.

“Political violence and threats of political violence will not be tolerated.” Said U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser.

“The first Amendment allows for robust disagreement but there are constraints. I caution people to stay within the bounds of constitutionally protected speech,” he said.
