A disturbing video allegedly generated by artificial intelligence and linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard reportedly details a plan to assassinate U.S. First Lady Melania Trump. The video, titled "How to kill Melania Trump," is being circulated among regime supporters and highlights her perceived vulnerabilities.
According to reports, the video focuses on Melania Trump's interest in fashion, identifying luxury stores on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, such as Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, and Michael Kors, as potential locations for an attack. The narrative suggests these sites could be exploited by "global freedom fighters."
The video outlines several potential assassination methods. One suggested scenario involves poisoning, with the video specifically mentioning the nerve agent VX as a means to contaminate clothing. Another tactic proposed is bribing members of her staff to gain information about her movements. The video also analyzes her security protocols, noting specific signals like the removal of trash cans or welded manhole covers along her routes.
Beyond Melania Trump, the video also reportedly extends threats to her son, Barron Trump. The report indicates that the video discusses the security detail provided by the U.S. Secret Service, noting Melania's codename is "Muse." It suggests that gaining information through hospital staff or employees in areas she visits could be a way to track her presence. The video also names three stylists on her team, implying they could be susceptible to bribery.
