A FLORIDA man has been arrested after cops accused him of making “violent” threats against President Donald Trump on social media.

Shannon Atkins, 46, allegedly wrote on Facebook a day before Trump’s inauguration: “America needs one good bullet to be saved.”

Several others disturbing online posts were also uncovered from January 19, according to West Palm Beach police.

Reportedly referencing the Republican, one said: “I’ve been banned from X because I said I hope and pray someone kills him.

“History is supposed to repeat itself. We haven’t had an assassination in years.”

A further concerning post from the same account allegedly belonging to Atkins read: “Bullets please. Please Jesus! Save America”.

The caption was in response to an image of a meme which described inauguration day as a “day of mourning for USA”.

Shortly before his eventual arrest, Atkins also reposted a meme showing Trump with his late first wife Ivanka.

A line above the image read: “I hope they get back together soon.”

West Palm Beach Police Chief Tony Araujo said at a news conference: “That gives you a flavor of some of the posts that this gentleman posted.”

He added that the posts showed a “violent rhetoric”.

Atkins was caught and detained on Friday night after a tip off to the FBI threat center, police said in a news release.

He was tracked down at around 7:30pm as officers conducted a traffic stop.

He was in possession of three bags of cocaine at the time of his arrest, officers said.

Along with the drug charge he also faces one count of written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism which is a second-degree felony.

He was being held without bond as of Saturday at the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Main Detention Center.

Atkins allegedly admitted he was behind the social media posts but claimed he was “joking”.

Police chief Araujo responded by saying: “Folks, this is not a joke. Nothing of that sort is a joke.

“In today’s climate, you really can’t say things like this.

“We have incident after incident, example after example of when these threats become real. And we take these very seriously.”

Atkins is believed to live just a few miles from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach.

He has voted Democratic since 2008, according to registration records.

The Secret Service are now set to determine whether they pursue additional, federal charges, West Palm Beach police said.

It comes as a second man has also been arrested over alleged threats to Trump’s life.

The FBI said 23-year-old Douglas Thrams from Goshen, Indiana made a series of TikTok videos urging attacks on the government.

In one, Thrams said Trump needed to be killed, according to an FBI agent in a court filing.

He has been charged with using interstate commerce to make threats.

The FBI and Secret Service have been on high alert for months after Trump was the victim of two separate assassination plots in 2024.

One saw the president shot in the ear by shooter Thomas Crooks at a pre-election rally in Pennsylvania.

A second attempt on his life was narrowly avoided when Ryan Routh was seen by a Secret Service agent hiding in the bushes with a rifle at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.

The packs were previously selling for £10, but now they’re “better than half price”.

Facebook

One savvy shopper has taken to Facebook to spread the word.

She said: “Pampers nappies (all sizes) down from £10 to £4. Asda.”

The shopper attached a photo of the bargain featuring a tag which reads: “Price Drop. Better than Half Price.”

And shows the new price of the Pampers Baby Dry Nappy which appears to come in different sizes.

Thousands of shoppers have taken to the comment section of the Facebook post to share their excitement.

One person said: “Been stocking up the past week haha.”

While another tagged a loved one and said: “You’ve probably already seen it but – bargain.”

Followed by a third who questioned the offer: “They should be £4 anyway how come own brands can sell for around £4 but pampers more than double the price. Makes no sense.”

According to Pamper, this product is “tested and certified according to Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX”.

TRAITORS fans are complaining to Ofcom after a fan-favourite player was banished before the winners were announced.

Last night, BBC One‘s hit reality show, The Traitors, ended in the most epic way when two Faithfuls won equal shares of £94,000.

Fans are keen to see Alexander pop up in other TV shows after his stint on The Traitors[/caption]

Jake and Leanne, both 28, went on to scoop the prize money after revealing they were both Faithful.

This came after an explosive episode that saw Traitor Charlotte booted out of the show before Alexander was banished, and Francesca was axed.

But it was Alexander’s banishing that really got fans riled up and angry.

Some fans were even quick to pen complaints to Ofcom – or so they claimed.

One viewer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a screen grab of an Ofcom complaint form.

In the reason for their complaint, they wrote: “They’re being mean to Alexander.”

Someone replied “so real” to the tweet, clearly in agreement.

Another person agreed with complaining to Ofcom when they joked: “Alexander I am sorry these people can’t be trusted, i am contacting ofcom.”

A second person echoed: “I’m writing to OFCOM about the banishment of Alexander and Frankie so that the HEINOUS Leanne and Jake could win.”

FANS ‘COMPLAIN’ TO OFCOM

“How do i complain to ofcom on alexander’s behalf?” asked a third.

While a fourth swooned over him, writing: “The kindest, most unluckiest player we’ve seen on The Traitors, you did the country well Alexander!”

And a fifth sweetly penned: “Poor Alexander. Proof again that the good guys don’t always win. Gutted on his behalf.”

Alexander fast became a favourite on the hit BBC show, with many fans and viewers growing fond of the former British diplomat.

ALEXANDER’S GRATITUDE

Speaking to The Mirror after his Traitors stint, Alexander expressed his gratitude for all of the support and love he has received since appearing on the show.

“I’m so grateful for all the support I’ve had during this,” he said.

“It was quite an intense process because I got off the train and then came back into the game only two and a half weeks ago.

“It’s been made so much more enjoyable because of all the support out there and I’m enormously grateful for it, it really means a lot,” he said.

Elsewhere in his chat with the publication, Alexander revealed his relationship status amid increased interest in him from women online.

“I am still single… I’ll probably leave it there,” he told the outlet.

SUNDERLAND star Jobe Bellingham is being chased by two German giants.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen sent scouts to watch the midfielder, 19,  in the Championship promotion-chasers’ win at Derby on Tuesday.

Dortmund helped catapult big brother Jude, 21, to superstar status with Real Madrid and England.

The Bundesliga club want to make it a family double with top spy Bastian Schulz at Pride Park to see Jobe in action.

But title-chasing Leverkusen are also serious rivals and may offer a different route to stardom with scout Lukas Schmitz at the Rams clash, too.

Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen are flying high at home and abroad and would offer Jobe the chance to step out of global star Jude’s footsteps — which could appeal to the Black Cats dynamo.

Jobe moved to the Stadium of Light in 2023 for £3million and has already been linked with a string of Premier League sides and could move in this month’s window.

But the £20m-rated goalscoring midfielder would prefer to see out Sunderland’s bid for promotion to the top flight and then move in the summer.

Meanwhile, the new England boss Thomas Tuchel is prepared to look outside the Prem for new talent.

The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich chief has already sent trusted No 2 Anthony Barry to see Jobe and his fellow Championship star James Trafford ahead of possible selection.

Barry went to watch Burnley keeper Trafford, 22, when he saved two late penalties against Sunderland last week.

And he is in contention for a senior Three Lions call-up — despite being relegated from the Prem with Clarets last year.

Tuchel and Barry now plan to see as many rising stars as possible, even if that means going outside the main Premier League stage.

BRUNO FERNANDES backed Ruben Amorim’s blast at his stumbling stars and stressed: You’ve got to have the balls to play for Manchester United.

Boss Amorim caused a storm last week when he branded United’s fall-guys the worst side in the club’s history.

Ruben Amorim’s astonishing blast ‘inspired’ Fernandes[/caption]

He later admitted he went too far — yet Fernandes reckons he was bang on.

And the Red Devils skipper said: “The reality is to play here you have to have that pressure, you have to have the balls to play for this club — that is what it is.

“You have to feel that in every moment in every game it is a new chance to bring us back to the position we deserve.

“Unfortunately for us this season there have been too many ups and downs and every time we look like getting there, we get punched again and go down.

“What we have to do is every time we take a punch and go down, we must get up and try to punch back.”

Fernandes certainly did that with his last-gasp winner in a dramatic Europa League clash with Rangers on Thursday.

And he admitted Amorim’s outburst after last weekend’s 3-1 loss to Brighton inspired him to those final-second heroics.

Fernandes added: “I don’t want to hear my manager saying certain things about the team because I know he doesn’t feel it.

“But he made himself part of that and when the manager makes himself part of what he’s saying, no one can get angry or disappointed by it.

“When he says ‘the worst team in Manchester’, he speaks about the position we are in and when you look at where we are in the league we ARE in the worst position we’ve ever been.

“So you have to take it, that’s the reality unfortunately. We are in this position for a  long time and the club doesn’t belong there.

“But we have to accept that and understand we need to push ourselves to much bigger things and higher positions.”

LUCAS BERGVALL reckons his rapid rise at injury-ravaged Tottenham shows he was right to snub Barcelona.

The Swede, 18, looked set to join the LaLiga giants last January but opted for North London at the eleventh hour.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have struggled greatly this season[/caption]

And one key reason for the change of heart was a feeling that his chances of getting game-time were higher at Spurs.

Bergvall officially moved from Djurgarden in July for £8.5million — and is set to make his 27th appearance of the season in today’s Premier League clash with Leicester.

He has started five of Spurs’ last six games, netting his first goal for the club in a 1-0 win over Liverpool earlier this month, in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.

Bergvall said: “When I decided, I thought that Tottenham was the best club for me. It is a great club with good ambitions.

“I feel I am getting better every day. Training with all the boys and all the staff, I’m getting used to it.

“It’s not an easy change coming from the Swedish league.

“Everything is different. The running, the physical part… everything.”

There was a lot of excitement around Bergvall when he first arrived, particularly after rejecting a club as mighty as Barca.

His new team-mate Pape Matar Sarr added to the hype in August when asked which of the club’s summer signings had impressed him most.

The Senegal star — who is a doubt for today’s game — said: “Lucas. He is a really great player.

“I really love his style. He’s never under pressure when he’s on the ball. Technically, he’s fantastic. He’s bound to be one of the world’s top players. He’s got all the assets. With work, he’ll get to the very top.”

It was some appraisal from the 22-year-old and, in truth, it took a little bit of time for Bergvall to live up to it with some underwhelming early-season  displays as he got to grips with his new environment.

In November’s 3-2 defeat against Galatasaray, for example, he was guilty of holding on to the ball too long in the lead-up to the Turkish hosts’ second goal.

But he kept racking up the substitute appearances and making the odd start here and there, learning, improving, adapting, before really kicking on over the last six weeks.

Bergvall’s breakthrough moment came against Liverpool when he netted the only goal to give Spurs a precious lead going into the second leg at Anfield a week on Thursday.

Since then, he has been a regular name in Postecoglou’s starting XI.

Spurs’ injury crisis boosted his chances of playing but there have times when he has been picked ahead of the likes of England star James Maddison purely on form.

Bergvall looked exhausted as he dropped to the turf at the end of Thursday’s crucial 3-2 win over Hoffenheim in the Europa League.

That victory means a top-eight spot and a path straight into the last 16, without having to worry about a pesky play-off next month, is within Spurs’ grasp, with Thursday’s final group game against Elfsborg to come.

But it was also a vital victory after a horror run of results which saw Spurs win just one of their last ten Premier League games, plummeting down the table and even sparking talk of the club finding themselves dragged into   relegation scrap.

And Bergvall feels it is vital to take the boost in morale from Hoffenheim into today’s game against the struggling Foxes and rediscover get that winning feeling in the league once more.

Three points would also ease the considerable pressure on Aussie manager Postecoglou, who is facing a testing time midway through his second season at Tottenham.

Bergvall added: “It was an important game in Europe, we needed to win to keep going.

“For the confidence too, we’ve had a tough time in the last few weeks, so it was really important.

“It’s difficult. We have 11 or 12 fit senior players, maybe more, it’s a tough period. We just have to keep going and fight.

“Especially now in tough times, when we have a lot of injuries, everyone needs to perform.

“We have to keep going. We don’t have any other option. He’s the coach and of course we work for him.”

BRUNO FERNANDES wants to lead Manchester United into a new era of last-gasp Fergie Time heroics.

And if he does, it will answer the one question which had him stumped after his midweek Europa League late supershow: Whether Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim wears a watch.

In two triumphant decades under Sir Alex Ferguson, even those with only a passing interest in football had no doubt.

Barely a week went by without football’s greatest gaffer very publicly checking his wrist to make a point about stoppage time — and so often it ended with a late goal for United.

There has been precious little of it in the decade since Ferguson’s final farewell — but now playmaker  Fernandes has made it his mission to bring them back under the latest man to fill Fergie’s boots.

There have already been murmurings of it in just 16 games with the Portuguese manager in charge — five late-show strikes, in fact.

And after his 92nd-minute goal to beat Scottish giants Rangers made him the latest name on the list — in every respect — Fernandes knew the subject of United’s stoppage-time history was coming.

As a keen student of the club’s past, yes, of course he was well aware of Fergie Time.

But no, there hadn’t been enough of it under Amorim for him to know if his boss even had a watch, never mind had cause to check it in front of any watching official.

Yet as he vowed to turn grand finales from exception to the norm once more, he will not be in the dark for much longer.

It might not be good for the nerves, but that is part of the deal for any club with pretensions of greatness. And United certainly have plenty of them.

Fernandes, 30, admitted: “I think that, ever since I have been at this club, that has always been a part of things.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s sides were famous for late comebacks and winning goals[/caption]

“We always talk about Sir Alex’s time, you know, when he looks at his watch and United will grab a goal for sure.

“I don’t know if the manager has a watch to look at, but obviously we need to have that belief and even more like this — because we knew we still had two or three minutes to play.

“So you have to try and go forward to get one because you  can only win games where you’re at this club — nothing less is expected of you.

“Of course,  we know we are not in the position this club was many, many years ago and have a long, long way to go as a team — but we are on our path.

“We know it won’t be as easy as they made it look, because obviously they had great players in the past at this club and a great manager who led the club to many trophies.

“But we have to make our own way. And as tough as it is, and as difficult as it can be, we are going to fight for this club to try and make it back.”

In fairness, United have come up with the goods in the dying embers of the game more than once this season.

Admittedly, not quite so dramatically as against  Rangers —  but late enough nonetheless at Manchester City and Liverpool and at home to struggling Southampton in the Premier League.

All thanks to Ivory Coast winger Amad Diallo,  as well.

Oh, plus a late winner over Czech side Viktoria Plzen from Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund a fortnight before Christmas.

It’s the games in between that have been the problem, powder-puff defeats to the likes of Wolves, Bournemouth and Brighton.

The last of them finally pushed Amorim over the edge, as the affable gaffer gave way to a steam-coming-out-of-his-ears attack dog.

So furious that he smashed a television on the dressing-room wall and slammed his flops as the worst United team in history.

When the red mist cleared, Amorim relented and admitted maybe he should have taken a breath before sounding off.

Yet far from taking the huff, Fernandes was right behind his fellow countryman.

He added: “I am pretty sure it was in a moment of rage.

“I am Portuguese and I know that pretty quickly the blood comes up, so it’s just in that moment.

“I was here with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, one of the calmest people I’ve met, and he had this sometimes, too.

“As a manager you depend on the results and sometimes you need to have these kinds of words to your players.

“It wasn’t anything out of context — or something we didn’t deserve in  the moment.”

The challenge now is to make sure there is no cause for them again…
