A 26-year-old Maryland man has been arrested on attempted murder charges after allegedly plotting to assassinate a top Trump administration official — and actually showing up at his house dressed like he was ready to kill.

Colin Demarco of Rockville was arrested by Arlington County Police following a months-long investigation into his alleged plot to murder Russ Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The disturbed individual was reportedly driven to violence by his rage over Project 2025.

This is what Trump Derangement Syndrome looks like, folks — and it's getting deadly.

According to police reports, Demarco was spotted on August 10th lurking on Vought's porch wearing rubber gloves and a surgical mask. A witness saw the suspicious behavior and reported it to authorities. The investigation revealed Demarco had been planning the attack, allegedly stating: "I am at my wits' end and this might be the final straw. I want to get a gun, head to DC and kill him."

Social media erupted with reactions to the arrest. @WashTimesLocal reported: "A Maryland man has been arrested on attempted murder charges against Russ Vought, one of President Trump's top aides." Meanwhile, @stateofamerica1 noted that "Colin is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder. He allegedly targeted Russ because he was mad over project 2025."

Let's be crystal clear about what happened here: a radicalized leftist, whipped into a frenzy by the mainstream media's hysterical coverage of Project 2025, decided the solution was political assassination. This is the direct result of Democrats and their media allies demonizing Trump officials as "threats to democracy."

Russ Vought, who also served in Trump's first administration, has been a key architect of government efficiency reforms and constitutional governance. Apparently, that was enough to put a target on his back from the radical left.

The question every patriot should be asking is: how many more Colin Demarcos are out there, radicalized by left-wing propaganda and ready to turn their political anger into violence? The mainstream media spent years calling Trump supporters "dangerous," but once again, it's the left that's actually trying to kill people.

How many more assassination attempts will it take before we acknowledge the real source of political violence in America?

The fact that he showed up masked and gloved shows this was premeditated. This guy needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - no plea deals!

Unfortunately with these liberal DAs, he'll probably get a slap on the wrist.

100% agree. We need to send a message that political violence won't be tolerated.

This is exactly what happens when the media constantly demonizes Trump and his team. The rhetoric from the left has gotten completely out of hand and is literally putting lives at risk.

Absolutely right. They've been pushing violence with their inflammatory language for years.

Thank God they caught this lunatic before he could carry out his plan. How many more deranged leftists are out there planning similar attacks?
