A Shocking Website on the Dark Web: "Destroy Trump"
Recently, a disturbing website titled “Destroy Trump” surfaced on the dark web. The site, which claims to have raised over $13,000 out of a $30,000 goal, is gaining attention for its shocking content.
A Terminally Ill Person's Message
The anonymous author of the site begins with an unsettling confession:
"I am terminally ill. I’m going to die soon. I want to do something good for this country and this world."
The message then escalates to reveal a plan to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump. The author claims to possess the "right skills" and "acquaintances" to execute the plan but requests financial assistance to raise $30,000 for the operation.
Plea for Cryptocurrency Donations
The website provides cryptocurrency addresses for donations, accepting Bitcoin and Monero. Despite its claims of raising funds, investigations into the cryptocurrency wallets show no activity. This suggests the site could be a scam, preying on people's emotions or extremist beliefs for financial gain.
Close Calls for Trump
The timing of this website’s appearance is notable, as Trump has faced several threats in the past year. In July, he survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, suffering a minor injury to his ear. In September, Secret Service agents stopped another would-be attacker armed with a rifle near Trump International Golf Club in Florida.
Scams on the Dark Web
The dark web is notorious for hosting scams, including those related to so-called “hitmen” for hire. These schemes often exploit the anonymity of cryptocurrency and encrypted networks to deceive users.
One infamous example is the “Assassination Market,” a site launched in 2014. This platform allowed users to crowdfund bounties on government officials. Its creator claimed that anyone who successfully assassinated a listed figure could claim the funds by providing proof. Notable targets included former President Barack Obama and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
A Disturbing Trend
Websites like "Destroy Trump" highlight the dangerous combination of anonymity, crowdfunding, and extremist ideologies on the dark web. While some are outright scams, their existence underscores the need for vigilance and regulation in the digital age.
Authorities have not commented on this recent site. However, its emergence is a stark reminder of the dark web's potential to harbor unsettling content and the ongoing challenges of monitoring these hidden corners of the internet.
