"Yeah, because he took to X to say some things about the president. And also, there's this headline in the New York Post that the Iranian state TV posted an image of President Trump at the Butler rally as the Secret Service was whisking him off the stage, instead with the caption, 'This time it will not miss its target,' which is more than a failed threat of assassination against the president, which I'm sure will only serve to piss him off, Roberts replied."

Analysts warned that taunts and threats directed at the U.S. president risk provoking a severe retaliatory response.
