A man in his 20s was arrested after breaking over the fence of US President Donald Trump’s private home, Mar-a-Lago Resort.
According to local media such as the New York Post, the U.S. Secret Service caught Anthony Thomas Reyes (23), who broke into the Mar-a-Lago resort early on the 2nd (local time), and handed him over to police.
“I wanted to preach the gospel to Trump and marry his 18-year-old granddaughter Kai,” said Reyes, who admitted to the crime during a police investigation.
Reyes was also found to have attempted to break into the Mar-a-Lago resort on December 31 last year.
On this day, President Trump was staying in Washington and was confirmed to have been briefed on the incident.
The Mar-a-Lago resort is designated a federal protected area, and visitors can enter after going through rigorous security checks. There are also warning signs everywhere against trespassing.
At the time of the incident, the resort was not accepting visitors, and a Secret Service agent was standing guard.
The Kai Reyes mentioned was the daughter of President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and his ex-wife Vanessa, and it was not confirmed if she was at the Mar-a-Lago resort at the time of the incident.
Kai is currently a high school student at the ‘Benjamin School’ in Jupiter, Florida, and will play golf at the University of Miami in the United States.
She has about 2 million Instagram followers and more than 1 million YouTube subscribers, and has gained popularity by sharing various activities on vlogs, including visits to the White House and watching UFC fights.
She made headlines nationwide last year when she spoke at the Republican National Convention.
At the time, she said, “To me, he’s a normal grandfather. He is a sweet person who takes care of candy and soda without his parents knowing, and is curious about our academic achievements,” he said, expressing his affection and respect for President Trump.
Since then, her popularity has skyrocketed, and her father, Trump Jr., has issued a public warning, saying, “Boys trying to approach her should stay away.”
