Two assassination attempts couldn't stop Donald Trump from showing up for his supporters in Daytona Beach Friday night.
Trump almost had a third attempt on his life.
A Florida woman threatened Donald Trump with five words that police made her instantly regret.
Secret Service and Volusia Deputies Moved Overnight
Allison Albro posted a selfie Thursday night with a caption so brazen it's almost hard to believe.

"Going to the trump rally in my city tmr so I can shoot him with my glock! wish me luck guys!!" she wrote for her followers to see.
“Shoot him with my glock” is a serious threat.
Federal authorities flagged it within hours.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office Domestic Security Unit and the U.S. Secret Service showed up at her door before the sun came up.
When they got there, Albro told them it was a joke.
She said she doesn't even like guns.
She said she would never hurt anyone.
Deputies searched her home and found no weapons – but the arrest affidavit told a different story: Albro had already scrubbed the post the moment her mother told her it could get her arrested.
She knew exactly what she was doing.
Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood wasn't buying the "joke" defense for a single second.
"We are not going to tolerate threats to assassinate the president," Chitwood said. "Allison Albro, 21, Daytona Beach, is learning that the hard way."

She was booked into the Volusia County Jail and held without bond on the primary charge of making written threats to kill or do bodily injury.
This Is Exactly What the Left Created
Allison Albro didn't decide to post that threat in a vacuum.
The left built this environment.
Celebrities tweeted fantasies about blowing up the White House and faced zero consequences.
Democrat politicians spent years calling Trump a fascist who had to be stopped by any means necessary.
Comedians acted out his murder for laughs on national television.
Every one of them had a hand in what Allison Albro thought was acceptable to post on Instagram.
And she's far from alone.
Since Trump took office, federal authorities have arrested dozens of Americans for social media threats against him.
A Massachusetts man promised to hunt Trump down and bury him.
A Maryland man posted threats against the president and the Secret Service on Facebook.
An Indiana woman demanded the Defense Secretary arrange Trump's "removal ceremony."
A 73-year-old California man vowed he would not rest until Trump was six feet under.
The pattern is identical every time: post the threat, claim it was a joke, discover it wasn't.
Under federal law, threatening the president doesn't require proof of intent to carry it out.
The threat itself is the crime – and it carries up to five years in federal prison.

Chitwood made sure anyone watching understood the stakes.
"I would strongly advise anyone else thinking of posting a 'joke' along these lines to think twice," he said.
That's the right message.
Trump showed up in Daytona Beach Friday night to campaign for his party four days before the midterms.
The Secret Service, FBI, and hundreds of local law enforcement officers made sure he could do it safely.
Allison Albro will have plenty of time to reflect on her "joke" while she waits for her day in court.
