Fire trucks and people wearing hazmat suits were seen on Monday outside Donald Trump Jr.'s home in Jupiter, Florida.
the reason? According to three sources, the former president's son and namesake received a letter containing an unknown white powder inside.

What was the powder?
The Daily Beast reported that Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, received the letter and opened the envelope, sending the white powder flying, according to a source. The Jupiter Police Department did not respond to a request for comment.
The story continued:
A representative for the former president's son said it was still unclear what exactly the substance was, but stressed that Trump Jr.'s life did not appear to be in danger.
A spokesman for Trump Jr. said: “Test results for the substance were inconclusive as to what exactly it was, but officials at the site do not believe it is lethal.”
A curious note was included in the envelope, referring to John F. Kennedy's alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, other members of the Trump family, and the Soviet Union.

Not the first time
“It's become a bit common for this kind of thing to happen,” Donald Trump Jr. told the conservative Daily Caller newspaper.
Don Jr. said this was the second time he had been sent an envelope containing white powder.
“This is the second time a deranged leftist has sent me a death threat using white powder,” he told MXM News, his news aggregation outlet. “If this happened twice to a prominent Democrat, there would be congressional hearings, but since my last name is Trump, the media would move in one day. The left’s hatred for my family knows no bounds.”
He has a point. If this had happened to Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, or Chuck Schumer, it would have received much more coverage than this incident, with Democrats likely to say that Trump's very existence represents a threat to democracy and an inspiration to terrorists.
But this is Donald Trump Jr., so expect this news to pass soon.
If Donald Trump Sr. wins in November, the “experts” will wonder why. This would be just one small reason.
Many voters no longer trust the establishment because they see too many double standards. This is just another example.
It's time to support and share the sources you trust.
