Before he reportedly engaged Miami cops in a firefight in the Trump National Doral lobby last night, Jonathan Oddi was fan of the president’s incendiary anti-CNN posts on Twitter.

A man accused of shouting “anti-Trump rhetoric” and opening fire early Friday in the lobby of Florida’s Trump National Doral Golf Club was hitting the like button on pro-Trump social-media pages up until days before the incident.
Miami-Dade Police officials say Jonathan Oddi, 42, took an American flag from the suburban Miami golf course, draped it over a counter in the resort’s lobby, shouted about President Donald Trump, and fired a gun into the air. He reportedly waited for police to arrive before engaging them in a firefight. He was shot in the lower body and arrested. Police have not yet elaborated on what they described as the “anti-Trump rhetoric” that Oddi allegedly shouted before the attack.
Oddi’s social-media accounts, on which he “liked” a series of Trump’s complaints about CNN, as well as a recent post by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, add further mystery to the case.
Oddi describes himself on LinkedIn as the manager of a gemstone company and former owner of his own investment firm. (The gemstone company was registered to his own Miami address in December, and it is unclear whether it has any other employees.) Within the past week, Oddi used LinkedIn to like Cohen’s post, which linked to a CNBC article that was favorable to the embattled Trump attorney.
