This morning, Orange Jesus threatened to put Mark Zuckerberg and others in prison if he is elected president.
But no, he's not a fascist and you're not in a cult.

During which time he actually works for the American people, with a team of people around him doing the same.
Compare to the alternative who spends his days vigorously working to undermine democracy and line his own pockets while lying to you about everything imaginable. At least on the days he’s not golfing.

This morning, Orange Jesus threatened to put Mark Zuckerberg and others in prison if he is elected president.
Did he?
He said he would put "Election Fraudsters" in jail. Which is a pretty anodyne thing for a Presidential candidate to say, in general.
He also alluded to his (and others') longstanding belief that the various charitable donations to elections departments and voter outreach programs that are funded (in part) by Zuckerberg's contributions are unlawful. So clearly he's warning his political opponents (like Zuckerberg, he believes) to make darn sure that they don't do anything that can be considered illegal, else he's going after them. But again, that's not an especially unusual type of threat to make - it would be hardly remarkable if a progressive Secretary of State or Attorney General made a statement that there would be zero tolerance for people engaged in, say, election intimidation and that anyone who tried that would be rigorously prosecuted.
It's unusual only in that Trump is mistaken in believing that folks like Zuckerberg are actually committing election fraud (which they are not), but he's not actually threatening to put Zuck in prison if he's elected.

Parsing Trump’s rants, grievances, and assorted word salad is akin to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Focus.

The guy who said he would have "every right to go after" his enemies if elected said he would go after "Election Fraudsters" who "will be sent to prison for long periods" and that "we already know who you are" and then after a warning (DON'T DO IT!) immediately names Zuckerberg but, no, nope, no way, that isn't a threat at all.
My mistake.

It's a different kind of threat.
"If I'm elected President, and if Mark Zuckerberg commits election fraud, then he (like everyone else commits election fraud) will go to jail," is different from:
"If I'm elected President, Mark Zuckerberg will go to jail."
The latter is overtly fascist - I'm going to imprison my political enemies because they are my political enemies. The former is bog-standard for the law-and-order part of a campaign - I'm going to imprison people who break the laws that are my priorities for criminal prosecution.

You left out all the time he spends watching himself on TV and sending nasty tweets.

Here's there quote:
“All I can say is that if I’m elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time,” Trump wrote on Tuesday. “We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!”
I guess Trump will be sending himself to prison for 'long periods' given that he is the greatest "Election Fruadster" of all. What a dolt!
Trump is sounding very confident that he will be crowned King. God forbid.
Republicans are voting for this idiot?

I think the threat was there since he finished his 'tweet' with:
“We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!”
That clearly is a threat aimed at Zuckerberg.

Yes he did. You just want to ignore that he thinks people like Robert Mueller, Jack Smith, and members of the January 6th committee to be election fraudsters. He has said they have interfered with elections. I know you think you are just trying to be fair to Trump and I applaud you for that, but in this case you are just playing dumb.
That is not something any person fit for office would say.

Trump's messaging seems to be effective for BMH, Dope, and Lurker Mom. I'm not looking forward to having a DOJ preoccupied with going after whoever Trump has a grudge against. We have real problems to deal with.

That was when it was a feature, not a bug.
They're going to scream bloody murder if/when a Trey Gowdy is named AG. All that crossing state lines to riot and commit arsons? Federal crimes, baby. Big ones. Lots of "It's only an idea" Antifa types will hopefully start doing hard time.

The slang for knowing you've got something is it not passing the "smell test". Even then, sometimes it's there, but you just aren't going to get it. Trump smells and you know he does. You like the criminal side of him.

this seems misplaced 'what have you trumped for me lately?'
zuck had a major role in the trump 2016 win, and MAGA is clearly alive (but never well) on fakebook.
don must think zuck is falling behind musk in his ability to lose billions by mismanging social media.
or that zuck may not vote for him.
