Threatening the president of the United States is a class E felony. The Secret Service investigates suspected violations and monitors those who have a history of threatening the president.
Under U.S. law 18 U.S.C. § 879, “whoever knowingly and willfully threatens to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon” the president or anyone else protected by the Secret Service can be fined, imprisoned for up to five years or get the package deal of a fine plus jail time.

Maybe I’m over reacting, but I find this particularly heinous in light of the two recent shootings!
This looks like threatening the life of our POTUS to me!
Hopefully, they haven’t put this idea into some nutballs head to try it!
