<p>A Florida man is in jail on charges that he threatened President-elect Donald Trump on Facebook.</p> <p>The Secret Service arrested the 59-year-old Krohn on Thursday at his suburban Fort Lauderdale home after agents say he posted at least two threats against Trump. In one, he allegedly wrote that he was glad President Barack Obama hadn't seized his guns "because I see a good use for one now" over a picture of Trump.</p>

Jonathan Krohn took the political world by storm at 2009’s Conservative Political Action Conference when, at just 13 years old, he delivered an impromptu rallying cry for conservatism that became a viral hit and had some pegging him as a future star of the Republican Party. Now 17, Krohn — who went on to write a book, “Defining Conservatism,” that was blurbed by the likes of Newt Gingrich and Bill Bennett — still watches that speech from time to time, but it mostly makes him cringe because, well, he’s not a conservative anymore.

Like so many teenagers, Jonathan Krohn says he cringes when he thinks of some of the deeply uncool things he said when he was 13. Unlike most teenagers, Krohn said those things on camera in a speech at the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference, making him a YouTube sensation. Now? Krohn tells Politico's Patrick Gavin he's not a conservative anymore. He likes gay marriage and Obamacare. He's going to New York University in the fall. He name drops German philosophers. But his old fans can't accept that he's changed. "Come on, I was thirteen," he told Politico. "I was thirteen."

Speaking out as usual.

This is the first time I have heard him rip Obama.

Teen whiz kid Jonathan Krohn speaks with CNN's Kiran Chetry. This kid is the best! I can't get enough!

Appearing on Huckabee.

Much smarter than Obama.

The 13 year-old Conservative Prodigy Jonathan Krohn has now turned 14 -- today (Happy Birthday!)! Krohn wowed CPAC the other day with his speech there. He appeared on Fox and Friends this morning where he predicted a Republican victory in 2012 at the rate President Barack Obama is going. Krohn says he thinks Obama will turn out to be another Jimmy Carter, and that Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal will have an "easy time" winning in 2012. This kid articulates the conservative message in an amazingly clear way. And he has something Republicans need right now besides the...

Remember that 12-year-old girl’s stemwinder on abortion? This kid is an order of magnitude beyond even that. So astoundingly precocious is he, in fact, that I’m a little unnerved after watching it. It’s like seeing a newborn baby suddenly start speaking in complete sentences. If they ever do a remake of “Big” with Tucker Carlson, consider the child’s role cast. Exit question: Krohn in 2040?

Here is video of an amazing young man, Jonathan Krohn, who simply "wowed" em at CPAC yesterday! He is 13 years old and has written a book that sets forth the four key categories of principles that define conservatism: (1) Respect for the Constitution (2) Respect for Life (3) Less Government (4) Personal Responsibility. He only had two minutes to speak at CPAC, but he used them better than most speakers do with 30 minutes! This video was uploaded to YouTube by Doug Krohn, who I assume is closely related (Dad?) to Jonathan. NOTE: In about 22 years, we may...

There is hope for the future, 13 year old Jonathan Krohn brought down the house with this speech at CPAC.
