Authorities arrested a man in New York after he threatened to kill anyone that claims to be a democrat and blow up the FBI on social media, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, including FBI agents and New York Police Department officers, arrested Brian Maiorana, 54, early Tuesday at his home on Staten Island.
Maiorana was charged in a federal complaint with threatening to kill and ordering others to kill protesters, law enforcement members and elected officials, including Sen. Chuck Schumer, (D-N.Y.), according to papers filed in the Eastern District of New York.

We don't know who the victim will be, but Trump has unleashed the potential killers and virtually authorized them to go after his enemies. Trump wants his enemies dead, and this is how he'll achieve his objectives. It's obvious. A Democratic politician will be killed and Trump will blame Democrats for the killing, one way or another. He'll lay out a rationale for why a killer HAD to do what he did.
For Trump, it's kill or be killed. He understands that his own life is on the line, so he'd rather have his enemies knocked off to delay the inevitable, and to maybe escape with his life intact.
