'We can't write these tweets off as just hyperbole or political banter,' said former Justice Department official Mary McCord.

Noting that the president's tweets came just a day after he issued guidance for"reopening America" that"clearly deferred decision-making to state officials," McCord said Trump had chosen to"undercut his own guidance by calling for criminal acts against the governors for not opening fast enough."

Under U.S. Code, someone who"incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof" can face heavy fines and even imprisonment for up to 10 years.

LiberateAmerica

RealDLHughley MonstersDoNotHaveSouls TheseAreTheUnitedStatesOfInsanity TrumpIsAmericasGreatestDownfall

realDonaldTrump was impeached by the House. The Senate allowed politics to interfere with performing their duty to protect the country. Now thousands are dying and Trump is encouraging insurrection. The USA has never been in a more precarious situation.

I know we are all thinking it....

Trump Public Enemy 1

Lock him up!

REPORT Trump's Tweet Trump must be suspended from Tweeter for -Inciting riots -Promoting dangerous behaviors & self-harm

Hmmmmm Perhaps a committee shall be formed and millions upon millions spent to look into this. Fetch the Schumiffelosi. It’ll do such things.

He wants to liberate the virus.

I took that tweet as he was saying at the POLLS not sure how it got twisted to this extreme. Must be DTS at work again.

God is the only one who can bring peace in a time of trouble. Pray! Pray! And pray some more! Let thy will be done.

Lock the moron up to save America!

He knows what he’s doing here. He will distract you from what he cannot do

He claims his Twitter account is official WH. Press releases. Asked on that statement alone his call to arms of citizens bs governors is a threat of violence towards other US citizens and his account should be closed based on rules and policies of Twitter Twitter

Nuremberg trials in the future?

Can use the C word yet?

WELCOME TO MY DELIBERATE NSA POPULATION CONTROL TRUMPANDEMIC ! AS PROMISED I'VE MADE AMERIKKKA. 1 GREAT IN HATE AND-

He basically breaks the law left and right, but no one seems to care. He is destroying our country. Think that people will care when his most rabid, racist, misogynist, homophobic, koolaid drinking followers take to the streets and start murdering people who speak out?

We need to liberate this country from Trump! They want to talk about tyranny? They're so blind they can't find their own dicks in the dark.

Trump is acting like a terrorist with his followers as human shields

Good. Don't need a nanny state telling us how to keep ourselves safe. Get out of our lives already.

Why is this man still office and who’s fault is it? Is anyone surprised? He has been consistently emboldened by all this so the question is, what is America going to do about it? Schiff was consistently and passionately saying this. Rep or Dem, it’s the same Union

does he get to stay pressi if there's a civil war? he'd do it if so...

Trump should be arrested. McConnell + all GOP Would have completely FLIPPED if Obama did anything Trump has done

It’s pitch perfect. Some of the Governors have lost their minds.

Our president is causing nothing but chaos. This is something America does not need is chaos during this crisis. Could someone please tell our president to stop causing chaos?

Twitler call on Gestapo volunteers

Jack, are you listening? Time to zero out Trump's Tweet account. Please save our country and it's people.

The swamp can't take we the people taking back our country !

He wants to make a point to Governors that his power is total.

The man has lost it.

He needs to be removed.

To the people protesting: Do you ever stop and think that what you're doing could elongate the restrictions and that your actions might be disrespectful to healthcare workers? Fair questions. protests TrumpVirus

President Trump is the boss!

Add it to the list of indictments that he needs to stand trail for.

Jonathan Karl: Trump attacks us in public, also courts us in privateABC News' Chief WH correspondent Jonathan Karl joins Morning Joe to discuss the president's daily briefings and the difficulties White House reporters face. Morning_Joe I think this guy likes the 'courting' more than he likes being an actual journo... Most of them pretty much let a bloated orange psychopath abuse them + lie to them every day + don't say boo about it. But there's always a book to plug.🙄 Morning_Joe I think the reporters are failing the American people nearly as much as this president is. Morning_Joe Just did not get jonkarl take on press briefings. He at one point said trump told ppl 2 'knock it off' when disregarding social distancing- which he never did, said he could interpret trump's meanings, defended the awful job most reporters do in the press briefings?

John Kerry: New Trump environmental rules will 'kill more Americans'Former Secretary of State John Kerry charged Thursday that the Trump administration was using the coronavirus pandemic as a cover to weaken key environmental regulations that will “kill more Americans.” Kerry 2020! Kerry a typical Trump bashing Democrat. I have never seen or heard anything from Democrats touting the good they have done. They have blocked the stimulus monies so they could put in non stimulus demands forced SBA to run out of money. Isn't this is the same John Kerry that had to drop out of a presidential race because he couldn't keep his pants up around women other than his wife. Are we supposed to trust him after his wife couldn't trust him outside the house.
