Sounds like a statement or even a warning, but not a threat

this isn’t a threat it’s a promise. Thanks POTUS

Unless Congress makes that law, he’s blowing smoke

👨‍🦰President Trump issued a warning - ok great but no action or anyone put in jail. STOP WITH THE TALK AND TAKE ACTION THAT IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT 'ACTION'

fuckingmoron

Good thing our President has his priorities straight. Don’t worry about that covid stuff...look at these statues!

But if you’re a crook in Trump’s administration that’s ok because you’ll be pardoned & probably given a lifetime pension plus perks.

Good job! What took you so long Trump? Dude, seriously. What took you so long Arrest them all! They are vandalizing and should be arrested ASAP!

LOCK CRIMINAL THUGS UP!!!!!!

That's an easy fix. Don't teardown statues. Use democracy. Libs sometimes make things harder than they are.... SMH...

About time

They should be in jail for vandalism anyways

WoW, & frees felons & liars

Faux News

Hahah he is a joke!!! TraitorTrump

Amen to that.

Fox News is UNWATCHABLE, esp. on weekends! Corona corona corona ... wait! And MORE CORONA!!!!! VirusHoax FakeNewsMedia FauxNews

I’d actually suggest death sentence but ok 10 years.🤷‍♂️

With approaching 140k dead, no administration plan to combat the virus and a looming economic tsunami approaching us, Trumo focuses here.....a total failure as a leader.

10 years are not enough for prison term, It should be 50 years in prison for mongoloids and chips that destroy our country.

How about an automatic 10 yr sentence for Trump failing to address Putin putting a $100,000 bounty on our servicemen and womens heads in Afghanistan. 20 have died in 2019 and only 3 are being investigated, why? And Trump does nothing.

After almost 4 years he still doesn’t know how law is made in America.

Not enough!
