Massachusetts Resident Now Charged With Interstate Trump Assassination Threats

It would seem pretty obvious that if you were going to threaten to assassinate the President of the United States, you probably shouldn't advertise your intent on Facebook. But that's just what a Great Barrington, Massachusetts man did, and now he's in the hoosegow, facing a list of federal charges.

Andrew D. Emerald, 45, was indicted by a federal grand jury on eight counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications. Emerald was arrested this morning and will appear in federal court in Springfield, Mass., at 2:30 p.m. today.
According to the indictment, from May 2025 to July 2025, Emerald intentionally made eight separate Facebook posts in which he threatened to injure President Trump. Specifically, it is alleged that Emerald made the following posts:
May 3, 2025: “When I see to it that Trump is put to death. It will be the the day the purpose creation put me here for beyond creating. My daughter is fulfilled. (because what she is destined to do for the world is far greater than mine, taking out the orange menace!)”
May 13, 2025: “Oh, I’m not just watching!! Either Trump is dead and in the ground by 2026 or I am hunting him down and putting him there. Do you hear that FBI and any other organization that wants to show up at my f****** door? 🚪Put the enemy of the United States in a f****** body bag or I will.”
May 15, 2025: “Cause and effect. Trump being a monster to humanity caused this family suffering, and they might never choose to have children because of him Affect we’re going to f****** kill Trump on public television so the world sees what we do to f****** monsters and then we’re gonna hang him from the Statue of Liberty until his pathetic bloated corpse rots off falls in the ocean, and I swept out the to see with humanities trash 🚮 After what I just heard if Trump is not dead by 2026 I’m going to Mar-a-Lago and I’m going after myself.”
May 15, 2025: “That’s not a threat that’s a f****** promise and I don’t have Trump arrangement syndrome. The bulls*** they made up. I’m going after him for taking my second amendment rights on constitutionally for calling him the Russian asset that he is! Cause and f****** affect!!!’ I’m going after him because I’m an actual f****** patriot. By the way, if there’s any arrangement syndrome caused by Trump it’s what his cult is inflicting on the rest of us!!!! That is going to end up going down in the psychological history books. Including the bulls*** that is Trump arrangement syndrome. I have very good reason to threaten his life and to go after it whether I have my second amendment rights or not. If the people that are supposed to have not gone after him by the new year, I am hear Trump I’m coming for you you little b****.”

Former Coast Guard Officer Arrested for Allegedly Making Numerous Trump Assassination Threats

Threatening the life of the president is a federal felony under 8 U.S.C. § 871 and 18 U.S.C. § 875(c). Each count carries a possible sentence of five years.

This isn't the first or the last threat against President Trump - and we must remember that there were two actual attempts on his life, one of which then-candidate Trump escaped by, literally, a whisker. Here's the thing: This is the United States of America. We don't resolve our individual political differences through assassination. Or at least, we didn't use to; the left seems increasingly inclined towards violence, especially in all things Trump. This is what years of ever-more-unhinged rhetoric from the left have wrought. When Democratic political figures keep comparing a lawfully elected president and his lawfully appointed cabinet and staff to Nazis, as the Gestapo, as irredeemably evil, well, this is the result you can expect. It may even be the result the left was looking for.

This would-be assassin, at least, is behind bars and has been indicted. That's the good news.
