"They should probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly," Trump said.

Trump directly threatened a reporter with prosecution when he asked about similar comments made Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The attorney general has promised to crack down on what she calls "hate speech" against conservatives following the assassination of right-wing influence Charlie Kirk, and the president reacted ominously when veteran ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl asked about Bondi's threats.

"They should probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly," Trump said. "It's hate, you have a lot of hate in your heart. Maybe they'll come after ABC. Well, ABC paid me $16 million recently for a form of hate speech, right? Your company paid me $16 million for a form of hate speech. So maybe they'll have to go after you."

If the hatred falls out of the news for five minutes, he has to stoke it up again

Soon fact checking will be a form of violence against his feelings that gets you 5-10 years in prison.
