...and look who's downplaying Trump threats.

The poster made a false claim.

"All I know is, Trump never talks about Garland nor does he seek revenge against him."

I provided proof that it's not true.

You can't splinter that falsehood into another canard without owning that lie.

Are you really claiming that the Trump DOJ hasn't openly declared their willigness to go after the people who prosecuted him? Did you miss the firings of Garland prosecutors?

Are you really saying that Trump doesn't want to jail Garland? That's another entire level of denial that I just can't fathom from people professed to the fact that Trump a would-be dictator, and the very public knowledge, out of his own mouth and phone, that he is bent on revenge for his prosecutions.

It's worse than fantasy. It's unbelievable fiction that Trump has some affinity for Garland.
