US man arrested over Facebook posts threatening to kill Trump

A US man has been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Donald Trump, officials said Wednesday, outlining a series of Facebook posts targeting the US president.
nAndrew Emerald, 45, is said to have written eight messages on the social media platform in which he threatened to injure and kill Trump, who was grazed by a would-be assassin’s bullet in 2024.
n“Either Trump is dead and in the ground by 2026 or I am hunting him down and putting him there,” Emerald allegedly wrote in one post in May 2025.
nIn another expletive-laden post later that month, he apparently threatened to attack Trump’s personal resort in Florida.
n“I’ll make sure you’re at Mar-a-Lago when I burn it to the f****** ground,” Emerald wrote, according to a Justice Department press release.
nThe Massachusetts resident was indicted on eight counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications, a charge that carries up to five years in prison.
nThere have been several similar cases involving social media threats against Trump.
nA Virginia man was sentenced in March to more than two years in prison for sending threats online to kill the US president.
nTrump narrowly escaped an attempt on his life in July 2024 when a gunman opened fire at an election campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
