Did you know it's illegal to say "I want to kill the president of the United States of America"?
To be considered a threat under 18 U.S.C. § 871, the statement must meet certain criteria:
Objective Test: Would a reasonable person interpret the statement as a serious expression of intent to harm or kill the President?
Subjective Component: Was the threat made with some degree of intent, seriousness, or purpose?

Rich white guy doesn't get in trouble for something? What a crazy world.
