This is downright scary -- it's somewhat more serious than Trump's usual twitter tantrum, and it behooves us all to read the entire thread. Here's the crux:
Given the emotional maturity of his base, he's just painted a big target on Schiff's back: his followers will take this as licence to go gunning for, not only Schiff, but anyone who participates in the impeachment hearings.
I've already seen comments to the effect of "Oh, it's just Trump having a tantrum." No -- he's calling for the trial and execution of a sitting member of Congress for doing his constitutional duty.
Oh, and notice the phrasing: I want him tried. All that's missing is the royal "we".
Read the whole thing.
(The comments at Trump's Twitter account are not sympathetic.)
His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber. He wrote down and read terrible things, then said it was from the mouth of the President of the United States. I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason.....
