The actual transcript:
I'm no fan of Trump but this is unambiguously not a threat. The clear meaning is that she would would change her mind if she was one of the soldiers who would be fighting a war that she supports, not that Trump would threaten her with a gun until she changed her mind.
Just look at that word salad. I bet getting dressed is a real struggle for him
Yeah, how can you even tell whether or not he made a threat? Does he even know?
Its sure as hell is a stupid threatening way to put it.
He could have said something far more professional like, I don't know:
"She constantly wants to go to war but she doesn't understand what that is really like. Put her in the boots of a soldier and see how she holds up and maybe she would have some empathy."
Fuck Trump, he can't even speak like an adult or form a proper statement. There are so many ways this could have been executed in a professional manner. It is a threat regardless of you and the 25+ upvotes. The projection here is this is how a from of punishment for this kind of thing is seen in his world view.
By the way, he also knows jack shit about being in a war or being a soldier. Why don't we also put him in a military uniform and put him on the frontlines. This is fucking Trump just being fucking Trump.
He's Donald Trump. No he couldn't.
