Former President Donald Trump went on a posting bender Saturday that included a threat to indict former President Barack Obama for “murder” — in a case that theoretically would implicate Trump as well.

When he’s not holding rallies where he generates headlines about parroting the language of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler or still thinking Obama is the president, or giving interviews along similar lines, Trump is a frequent poster to his Truth Social platform. While it lasts.

Those posts usually take the form of text rants with copious use of ALL CAPS WITH EXCLAMATION POINTS about things like “STOLLEN” elections. But Trump also sometimes posts brief video rants shot at one of his golf properties that are remarkable in their ability to recreate the elements of those text rants.

But Trump also frequently reposts messages from supporters, some of which are even more inflammatory than his own posts.

On Saturday morning, Trump posted and reposted many of his own thoughts, mostly related to the fraud trial that is winding down, and at which he appeared this week to rant to reporters.

But he also reposted a message from conservative pro-Trump attorney Mike Davis, who suggested the ruling against Trump’s presidential immunity defense could allow Trump to indict Obama in the future:

So Democrat judges in DC suddenly pretend President Trump doesn’t enjoy presidential immunity, like all of his predecessors for 250 years?

Does that mean the Trump 47 Justice Department can indict President Obama for his extrajudicial murder of a 16-year-old American citizen?

Davis is referring to the drone strike that killed the 16-year-old son of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen. But under Davis’s theory, Trump would seemingly face a similar risk. Eight days into Trump’s first term, al-Awlaki’s 8-year-old daughter was killed in a U.S. raid.

Trump has just filed an appeal of Judge Tanya Chutkan’s denial of two motions to dismiss from Trump’s team, based on First Amendment and presidential immunity claims.
