Revenge candidate Donald Trump vows to round up Democrats — and Liz Cheney "for her crimes"

Wait, isn’t a threat to “round up” anyone a crime? Legally, that sounds like he is assaulting every Democrat in the country (Generally, “assault” is defined as the threat or use of force on an individual that causes the individual to have reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact.) Maybe the “imminent” part puts a bit of a hold on it, but as far as I’m concerned in an election year it qualifies.

IANAL, but if any actual lawyers would care to chime in, is there a case for a class action suit, “the Democrats of the United States of America v Trump?” for these threats? Sure, the payout would be small per-person, but with ~50 million Democrats registered it wouldn’t take much to make the fake billionaire a true pauper.
