Every time I hear this, I get more disgusted. This is clearly the language of a mob boss. It's a mix of veiled and direct threats to try to sway things in his favor.
And this is just a sample of the audio. I don't know what hoops people jump through to try to justify this behavior from a sitting president. Politicians have been run out of town for less. And yet people still literally worship this guy as a new messiah. And that's not exaggeration.
