Putting aside my opinions of trump and fox, I do believe that threat was legitimate. I was watching a few different news channels last night and while idr which one mentioned it, they did say that the secret service had cut his Arizona presser short due to a credible violent threat. Some non-fox new outlets are also reporting on the arrest of the suspect:

There are always copycats and I’m sure there are more than one crazy who is looking to prove they can succeed where another failed.
For sure. The other charges against this particular person include: a DUI, a skipped court date, a hit and run, and failing to register as a sex offender. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial, but if I’m speculating, this guy doesn’t have the best record of character and I don’t think it’s far-fetched to believe he made credible death threats on social media.
