A lunatic from Massachusetts who threatened to viciously kill President Trump in a string of rambling Facebook posts was arrested Wednesday, according to authorities.
Andrew Emerald, 45, allegedly penned eight separate Facebook posts from May 2025 to July 2025 that threatened to injure and kill Trump — including hanging him “from the Statue of Liberty,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Massachusetts.
He was indicted by a federal grand jury for his online threats, prosecutors said.
Emerald, of Great Barrington, first posted on May 3, 2025: “When I see to it that Trump is put to death. It will be the the day the purpose creation put me here for beyond creating. My daughter is fulfilled. (because what she is destined to do for the world is far greater than mine, taking out the orange menace!)”
Another post just two weeks later allegedly read: “we’re going to f—ing kill Trump on public television so the world sees what we do to f—ing monsters.”
“Then we’re gonna hang him from the Statue of Liberty until his pathetic bloated corpse rots off falls in the ocean, and I swept out the to see with humanities trash,” he continued in the disturbing rant.
He also allegedly accused Trump on June 14, 2025 of killing “millions of people by proxy” and being a “monster to f humanity.”
“And I won’t be murdering you I will be executing a monster. I will be fulfilling my constitutional duty to execute a criminal citizen that’s committed high treason just like the constitution tells me too, tells us all f—ing too,” Emerald wrote.
“Trump either you’re dead by 2026 or I’m coming for you personally and if I’m the one that kills you, you’re gonna suffer you little f—ing b—h,” he alarmingly wrote in a July 7, 2025 screed.
Emerald was taken into custody Wednesday morning and charged with eight counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications, according to prosecutors.
He was slated to appear in federal court in Springfield Wednesday afternoon.
Emerald’s Facebook account remained active as of Wednesday evening, with several typo-riddled posts showing the self-ascribed licensed massage therapist railing against Trump and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for “hampering freedom of speech.”
“Unless you want to suffer the same fate for high treason as the s–thead you’re protecting. Then give up Facebook to the global population and stop hampering freedom of speech-if someone actually acts on violence, they’ll get in trouble for doing so,” Edwards wrote, calling out Zuckerberg in May 2025 alongside a screenshot of at least one of his threatening post that had been removed for encouraging violence.
It is unclear how many of Emerald’s rants had been removed by the online platform.
If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
