Yet more blatant suppression of free speech, dishonestly pretending that empty vague threats are somehow credible because they're made against the oligarch class.

I will be coming after your executive team personally. Please call me before I do things that are unforgivable and will make your executive team question their life choices.

You think that's empty?

Yes, utterly devoid.

How? Can't you read where he said he would personally take unforgivable actions against them? I'm what world should that be considered empty?

Would you think it was empty if it was said to you by an angry customer? I certainly wouldn't in this country.
