'He said those words': Ex-GOP insider predicts Trump's big election threat is 'not a joke'

Former Republican insider Rick Wilson has predicted that President Donald Trump wasn't kidding with his election threat this week.

The Lincoln Project co-founder cautioned in his Substack Friday how Trump will often joke or tease about something, throws it out to his MAGA followers and then that manifests into a story from a conservative media outlet about the "controversy of the statement." Then, ultimately, the president's words reveal what's really happening behind the scenes inside the Trump administration, Wilson argued.
