After a Texas sheriff whined about a piece of legislation, Donald Trump’seriously offered to  destroy  the lawmaker who wrote it.Texas Republican Senator Bob Hall represents Rockwall County, and he plans to introduce a bill that prevents police from seizing assets unless there is a conviction first.Basically, the legislation allows suspects who are arrested to keep their property and finances intact until they are formally convicted of their alleged crimes by a court of law.It makes sense, but Rockwall County Sheriff Harold Eavenson complained to Trump at a meeting on Tuesday that Hall s bill isn’t the kind of cooperation he has been demanding. In short, the two bit sheriff thinks he can give orders to lawmakers. In response to Eavenson s whining, Trump asked him to name the lawmaker and offered to  destroy  his career. Everyone else laughed as if Trump was joking. Trump didn’t laugh with them. He was being quite serious.EAVENSON: On asset state forfeiture, we got a state senator in Texas that was talking about introducing legislation to require conviction before we could receive that forfeiture money. And I told him that the cartel would give a monument to him in Mexico if he could get that legislation passed.TRUMP: Who is the’state senator? Do you want to give his name? We ll destroy his career.Here s the video via Twitter.Sheriff tells Trump a lawmaker is pushing legislation he doesn’t wantTrump:  Want to give his name? We ll destroy his career.

Because a state lawmaker plans to introduce a piece of legislation that doesn’t jive with Trump’s agenda and the agenda of a county sheriff, Trump is threatening to  destroy  the man s career. This is the kind of thing that tyrants do. And what s amazing is that this is a state lawmaker. Frankly, Trump’should stay out of local and state affairs of this kind. Surely, the Texas Senate and House can decide if Hall s bill is worthy of passage. Furthermore, voters elected Hall to represent them. If they’don’t like what he is doing they will destroy him by not re-electing him. Trump isn’t only threatening a lawmaker, he is threatening democracy. And he’should not be allowed to get away with it.Read more:Featured image via Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
