The guy who said he would have "every right to go after" his enemies if elected said he would go after "Election Fraudsters" who "will be sent to prison for long periods" and that "we already know who you are" and then after a warning (DON'T DO IT!) immediately names Zuckerberg but, no, nope, no way, that isn't a threat at all.

It's a different kind of threat.

"If I'm elected President, and if Mark Zuckerberg commits election fraud, then he (like everyone else commits election fraud) will go to jail," is different from:

"If I'm elected President, Mark Zuckerberg will go to jail."

The latter is overtly fascist - I'm going to imprison my political enemies because they are my political enemies. The former is bog-standard for the law-and-order part of a campaign - I'm going to imprison people who break the laws that are my priorities for criminal prosecution.
