Original Note:
OP implies that a photo/meme widely being shared is a "threat" to the POTUS. However, similar photos/memes directed toward previous admins are political hyperbole and do not constitute a "true threat." As such, it is protected by 1st Amendment. (Watts v US, 1969). https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1529-true-threats-secret-service-protectees
