    Ohio could possibly sue him civilly because of the bomb threats that caused them to shut down schools. That’s the best I got.

    If anyone is hurt over this, then they likely have standing for a civil suit (see Alex Jones).

    Criminal it’s definitely more tricky. Trump will likely get away with telling his followers to storm the capitol, so I doubt “eating cats and dogs” comes close to the same standard.

    Once upon a time, admitting to something like this would have been an impeachable offense. But that’s long sailed as something Congress would fairly enforce.
