Donald Trump made a claim at his rally on Saturday that had people worrying about what he meant.

Trump, who spoke in Mosinee, Wisconsin, was called out by CNN for a "lie" about transgender kids. But he also made another statement that caught the attention of political observers on social media, including actress Bette Midler.

Former President Donald Trump has a particular threatening comment that he always falls back on when he senses he's no longer able to game the system, biographer Tim O'Brien told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Wednesday evening.

"Trump was supposed to testify in his other case he's freaking out about, the money case in ... New York," said Reid.
