Sorry but I think I’m missing some context here. Is he talking about taking his son’s college money and investing it in something else? If so, what is that something else? Considering his self-appointed title is 👑THE GREAT MAGA KING👑 I’m sure it’s incredibly stupid and probably an obvious scam.

As pointed out, while being all powerful on these here lands of GT Planet I’m sure @Famine has no means to carry out such a task.

Remember when Trump actually ran on a platform which included infrastructure spending? (One of the only things I agreed with.)
And then that all went mostly silent when he realized that that meant different things to different people in different places with different needs, and nobody was going to agree on that. So all we got was the usual yearly INFRA grants to each state and that was the end of it.
Probably wanted that Ports-to-Plains corridor to be paid for with tolls, assuming that those Mexican and Canadian Truckers (oh, and literally everyone else in between) will just cover the costs. Which would just drive up the cost of things yet again.

Nope. Note that in the first of the two posts to which you opted to respond there's mention of intent. Intent is important. Threats are speech directed at causing one to fear they will be harmed by the speaker or someone acting in the speaker's stead. Absent intent, what you've got is hyperbole. In this case, it's obvious hyperbole. It's absurd to think that a reasonable person would interpret that statement as a legitimate threat of physical harm.

Typically it's only a death threat if you threaten that you are going to kill the person (or people). If you don't threaten death, it's not a death threat.
There is also an important legal distinction if you have the actual intention to kill the person (or people) you are threatening and also have the means to do so. You can also threaten death without the means to do so - such as phoning a fake bomb threat to a school or library, or children's hospital.
Edit: Also I forgot coercion and incitement; if someone else thinks your threat of death is a real one and they then intend to, have the means to, or actually do carry it out, then you have made a death threat.
Although it all rather depends on the various jurisdictions, a post about Donald Trump's funeral being a cremation doesn't meet any criteria in any jurisdiction I'm aware of.
I could post that if he's charged, tried, and found guilty of sedition and treason he should face the same sentence he called for in the case of Edward Snowden: death. That's also not a death threat, despite actually containing a suggestion he should be put to death - and it's actually a valid sentence for what lies ahead of him, but wasn't a valid sentence for Snowden.
