This is the way the world works now.
1) Trumps says some easily disprovable outrageous nonsense, such claiming that he convinced the air conditioner manufacturer, Carrier, to keep 1,100 jobs in the U.S.
2) Someone in the know disproves the easily disprovable nonsense, (similar to how a Union Rep, Chuck Jones pointed out on CNN that more than 1,200 Carrier employees will still lose their positions to Mexico) thereby becoming a target.
3) Trump makes the attack on the target personal.
4) The target receives threats of violence against himself and his children.
“Nothing that says they’re gonna kill me, but, you know, you better keep your eye on your kids,” Jones said of the threats he’s received. “We know what car you drive. Things along those lines.”
