Oklahoma man accused of posting Trump needs ‘to die to save lives.’ Then his ‘disgraceful’ response to FBI leaves him facing a potential life sentence

Taylor Prigmore, a 31-year-old man from McLoud, Oklahoma, has pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges after he was accused of threatening to murder President Donald Trump, federal law enforcement officers, and others, as reported by Law&Crime. The plea means Prigmore now faces a potential life sentence in federal prison and fines of up to $1 million.

Federal prosecutors said Prigmore had threatened to kill any law enforcement officers who came to his home and wanted to kill “as many as possible.” When the FBI moved to arrest him in January, he fired multiple rounds at federal agents during a brief standoff, the Justice Department said. No one was injured, and investigators later recovered a Hi-Point 9 mm semiautomatic pistol from him.

The case stems from a string of YouTube comments posted between May 2025 and January 2026, according to a federal complaint. In one comment from January 17, Prigmore allegedly wrote, “Our presidents needs [sic] to die to save lives.” Another comment he allegedly wrote the same day read, “I really tired of dumb f**** pretending he’ll obey the courts. What is the 2nd amendment for? Ending MAGA.”

His YouTube comments went back months

The comments grew more specific over time. Beyond his online threats to kill Trump, Prigmore allegedly posted on January 16, “I can’t wait for the civil war. … Kill kill you MAGA f****.” The following day, he allegedly wrote, “Prep for civil wr. Prep for deth cmps. Prep for klling federal gnts.”

Another comment allegedly read, “I am prepping physically and mentally to kill federal agents. Have you not seen the news of late.” His online activity dated back to early May 2025, when he allegedly posted, “Be brave. Say it where ever you go. Kill feds. Buy a gun. This is life and death.” The FBI was alerted to the comments by Google on January 17, two days before agents went to his home.

A federal grand jury later indicted Prigmore over the politically charged death threats and the standoff. The charges including attempted murder of federal law enforcement, assaulting federal officers, and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. He also faced four counts of threatening to murder federal law enforcement officers and two counts of communicating a threat.

As part of his plea, Prigmore admitted he willfully threatened federal officers, sent threats to injure others, and intentionally assaulted and interfered with federal agents while using a firearm. “Mr. Prigmore’s guilty plea represents an important step toward accountability for his disgraceful actions that endangered the lives of FBI agents as they carried out their sworn duties,” FBI Oklahoma City Acting Special Agent in Charge Joe Skarda said.

Skarda added that violence and intimidation have no place in society. Prigmore will be sentenced in federal court in the Western District of Oklahoma.
