Former President Donald Trump currently faces more than 90 legal cases in state and federal courts while also battling to maintain his business operations.
Recent observations suggest that he is adopting a more confrontational stance as he grapples with these escalating challenges.
Known for his direct and outspoken approach, Trump’s critics have often accused him of bluntness and harshness. This communication style is not uncommon in the New York City area.
An article dated October 4 from Axios lends credence to these assertions, alleging that Trump is resorting to “violent rhetoric” in response to the growing legal and political pressure.
The piece references a recent speech in California where the former president accused former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley of “treason” and hinted at the idea of the military official facing execution.
Furthermore, Trump called for the removal and disbarment of Judge Arthur Engoron, who presides over the civil trial against him in New York.
He even suggested that the judge could face criminal charges and made negative remarks about one of the judge’s court clerks on TRUTH Social. In response, Judge Engoron imposed a limited gag order to address Trump’s behavior.
The former president has also voiced support for executing suspected shoplifters and alleged drug dealers. He has indicated that if re-elected, he would use the Department of Justice to investigate and potentially prosecute his political adversaries.
During the California speech where he criticized General Milley, Trump made derogatory remarks about former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, who had been assaulted the previous year. He ridiculed Nancy Pelosi for her security arrangements at her residence.
Political scientist Brian Klaas has expressed concerns about Trump’s mental state and behavior, characterizing him as “deranged, delusional, and dangerous.”
“Maybe, just maybe, it would be better for all of us if they knew about the other insane, dangerous rhetoric he spews on a daily basis,” Klaas said.
“The people most likely to be radicalized by him or to act on his incitement already hear him, loud and clear.” Klaas added.
On the other hand, Republicans argue that the Left is exaggerating the situation and suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome.”
