Trump's Heated Rhetoric Raises Alarms

Trump's rhetoric has intensified recently, suggesting violence against enemies and praising authoritarian leaders. This echoes authoritarian regimes he admires.

His words can rile up supporters, as on Jan 6, and shape the GOP agenda, like calls to dissolve the FBI.

His remarks alarmed the legal system, prompting gag orders and requests to limit inflammatory comments.

Some Republicans have condemned his rhetoric, like threats to execute Gen. Milley, but most stay quiet.

Rivals mimic his violent language rather than criticize it. Supporters see his extreme rhetoric as authenticity.
