Trump's Escalating Legal Woes Fuel Violent Rhetoric

Former President Donald Trump's violent rhetoric has escalated as his legal troubles mount, with recent remarks including advocating for shooting shoplifters and insinuating that a military general should be executed for treason. Trump's inflammatory language comes at a time when his supporters are already angry over his indictments, and attacks against institutions and officials have increased. The special counsel has requested a gag order due to Trump's threatening statements, but it may only enhance his appeal with his base. Trump continues to defend himself and rally his supporters through his social media platform, Truth Social.
