Donald Trump's history of using vile language and insults to intimidate and attack his opponents continues to be a problem as he faces multiple court cases.

The potential consequences, such as fines or even jail time, may not deter him due to his wealth and belief that he can outmaneuver the legal system. The damage caused by Trump's inflammatory rhetoric is real, as evidenced by threats made by his supporters.
