Trump Escalates Rhetoric Amid Election Tensions

Former President Donald Trump has intensified his rhetoric against Democrats, calling them 'the enemy from within,' and accusing them of being Marxists, communists, and fascists. During a Fox News town hall, Trump suggested using the military to manage unrest caused by his political opponents, which drew severe criticism from Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz, who described the comments as 'un-American.' Trump's language has been condemned as dangerous and fascistic by figures such as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This divisive discourse occurs amid a closely contested election race, with Trump's comments becoming a focal point of Democratic critiques. Former military leaders have expressed concern, highlighting the potential threat of Trump's rhetoric to American democracy.
