Impact of Trump's Verbal Attacks on Judges

Trump's use of social media to attack judges has incited his followers to make violent threats against them online. Supporters of Trump across three state-level cases responded with calls for violence, including beatings, torture, and executions. The language used in these posts normalized violence and experts warn of its potential to intimidate people from engaging in the judicial process. The threats made by Trump's followers are likened to those who attacked the US Capitol.
