Trump's Rhetoric and Political Strategy

Former President Trump employs divisive language, labeling his political opponents as enemies and creating a narrative of an 'enemy from within' the country. This rhetoric extends to his characterization of certain Democrats, such as California Senate candidate Adam Schiff, whom he has derogatorily labeled. Trump’s comments suggest an inclination towards authoritarian measures, such as potentially deploying the National Guard or military against perceived threats, a stark escalation from typical campaign statements. His approach aims to rally extreme right voters by instilling a sense of urgency and danger surrounding the upcoming election.
