Violent rhetoric, again, is a feature, not a bug, of Trump's campaigning style. It goes back to 2016, Amna, when he used to use a lot of violent rhetoric during his campaign.

But, recently, there has been, over the course of the last two weeks, an increase. And so if we break it down, on September 22, Trump suggests that General Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, should be executed.

September 29, he mocks the assault on Paul Pelosi. That was a violent political attack, September 29, as well in that same speech, calls for shoplifters to be shot on sight. You will remember he said in 2020, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.

And then, on October 3, he said — which was just yesterday, Amna, when speaking to right-wing media, he said, migrants are — quote — "poisoning the blood of our country."

Now, I checked with a historian, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and she said that language that he's using, talking about migrants, Amna, echoes language used in Nazi propaganda by Adolf Hitler when Adolf Hitler actually said that Jewish people and migrants were — quote — "causing a blood poisoning" — end quote — of Germany.
