A Cornered Rat

As Trump's legal problems are closing in on him, he has escalated his violent threats against court officers, reporters, and his political opponents.

Winston Churchill warned of desperate men, saying, "Even a cornered rat is dangerous." Recent court rulings have exposed Trump as a liar and fraud. In response, Trump has lashed out with increasingly violent threats, including calling for the execution of General Milley. Trump's claims of persecution have resulted in death threats against judges, criminal prosecutors and the FBI. Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly recently warned that Trump is "A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law."
