The same man who has relentlessly attacked his political and legal enemies on the campaign trail, in the White House and on social media – often using violent and incendiary rhetoric – is now showing up at the courthouse.
But unlike with his campaign rhetoric, Trump has faced consequences in the legal world for his verbal attacks.
This week’s court appearances underscored the reality that Trump’s rhetoric will be the same whether he’s outside a courthouse or on the stage of a campaign rally.
And he attacked the judge’s clerk as a “disgrace,” even before his social media post about her.
And he said he would return to testify as a witness “at the appropriate time.”Trump’s incendiary rhetoric is nothing new.
