Trump is playing with fire? At the rally he said what he would do with people who reveal secrets

On November 3, the so-called midterms, midterms. Donald Trump will remain the occupant of the White House regardless of the vote, because this time the balance of power in Congress will be at stake. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and about a third of the seats in the Senate are up for grabs. However, these elections are extremely important for Trump because they determine how strong support and influence he will have in Congress. So he willingly goes to election rallies. According to Time, he made disturbing words at the last such event - in Bullhead City, Arizona.

The example comes from above, and aggressive rhetoric can have tragic consequences

In my opinion, people revealing information should be shot. In the past, people were shot for revealing secrets - for example, when they revealed what time an attack on a country would take place - Trump said in the context of Iran, which, together with Israel, attacked on February 28 this year, thus starting Operation Epic Fury.

These words aroused controversy among commentators, because talking about "shooting" anyone is a real social threat. It tames the language of violence and can build consent for lynching and repression instead of reliable conduct in accordance with the law.

Such words are especially dangerous when they come from people who have power or a large influence on public opinion. Their influence is then particularly strong, because the example comes from above and aggressive rhetoric is eagerly imitated. In a democratic state, possible liability for revealing secrets is determined by independent courts, with respect for human rights, and not by death threats.

Attack on Iran 'had to be delayed'

Donald Trump said this in the context of the US planned attack on Iran - most likely on three key Iranian nuclear facilities while Tehran was engaged in a twelve-day armed conflict with Israel.
