In a recent fundraising email blast on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump sent out a shocking message: "HAUL OUT THE GUILLOTINE!" This phrase, directed towards his supporters, seemed to be a call for revenge against his political enemies. However, upon further examination, it becomes clear that Trump is actually portraying himself as the victim, accusing his opponents of wanting to behead him.
The email referenced a disturbing incident from 2017, when comedian Kathy Griffin posed with a fake decapitated head resembling Trump. Trump reminded his supporters of this, stating, "Remember when that Sicko Kathy Griffin made the rounds parading my BEHEADED head when I was President? The radical-left CHEERED! Obama and Biden were SILENT! And the Fake News BLASTED it everywhere!" He continued to use his familiar rhetoric, claiming that he is the only one standing up against the Democrats and liberals who want to see him gone.
The email concluded with a plea for donations, accompanied by the exclamation, "SICK SICK SICK!" This is not the first time Trump has used fiery language in his fundraising efforts. In fact, since being convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial, he has ramped up his attacks on his opponents. Some believe that this is because he is fighting to win the 2024 presidential election in order to escape punishment for his crimes.
Trump's sentencing in the hush money case is scheduled for July 11, and he could face up to four years in prison per offense. This has only fueled his determination to regain the White House and continue to use divisive language to rally his supporters. In fact, after being criminally convicted, his campaign received a staggering $34.8 million in small donations.
This is not the first time Trump's language has been called into question. During the 2020 election, he repeatedly called on his fans to "fight" and challenged the results of the election, leading to the violent and deadly Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Some of his supporters even erected a gallows and noose on the west front of the US Capitol, a chilling symbol of the violence that could have erupted.
As Trump continues to use inflammatory language to paint himself as the victim and his opponents as the aggressors, it is clear that his divisive tactics are not going away anytime soon. Only time will tell if he will be held accountable for his actions and words, or if his supporters will continue to fuel his efforts to regain power.
