Isaac Arnsdorf: 特朗普在其竞选活动中反复使用煽动性言论,将反对者称为"国内敌人",并暗示可能动用军队来应对选举中的抗议活动。他还曾谈到给予警察一天不受限制地使用暴力的权利,以及对那些他认为威胁到其权力的人采取强硬措施。这些言论引发了人们对其潜在危险性的担忧,特别是考虑到他可能会任命那些乐于执行其极端政策的人担任要职。 Sean McCreesh: 特朗普的支持者对他的危险言论反应不一。一些人认为他的言论只是夸大其词,或者认为政府机制会阻止他采取极端行动。另一些人则表示欣赏他的强硬立场,认为国家需要一位强有力的领导人来应对失控的犯罪和混乱。即使是那些对特朗普的某些言论感到担忧的人,也往往会因为其他原因而支持他,例如他对军队的支持或他对经济政策的承诺。此外,一些退役军官也对特朗普的言论表示担忧,认为他应该被认真对待,因为他可能会滥用权力。
