Trump Told ABC Reporter He Hopes Fans Act On His Fiery Rhetoric

Donald Trump has long been known for directing fiery rhetoric at his followers, and he apparently wants to them to take his words seriously.
That’s according to ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, who said the former president admitted to him that he hopes his supporters act on his words ― even if it means violence.

That was the assertion the Washington correspondent made Monday in an interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, when he discussed a conversation he had with Trump in August 2019, after mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
“There were real concerns that there would be copycats, there would be more [shootings],” Karl told Wallace.

Trump responded using phrases that echoed the propaganda of Nazi Germany, Karl said, even though he might not know the history of it.
“He’s using this language,” Karl said. “This language out of the Third Reich — ‘enemy of the people.’”

Karl said he asked the president if he was worried his supporters might take his words to heart, saying, “Aren’t you concerned they will act on them?”
Karl said Trump didn’t miss a beat with his response.
“He said, ‘I hope they take my words to heart. I believe the press is the enemy of the people,’” Karl remembered Trump telling him.
