Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, has been in the news often lately. As the presumptive Republican Presidential candidate prepares for a showdown in the November elections against President Joe Biden, the stakes are higher than ever.
Trump, who lost his reelection bid in 2020, is gearing up for a rematch with Biden in November. However, this has been a bone of contention for experts, who worry it might cause a repeat of the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riot. If there’s one thing Trump is famous for, it’s his temper.
From publicly describing migrants as “illegal aliens” to saying it will be a “bloodbath” if he loses the November election to Biden, Trump is controversial. Former Trump administration Attorney General Bill Barr recently recounted his experience working with Trump in an interview with CNN.
Barr claimed the former President suggested executing his political rivals during heated moments in the White House. After Trump’s four-year tenure in the White House, several staffers had a thing or two to say about his infamous temper.

When he’s not calling for the execution of his rivals, the former President is calling for a staff member to be put to death. Alyssa Farrah Griffin, a former White House communications director, revealed that Trump once called for the death of a staff member.
For context, they said staff allegedly leaked a story about Trump hiding in a bunker during the Black Lives Matter protest in 2020. While speaking about the incident with CNN, Barr noted that the incident annoyed Trump. “I remember him being very mad about that,” Barr said.
Furthermore, Barr explicitly stated that Trump would lose his temper and “say things like that.” Barr added that the former President screamed profanities at staff members and called for the execution of his political rivals to “blow off steam.” While that may not be a conventional way to relieve stress, it appears to be a Trump thing.

Barr’s claims were not the only ones made about Trump. A former White House aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, also made similar claims. Hutchinson, who testified against Trump before the January 6 committee, said Trump wanted to join the mob at the Capitol in January 2021.
However, when Secret Service agents prohibited him from joining supporters, Hutchinson said Trump became violently angry. He reportedly aimed at an agent in the car, trying to take control of the wheels. Also, he allegedly punched a wall after his then-attorney general, Barr, affirmed the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

Following his loss in the 2020 elections, Trump has been embroiled in multiple legal woes, which became worse because of his temper. In his ongoing New York hush-money trial, the first criminal trial involving a US president, Trump reportedly made threatening remarks about witnesses, jurors, and court staff.
As a result, the judge overseeing the case, Judge Juan M. Merchan, issued a gag order against Trump. However, the former President has violated the order several times. After a hearing on Trump’s violation of the gag order, Merchan said he would “impose an incarceratory punishment” on him if he kept violating the order.
