<p>Just days before the 2024 US presidential elections, a new report has come to light adding to controversies surrounding the Republican candidate Donald Trump. The former president reportedly told his aides that he wanted to give President Joe Biden an offensive nickname following the June debate.</p>

<p>Trump is known for his liking to give nicknames to his political adversaries from phrases like 'Sleepy Joe' and 'Crooked Hillary' to 'Ron DeSanctimonious'. According to a recent report by the Atlantic, Trump wanted to add “Retarded Joe Biden” to his list.</p>

<p>“The guy’s a retard. He’s retarded. I think that’s what I’ll start calling him,” Trump reportedly said aboard his campaign plane, in late June, following the presidential debate with his opponent.</p>

<p>Trump’s campaign staff allegedly better him not to say the R-word in public.

<h2><strong>Using slurs for his adversaries</strong></h2>

<p>While the Republican has never used the nickname in public, he has used the r-word to describe his personal and political rivals on multiple occasions to insult them.</p>

<p>Trump had earlier said in 2020 how he could be losing to a “mental retard”, referring to Biden, when asked about the polling numbers in the last presidential elections, according to Vanity Fair.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The former president has allegedly also referred to Republican presidential candidate Kamala Harris using the same slur word during a late September dinner with Republican donors. Trump has repeatedly attacked Harris’ mental abilities at his campaign rallies, naming her “mentally impaired” and “mentally disabled” since her presidential nomination.</p>

<p>As election day nears, Trump’s controversial rhetoric has only continued with him having violent fantasies about Liz Cheney, hosting a “hate rally” at Madison Square Garden, and a microphone fiasco during a Milwaukee rally.</p>

US election 2024: Know all about Trump Organisation

<p>A Chicago woman, Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, has been arrested on charges of sending threatening emails to former US president Donald Trump and his youngest son Barron Trump. This incident has raised concerns and garnered significant attention from the public and legal authorities.</p>

<h2><strong>The alleged threats</strong></h2>

<p>According to the US attorney’s office in Chicago, a formal complaint was filed against Fiorenza earlier this month in the US district court for the southern district of Florida. The complaint states that Fiorenza allegedly sent a threatening email in May, declaring, “I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity I get!” These menacing words were directed at the former president and his son, causing alarm and prompting immediate legal action.</p>

<h2><strong>Targeted email recipient</strong></h2>

<p>The email in question was addressed to the head of an educational institution in Palm Beach county, southern Florida. This geographical location is significant because it is where Donald Trump maintains his primary residence, the Mar-a-Lago resort, club, and residence complex in Palm Beach. The proximity of the threat to Trump's primary residence escalated concerns regarding the safety of the former president and his family.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Repetition of threats</strong></h2>

<p>Shockingly, this was not an isolated incident. The complaint further reveals that Fiorenza allegedly sent another threatening email in June targeting Trump and Barron, the former president's 17-year-old son with his third wife Melania Trump. These repeated threats have only intensified the legal ramifications for Fiorenza.</p>

<h2><strong>Response from Fiorenza's representative</strong></h2>

<p>As news of Fiorenza's arrest broke, a representative for her could not be immediately reached for comment. The motive behind these threatening emails remains unclear, and further investigations are expected to shed light on Fiorenza's intentions and any potential affiliations.</p>

<h2><strong>Context of political polarisation</strong></h2>

<p>This incident takes place against the backdrop of escalating political violence and threats in the US&nbsp;in recent years. A Reuters report released earlier this month highlighted that political violence has reached its highest levels since the 1970s, underscoring the need for vigilance and the swift response of law enforcement agencies to such threats.</p>

<h2><strong>Donald Trump's legal challenges</strong></h2>

<p>Apart from facing threats and political challenges, Donald Trump is currently embroiled in a series of criminal and civil legal cases in multiple states, including New York, Washington, Florida, and Georgia. These legal battles come as he seeks the Republican Party's nomination for the 2024 presidential election, with hopes of returning to the White House after his defeat by Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. The first trial concerning his business interests is scheduled for October, adding to the complexity of his legal situation.</p>
