Former President Donald Trump's rhetoric gets more extreme with each passing week.

We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascist, and the radical left thugs that live like

vermin within the confines of our country.

And Trump isn't the only angry Republican on the hill this week.

The House Republican Civil War rages on, including apparently acts of physical violence.

There are dumb days on Capitol Hill and there are dumber days on Capitol Hill.

And this is one of the dumbest I've seen there quite a long time.

Next.

This is Washington Week with the Atlantic.

Good evening and welcome to the Anger Management Edition of Washington Week.

Donald Trump has never been modulated in rhetoric or really anything else but there's a sense

out there that as he comes under increasing

legal pressure he's become more apocalyptic. We're going to discuss this and other

issues tonight with Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent for the New York

Times. Leanne Caldwell, the co-author of the Washington Post's early 202 newsletter and an

anchor for

the Washington Post live. Idris Kalun is the Washington Bureau chief for the economist

and Elena Plot Calabro, my colleague and staff writer at the Atlantic.

All right, so we're not gonna get angry at each other tonight, right?

Because I don't want to use my Bernie Sanders voice to keep.

E just welcome to the show, first time on the show.

You don't get to yell at anybody. I want to go right at this
