Former US President Donald Trump is embroiled in fresh controversy after allegations surfaced that he encouraged an attack on a staff member at DC Doge, a popular social media platform. The incident, which occurred earlier this week, has ignited a firestorm of criticism and demands for legal action.
What Happened?
According to witnesses, the victim, an employee at DC Doge, was verbally and physically assaulted by a group of individuals who cited Trump's rhetoric as justification for their actions. The assailants allegedly referenced Trump's past statements criticising the platform and its staff.
Political Fallout
The attack has drawn sharp condemnation from political figures and advocacy groups, who argue that Trump's inflammatory language has real-world consequences. "This is not just an isolated incident—it's a direct result of dangerous rhetoric," said one lawmaker.
Trump's Response
Trump's team has denied any involvement, calling the allegations "baseless and politically motivated." However, critics remain unconvinced, pointing to his history of targeting media outlets and individuals who oppose him.
Public Reaction
The incident has reignited debates about free speech, accountability, and the role of public figures in shaping public behaviour. Many are calling for stricter measures to prevent such attacks in the future.
