Summary: Former President Donald Trump has intensified threats against political opponents, raising concerns about potential impacts on democracy and the economy. Experts warn that if Trump follows through on these threats, it could create uncertainty for investors and businesses.

Recent comments from Trump, including calls to prosecute Vice President Kamala Harris, have alarmed some former officials. While a Gallup poll shows the economy remains a top voter concern, experts argue that threats to democracy could harm economic growth over time.

The Trump campaign maintains that his policies will improve the economy, contrasting with the current administration's approach. However, experts caution that undermining democratic institutions could lead to long-term economic challenges, despite some short-term stability.
