As former President Donald Trump persists in verbal attacks on judges, law clerks and prosecutors in the multiple civil and criminal cases against him, experts continue to warn of potential risks of his behavior.

During Sunday's episode of MSNBC's Ayman, host Ayman Mohyeldin asked ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele to discuss the "danger" of the MAGA hopeful's rhetoric, "given how we've seen Trump supporters reacting to these attacks before."

Steele replied, "It's enormously dangerous. I am shocked that we have allowed this to get this far. I'm just going to use my best analysis that I can give you at this point on this situation with Trump, and the attacks on the judges. Put his a** in jail. That's how you end it. That's how it stops. Now, yeah, people will be mad, they will be upset. But there is no other person on this planet, certainly not in this country, who would be given the kind of grace that Donald Trump has been given to run his mouth the way he has — attacking clerks, attacking judges, attacking the prosecutors personally; threatening them."

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to hold office again?

He continued, "We've shown the evidence when he does that how his base responds. And so the system is getting pulverized from within by Trump, and is being pressed to the umpteenth corner it can go in trying to appease him, and allow him to be free while he is still behaving this way. So, if he wants to continue in this vein, then use the system the way the system would be used against all of us on the show right now. Because you know damn well, if any one of us said half of what Donald Trump said, we would not be on air tonight. We would be in a jail cell. We would be shut down."

Mohyeldin added, "People have been in a jail cell for a lot less i would argue.

Steele emphasized, "A lot less."
