During Thursday's episode of MSNBC's The ReidOut, Host Joy Reid spoke with ex-President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen about his new book in which he points to the MAGA hopeful's consistently violent rhetoric.

Trump currently faces gag orders in two separate cases as a result of his history of verbally attacking others, often via social media.

"The escalating rhetoric in your view, what does that bode for us?" Reid asked Cohen.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to hold office again?

Cohen replied, "Well, look, I have often said, and I'm going to say it again on your show tonight, so hopefully people pay attention. You must listen to what Donald Trump says. He's not just speaking, you know, boldly and blindly. He's telling you exactly what's on his mind — probably foolish — but he is telling us what's on his mind, and more importantly, what he intends to do. So when he says that on day one, if he wins, he's going to rewrite the Constitution, he's not joking. He thinks that he can rewrite the Constitution. And if somehow because of all of the sycophants that are there, he manages at least to delay or to get a hold of the full power of the United States government by taking the power away from the judiciary and the legislative and conveying it upon the executive branch, I'm telling you, that's what he thinks he can do. And that's what he will try to do. He is by far the single most dangerous thing to happen to American democracy, maybe in the United States' history."
