Every former American president picks up hobbies after leaving office (books, painting, skinny dipping, boxing). For the early days of Donald Trump’s post-presidency he has picked something a little different: revenge.
It’s early and presidents usually intentionally recede from public view dramatically after leaving office. But Trump appears uninterested in following that practice.
The 45th president has amassed a post-presidential war chest of $31m. He has endorsed a former aide in an upcoming gubernatorial election in the shape of his former press secretary Sarah Sanders in Arkansas.
And he has vowed to take revenge on high-profile Republicans who he sees as the chief reason he is out of office – like Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia or the House Republican Conference chairwoman, Liz Cheney, the highest-ranking member of her caucus to vote for impeaching the former president.

Some of Trump’s allies are also either keeping roles in the political campaign sphere to maintain Trumpism or beginning the siege on his opponents. Matt Gaetz, the Florida congressman and staunch Trump ally, has already traveled to Wyoming to encourage opposition to Cheney. In Arizona, pro-Trump Republicans censured the former senator Jeff Flake, Governor Doug Ducey and Cindy McCain, the widow of the late senator John McCain.
In Pennsylvania, the state Republican party recently reaffirmed its full support for Trump as well. And above the state parties, the Republican National Committee chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, a Trump ally, was re-elected to her post.

To cement his influence Trump has also not discounted the possibility of running for election again in 2024, forcing other would-be Republican candidates to tread carefully as they plot their own groundwork for the next presidential campaign.

Remember Gary Hart;-?
It was golf and treason when he was in office. Does he still play golf?
GOOD!
What’s frightening is I don’t think they think or know they’re making it up.
“Shore is quiet, Zeke.”
“Yeh. Too quiet, Klem.”
WHOOOO-HOOOO, Go get ‘em President Trump! I plan on backing only those who fight for us.
It would be more appropriately “vengeance”.
DB, tell me this shouldn’t be Trump’s new theme song
:D
Best movie, ever and I love Alun Armstrong but he’s still of the treacherous bloody border clans.
When I first saw this, I laughed [too loud] in the theater because Mel was wreaking havoc with a piece of antler thanks to the English outlawing weapons.
I’ve been carrying a sharpened spike antler on my belt loop *forever*.
Must be genetic memory.
:D
/still carrying a grudge for the Campbells, too
You forgot the peanut farmer. .

Is that genetic memory from RL Stevenson’s Kidnapped?
Could be.

Trump should make Elon Musk a partner in the new broadcasting platform. Elon’s Starlink’s global network and Trump’s space outlook, (father of the space force, teasing alien secrets,whatever...) would be synergistic!
Elon said something about colonizing Mars and could become the first “King of Mars” but I think Trump would be a good choice too, for the First President of Mars.
well.. I don’t call it revenge... I’d call it evening up the mess the courts and congress made of Nov election. Not doing so is what the GOP has done for so long .. and given the dems a power control epidemic.
yes.. kemp us the big stumbling block ... he could have been in a winning position but he sold out... shame on grown men who let ego take over.
I hope Doug Collins seeks that position..he would be a great governor.
Addressing this is not revenge.
Spot On. It is not time to run from the fight. These fake #ComDem B_tards will self destruct very quickly. Nothing they advocate works. Spin, Lies and Deception soon unravels. The Complicit Media will try and cover, but the public totally understands what they are.
One can only hope and pray.
they use words to change the narrative and those who are not word aware... are sucked into believing a lie.
biden was not elected,. he crashed his party’s election.. he is illegitimate and playing cheat and steal.. Trump got over twice the votes.... he and we will not be denied.
Ronna did support President Trump. (her Uncle Nitwit Mitt Romney is a treasonous snake the needs to be punished for his betrayal of the nation)
I called here office yesterday. After receiving a 2nd notice on my RNC dues. In that conversation with telephone receptionist, I made it very very clear what I thought of the Betrayal of President Trump. But I also made it clear that I did not blame Ronnan for her uncle Mitt.
The Morman’s in Utah must deal with that snake. That globalist Puke deserves to be neutered.
