If they hadn’t done anything Trump would want to retaliate for, then they wouldn’t have to worry.

What a tacit admission of guilt.

If they’re that worried about Trump, they need to reflect on standing before GOD on Judgment Day.

Then they’ll wish all they had to deal with was Trump.

President Trump better get even with the evil bastards who are conducting this illegal and unconstitutional witch hunt against him!

The only small sliver of hope that America has to not succumb completely to fascist tyranny is for Trump to not just retaliate against the deep state but to utterly destroy it and make the rubble bounce.

Mark Esper served as secretary of defense for 18 months, during which he clashed with former President Trump over proposals to use the military in ways Esper thought were inappropriate1. Trump fired Esper in November 2020.

It is NOT retaliation. The DEEP STATE committed the initial crime with Russia pissgate, the lying FBI and CIA operations, running spies AGAINST Trump in the White House, two abusive political impeachments to cover up their crimes he was getting close to and a STOLEN ELECTION.

It is NOT RETALIATION. It is JUSTICE.

Retaliation is what the deep state did - for Trump winning 2016 and not being fellow swampite.

Trump going after the swamp would be justice.

Sorta like those swatters that call in fake emergencies - the swatted shouldn’t get punished, but the swatter definitely should.

“Trump “…wanted to call back to active duty Adm. McRaven and Gen. McChrystal, to court-martial them, for some things that they allegedly said in in the public domain, and Milley and I had to talk the president out of doing that, for any number of reasons.”

Well within his rights.

Every time a sewer rat speaks out like this it gives even more credence to the notion that Trump has been wronged and he has a legitimate beef for which to “retaliate”.

” Trump criticized retiring General Mark Milley last week for communicating with his Chinese counterparts “…to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States.” Trump compared the betrayal by Milley to a “treasonous act.””

The very definition of treason and espionage.

Ex-SecDef Esper Worries Trump Will Retaliate Against Deep State If Elected

“Nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light” (Luke 8:17)

Romans 12:19 says, “Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord” I would comment that scripture shows us that the Lord will use people and nations to execute His judgement.

Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn”

The true enemy is the one pulling all the strings. Ephesians 6:12-13 tells us that we do not fight against flesh-and-blood enemies but against evil spirits. Most of us know this truth, but it takes a constant reminder when flesh and blood are right in front of us causing so much trouble! God has given you all authority over the enemy. So, when he tries to send people your way, rebuke him, send him packing, and remind him that he must go back where he belongs—under your feet!

I recall the story of Nehemiah rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Sanbalat hated Nehemiah and hated seeing Jerusalem restored. Nehemiah and his men death with Israel's enemies by carrying a sword for defense and the Torah in their heart for offense. It's also interesting that the Lord used Cyrus, a pagan king of Persia, to underwrite and support Nehemiah. The story of Nehemiah is instructive for Christians in that it describes dealing with God's (and our) enemies on both a natural and supernatural level.

I thought this HAD TO BE a Babylon Bee article...surprisingly, it was NOT.

I think most of We the People WANT Trump to dismantle, attack, throttle, and otherwise disrupt the Deep State actors who are no longer working in the best interest of the United States (if they truly ever were - See J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI as a prime example)!!

I guess getting back what you give out can be a real bitch.

You can bet your sweet bippy he’ll retaliate against the deep state. That’ll be his mandate demanded by we the people.

I hope he “retaliates’ with a vengeance not seen since the Civil War.

His actual name was Garfinkel. The family Americanized it.

But wait.....Why would Trump need to retaliate Mr Esper? Are you admitting he was targeted? Attacked? Persecuted? Thank you for pointing it out....
