Trump’s escalating threats alarm his opponents
The Hill ^ | 09/10/24 6:00 AM ET | by Brett Samuels -

Posted on 09/10/2024 11:12:42 AM PDT by RandFan

Trump over the weekend threatened to prosecute donors, lawyers and elections officials who he claimed “cheated” in the 2020 election or who engaged in behavior he deemed “unscrupulous” in November. And he elevated a dubious claim about fraud involving mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, echoing rhetoric he used to cast doubt on the 2020 results.

Republicans have long argued Trump’s fixation on the 2020 election and his claims of widespread fraud are unhelpful politically, but critics viewed Trump’s most recent posts as a blaring warning sign about how Trump may react to November’s results, win or lose.

“As we head into the debate, an extreme and unhinged Donald Trump is further ratcheting up his dangerous threats of revenge and retribution,” Harris campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.

“Trump is openly laying out how he will try to rule as a dictator on day one to go after his political enemies. Another thing is clear: For Donald Trump, it’s all about himself,” Moussa added.

....

“WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Trump posted Saturday on Truth Social.

He indicated that lawyers, political operatives, donors, voters and election officials could all be targeted with prosecution.

They should all be crapping their pants. Zuckerberg’s conversion should be met with prosecution.

All Trump is saying is that, he’ll do unto them as they have done unto him.

Trump is playing fair.

There's nothing dubious about it. The Democratsw are still trying to let illegals vote. If anyone wants to bet there's no phony/iullegal ballots waiting to be counted, let me know.

You mean like the rats are doing right now? They are the masters of projection.

You’re right. The Trump enemies took off the gloves a long time ago. Now they will go all out.

bad strategy to run your mouth like that. Keep it on the inside, run against the crappy record of harris, keep focused on issues.

Someone needs to look into ActBlue.

Can’t say for certain but I’ve read they claim they will 9x any donation. If a donor gives $50 they will add $450. Where does that 9x come from? Hard to see how this doesn’t violate campaign finance laws (unless they give to a PAC). The total of all those 9x will exceed the maximum very quickly. It would amount to a straw donation.

James O’Keefe has a lot of information showing that ActBlue reports money donated from modest income regular people who have no clue they ever donated, or donated minimal amounts but are reported as having given many thousands or tens of thousands. Where did that money really come from?

President Trump will restore law and order and starting with the criminal cabal in DC is the best place for him to start. No law and order, no freedom nor a country. Thank you President Trump! May God bless you and keep you.

The trials better be televised, and also the carrying out of sentences too, just to reassure the public and serve as a warning to anyone who may want to pull these shenanigans again.

“All Trump is saying is that, he’ll do unto them as they have done unto him.”

The dems are law breakers and going after political opponents solely because they are political opponents. Trump is not threatening to do that.

He said:
“WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law.”

All he is saying is that the rule of law will be followed ... and the dems can’t allow that.

There are no issues.

There is only the Swamp. Talk about the Swamp. It moves Independent votes and those are the plurality.

Better yet. Don’t show up. GOPe filth has pushed for debate — to give her a chance.

The accused can plead innocent and be tried by a jury of their peers. They don’t have anything to worry about if they have done nothing wrong.

There are plenty of safeguards in the U.S. Constitution; the Constitution democrats want to trash.

The Leftist “The Hill” is doing what all Democrats and Leftist do, complain and cry about someone threatening to do or doing to them what they have been doing to others while trying to make it sound like it is unprecedented. They don ‘t like it. Tough s—t.

Gee...

This sounds EXACTLY like what a candidate for District Attorney or Attorney General would say.

Why wouldn't the candidate who appoints the nation's Attorney General say something similar?
