The Left and the legacy media continue to indulge in hysteria and accusations about the potential of Donald Trump taking revenge on his “enemies.” They are determined to call him out for planning these dastardly deeds—even though Trump has repeatedly denied an interest in taking such actions:
Though Trump has at times offered assurances that he wouldn’t try to avenge the wrongs he says he’s suffered, some of his critics aren’t convinced he means it.
A Fox News host asked him last month if he would ‘do to them what they did to him.’
‘A lot of people say that’s what should happen if you want to know the truth,’ Trump said.
Asked if he would ‘look at his political enemies’ when back in office, Trump said: ‘No, I want to make this the most successful country in the world. That’s what I want to do.’
But accepting Trump’s statements at face value would undermine their agenda: destroying Trump. Even though he can’t run for another term, they still want to ruin him. As they repeatedly do, the Left projects its hatred and motives onto Trump.
He does have the legacy media in his sights though:
‘We have to straighten out the press,’ Trump said in mid-December at his first news conference since winning a second term and just days after ABC News agreed to pay $15 million to settle a defamation suit with the president-elect. ‘Our press is very corrupt, almost as corrupt as our elections,’ Trump added. Since then, he’s filed a lawsuit against The Des Moines Register newspaper and a renowned pollster over a pre-election poll that didn’t show him ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in Iowa. He is also suing CBS ‘60 Minutes’ for how an interview was edited, in which he did not even appear.

You mean, besides returning when they said he couldn’t? 😁
To the left, actual justice for their misdeeds is “revenge.”
We can only hope.
IF he upholds the law, he won’t have to. It will just automatically.come with the legal sentencing and public execution of the perpetrators....
He doesn’t have to “take revenge” all he has to do is apply the law to the lefties.
Movie The Gardener.
Detective: So, the law?
Vigilante ex military: No. Justice.
There must be a price for the wreckless weaponization of government against common people.
There must be accountability.
The Left's mental disease is truly stunning and brazen.
PLEASE! Pretty please. With sugar and marshmallows.
And it’s NOT revenge. It’s justice. And that’s morally justified.
And delightful!
Does prosecution of real crimes constitute revenge?
Hope so...
I can’t be the forgiving love thy enemy type. In a way I wish I could.
The only way to balance the universe is for justice to be done.
The pendulum has swung all the way to the Leftist, woke, totalitarian socialist side.
It can’t remain there.
RE: Does prosecution of real crimes constitute revenge?
Well, it’s called JUSTICE, and justice sometimes WILL have an element of revenge.
He should allow the truth to be exposed and let the consequences be whatever they are BUT also find a pretext to make sure that instead of DC and NY, all the trials are in Florida or Texas so it will have a chance to be fair and not auto-acquit.
I hope so!!
THEY DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump doesn’t even have to make up law. All he has to do is follow the law. So simple, even a lawyer can understand how it works. Even Democrat lawyers.
Exactly. Forgiveness can follow justice, but justice only comes from true repentance and/or restitution, but if the perpetrator is unwilling or unable to give those, justice must come in the form of punishment. They might try to call it "revenge", but that's not what this would be.
