After his historic guilty verdict, Trump is focused on revenge
NBC News ^ | 06/10/24 | Matt Dixon and Jake Traylor

Donald Trump wants to talk about revenge, and neither Sean Hannity nor Dr. Phil can stop him.

Both have tried.

Fresh off his historic guilty verdict in New York, Trump’s public comments, including in interviews with both men, have increasingly focused on the idea of “retribution” against his enemies if he returns to the White House.

It’s rhetoric driven by Trump’s obsession that President Joe Biden and Democrats orchestrated a series of legal problems intended to derail his presidential campaign — a political persecution theory not supported by the facts.

On May 30, a New York jury unanimously found Trump guilty on 34 counts related to falsifying business records tied to a $130,000 payment he made to an adult film star during the 2016 election. The Biden administration had nothing to do with the case.

But for Trump, it’s all politics, and revenge may need to be meted out.

“Well, revenge does take time, I will say that,” Trump said during a Thursday interview with Dr. Phil. “And sometimes revenge can be justified, Phil, I have to be honest. Sometimes it can.”

Trump has done at least five interviews since his guilty verdict. In all five, he has talked about possible retribution.

Watched the Dr. Phil interview with Donald Trump and it occurred to me, that the "it's has to stop" (when referring to "retribution/revenge") mantra, we've heard before.

Why is it only when a Republican is POTUS, that it is retribution or revenge to investigate and prosecute violations of the law? And usually when it looks like there is a possibility that the a Republican might take over as POTUS.

The list of people, the lowly IT guy for Hillary right up to (and including) the Bamster himself, have gotten away with crimes that would landed the average guy in prison for the rest of his or her life.

But now, we need to guard against "retribution" in order to "heal" the United States. I say we need to investigate every single alleged crime and prosecute/sentence every single person who committed crimes.

Period.

The way to "heal" the United States is not by continuing the two tier judicial system by letting these people off, it is by showing we have one judicial system for all and NOBODY is above the law.

We shouldn't be saying "Lock her up." We should be demanding that the entire DOJ be cleaned out and demand investigations/prosecutions of the alleged crimes.

As posted before, there is a difference between retribution and REAL CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

Yet nobody can produce a non-AI generated video with witnesses to verify the authenticity of president Trump stating he will seek revenge.

More standard MO of generating a fantasy, delusional alternate Universe they want you to grab on to and allow to anchor in your mind.

It is like Groundhog Day, where every day is April 1, 1984.

I want revenge on the news-liars like ABC, CBS,NBC, CNN, NPR and Fox. They manipulate elections by misleading voters, hiding information the voters need to know, and outright supporting known lies in order to swing voters to support liberal candidates.

The nation needs Trump to get revenge on these people, because the nation needs revenge against these corrupt people.

The Biden administration had nothing to do with the case.


I thought the third-highest guy at DOJ resigned to take on the job of helping the Manhattan DA prosecute President Trump. Was I misinformed?

Wouldn’t that be like the third highest guy at GM resigning his position to become assistant sales manager at a Chevy dealership?

Bad behavior cannot be rewarded. The rats went Hamas on Trump and must feel the pain of those actions. A truce will solve nothing until the left gets a dose of their own medicine good and hard.

Deliberate election manipulation. It needs to be against the law, and these people pushing fake narratives to support a political party, *NEED* TO GO TO JAIL!

2 people to go after. One is the guy who pulled the fire alarm. The house can deal with it.

The other is the one who married her brother. Both are black.
Let them cry racism.

Yup. The Commie Rats have routinely, and illegally, misused the power and purse strings of government to block the participation of conservative in government processes and to suppress their voices in the public square. Prosecution of these people is mischaracterized as “revenge” or “retribution”. Prosecution is really the only way to stop it and re-balance the proper function of government and the Constitution.

An article written in fear because the MSM knows they’re complicit in the manipulation of the news and the covering up of the misdeeds being committed in DC.

President Trump’s first term wasn’t about going after his enemies but MAGA. He’s also said his best revenge will be success. The leftist liars and deceivers in the media spin it as they erroneously perceive or fear it.

I haven’t heard all of Trump’s statements about revenge. But I have heard several and in each one he said he would find revenge in “success.”

This is the new headline norm. Everyone should try it. It’s fun!
