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.

Hilarious “A political persecution theory not supported by the facts”.

What they did is totally out of character with anything ever done before in our history.

If Trump DOESN’T seek revenge, then his second term will be an abject failure.

Both of those two milquetoasts tried to get a Pledge out of Trump to NOT retaliate against the criminal actions of the Left in perpetrating Lawfare against him.

F*ck that. Try them and jail them. Every last one.

Re-set the US Constitution. It will take 2 election cycles and the responsibility needs to be on the citizenry. Americans need to be shamed on voting for the same people.

Transfer the real power back to the states.

Get rid of the 1906 Dick Act, and restore the militia.

Advocate classical American education where debate teams are more important than sports.

Hang those who committed treason. In the public square. Go old school.

“...a political persecution theory not supported by the facts....”

Keep pushing the propaganda. Matt Dixon and Jake Traylor are two filthy scumbag pukes who are going to pay for their treachery. They know full well that Trump was railroaded by a corrupt judge and prosecutor under the supervision of an illegitimate Biden regime.

All these propagandist are going to pay dearly for their sedition beginning on January 21, 2025.

NBC News is focused on giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

The drive-by media are running a concerted campaign of disinformation on this topic. It’s SO mis-leading, but they don’t care. Trump ACTUALLY told Hannity he would NOT seek revenge. He said, “this has to stop”. He went on about it. It couldn’t be any clearer what he’s saying.

But what do they report? ONLY that Trump said “I’d have every right to seek revenge”. Every network, every liberal website. It’s sick

I would say this is journalistic mal-practice, but they stopped being journalists a long time ago.

Colangelo. Who doesn't leave a very prestigious and powerful third-highest position at DOJ to take a lowly city prosecutor job? Happens all the time.

Below is from "Pookie's Toons" today. I didn't know Schumer's brother was knee-deep in this, too! Chuckie calls his brother:

"Hey, Bob, can you loan some hot-shot lawyers to go to New York to Get Trump!? I have six ways from Sunday to get him and I need your help."

Good point. If that is true, it is just like the MSM like twisting his use of the word “bloodbath.”

“Consider the source!”
Why do you post NBC news garbage? You are fouling our site!

This is a nothing burger piece that assumes Republican retribution when the truth is that The DAMNOCRATS are guilty of using the DOJ to assault Republicans!

The Ancient Egyptians had a curious word, one we can not really accurately translate, that dominated their society from peasant to Pharaoh. It was Maat. When things got bad, peasants demanded of pharaoh “Give us Maat.” What does it mean? A mess of things—Justice, harmony, order, The way things ought to be, or “The Egyptian Way.” All those terms and more we in the modern world can not understand. It was an idea that was above the pharaoh, and even the 3,000 Egyptian Gods. They even made “Maat” a goddess. That’s what we need in America from the corrupt Democrats who have abused their powers and defied our rules set down in the Constitution. The People demand of the powers that be—”Give us Maat.” To defy them is to anger the Gods, even unto the most powerful of Gods, Amun-Ra, who’s wrath can shatter the world.

It is not revenge to go after those who illegally weaponized the justice department against political enemies.

I hope we get some just for illegal spying on Trump campaign, lying to FISA judges, fake “Clinton-Steele Dossier”, Russian collusion hoax, massive Covid fraud, Hunter’s laptop scandal, Fed-surrection scandal, operation cross fire hurricane, opening the southern border, illegal leaking of classified documents, and enabling ANITA and BLM thugs.

Revenge should be replaced with accountability. He needs to hold the lawfare folk accountable. That is how it should be framed.
