After his historic guilty verdict, Trump is focused on revenge

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.

We should all boycott the Mainstream ‘Driveby Media’ and the companies who support them by placing advertisements. Backrupt them and put their asses out of work on the streets with the homeless.

NBC is just helping to spread the DNC talking point that Trump is a dictator that will destroy Democracy. Translated, that means that there will be equal justice under Trump, which Democrats fear as their weaponized law fare agencies do everything from work to rig elections to insure that Democrats get a pass on illegal activities.

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

Which is a key fact.

This crap has never been done to any other President.

The left-wing assholes that have gained power from 1974-2024, have “crossed the political Rubicon.”

The future consequences for their hatred driven stupidity is “on them.”

The RATS have weaponized the DOJ, broke law and must be held accountable as they have been saying “no one is above the law”. Payback is a bitch.

“Trump has done at least five interviews since his guilty verdict. In all five, he has talked about possible retribution.”
I’m willing to bet in all five interviews, the interviewer ASKED him about retribution, so that’s why he “talked about it”. He’s not focused on retribution, he is focused on winning the election and fixing the economy, the border, and the deficit.

Both before and after the verdict, the MSM is focused on lying.

“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.”

What kind of “revenge” would you suggest?

Not revenge, Justice!

Exactly. Accountability, so that this unconstitutional, scorched earth behavior by these dictatorial, destructive Dems and RINOs is strongly discouraged from continuing or being repeated.

Just so everything is clear Mr. Dixon between you and me.

President Trump will mete out righteous retribution and it will be served very cold.

I would like to see them in prison, but we won't be able to get that. The court system is so dysfunctional that you can't even fine them for manipulating elections.

I would think our goal should be to make them unemployed and un-hireable.

This is the main problem in our nation which needs to be fixed. We need to stop media liars from controlling the airwaves. I have long advocated a requirement for them to provide equal time to people who are on the opposite side of the political spectrum. We need to reinstate the equal time doctrine of the past.

They would hate it. They wouldn't get to lie anymore without someone pointing out they are lying.

It isn’t revenge, you uncivil nitwit lefties...It is justice under the law and Constitution. So many are traitors and need to taste the rope (after a quick, fair trial and conviction, of course).
