Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, has been re-elected and is set to serve for a second term in office. After a tight race against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump was able to secure the required 270 Electoral College votes and win swing state Wisconsin. Although he won't officially take office until January, Trump is already planning for his next four years as President. And if his social media posts and campaign speeches are any indication, revenge seems to be at the top of his agenda.
In one of his September posts on his own social media platform, Truth Social, Trump declared, "When I win, those who cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including long-term prison sentences." It's clear that Trump is seeking retribution against those he believes have wronged him, but the question remains - who will be on the receiving end of his wrath?
One of Trump's main targets has been President Joe Biden. Trump has repeatedly accused Biden of criminal activity and has even threatened to appoint a special prosecutor to go after him. He has also attempted to link Biden to his son Hunter's business dealings, but so far, no substantial evidence has been found to support these claims. Trump's animosity towards Biden has been evident in his speeches, including one in June where he called Biden "the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America" and referred to the "entire Biden crime family."
Another person on Trump's list for revenge is Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith. Smith was appointed to investigate Trump's possible criminal charges, and Trump has made it clear that he plans to fire him once he is in office. In a conversation with a conservative podcast host, Trump stated, "Oh, it's so easy. I would fire him within two seconds." Smith is just one of the many individuals involved in federal cases against Trump that have faced backlash from the president-elect.
Former US House of Representatives member Liz Cheney is also a target of Trump's revenge. Cheney was one of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump and has been vocally critical of him. Trump has gone as far as to suggest that Cheney should be put in the line of fire and has called her "crazy" and "evil" during his campaign events. However, Cheney has stood her ground and stated that she will not be intimidated by Trump's threats.
Another Democrat who has fallen victim to Trump's backlash is Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi appointed members to the January 6 committee to investigate the attack on the US Capitol, including Cheney and other individuals that Trump has vilified. Pelosi has been a vocal critic of Trump, and he has responded by calling her "crazy as a bed bug" and a "horrible human being."
Former Republican nominee Mitt Romney is another significant figure that has faced Trump's wrath. Romney, who previously stated that he would not vote for Trump in the 2020 election, has been one of seven Republican senators to vote to convict Trump on the charge of incitement to insurrection. Other high-profile Republicans who have refused to endorse Trump include Jerry Moran and Rand Paul.
Lastly, Trump's former vice president, Mike Pence, has also been a target of his revenge. Despite serving under Trump's first term, Pence refused to block Congress from certifying the 2020 election results, causing a rift between the two. Pence has also stated that he will not endorse Trump for a second term and has denounced him, saying, "I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president." Trump's social media attacks have been directed towards Pence, along with other former colleagues who have turned against him.
In conclusion, it's clear that Trump is seeking vengeance against those he believes have wronged him. From political opponents to former colleagues, Trump's list for revenge seems to be ever-growing. It remains to be seen how far he will go to make good on his threats, but one thing is for sure - his second term as President will not be without controversy.
