Trump Already Plotting His Revenge Against Investigators If He Wins Election - Ring of Fire [View all]



According to new reports, Donald Trump is already plotting out his revenge agenda for a potential second term, and his number one target is the DOJ. Specifically, Trump wants to purge all of the agents at the FBI that have been involved in investigating him, and that would likely just be the beginning. A second Trump term would see him enact his revenge against ALL of his enemies, and Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what that could look like.

According to a new report, Donald Trump is making it clear to his friends and allies and advisors that if he wins a second term as President, it is essentially going to be a revenge term. And one of the first orders of business, of course, will be to purge the DOJ and the F B I of anyone and everyone that has ever participated in an investigation of Donald Trump. And he will then, according to these reports, those people closest to Trump who spoke to Rolling Stone, he will then appoint his loyalists to those positions within the DOJ and the fbi, effectively turning those into the so-called politicized agencies that Republicans want us to believe exist today. So what we have happening, or the potential to have here is Donald Trump doing exactly what Republicans are accusing Democrats of doing, even though they haven't been able to find any evidence of Democrats doing it.

But Republicans are literally already pledging that that is what they are going to do to purge anyone who has a differing ideology to purge anyone who may have participated in a fully legal investigation. And instead, we're going to replace them with people who will politicize the agency and of course, go out there and investigate Democrats for every possible thing you could imagine. Anyone with a D next to their name, anyone who is a progressive, anyone who considers themself a liberal, you will be a target if Donald Trump makes it back to the White House. This is not overstating. It either is not hyperbole. We know exactly what this man wants to do. He has made that abundantly clear. He had already made it clear when he was running for a second term in 2020, that the next term was gonna be all about revenge. That he was gonna go after the people who allegedly went after him.

He was gonna go after his enemies, both on the left and on the right. And now he is literally telling his uh, uh, people around him who spoke to Rolling Stone that this is what I'm gonna do. I am going to go on a revenge tour. Everyone is a target at this point. Now, as it stands right now, we do not have the names publicly of the individuals that have been involved in investigations involving Donald Trump. Uh, there was a FOIA request by one of the folks over at Judicial Watch that for some reason wanted the names of these people and the agency was like, no, that is a massive invasion of privacy. We're not going to do that. But if Trump is president, he would have the authority to find out who these people are. It probably wouldn't take him all that long to do it either. He will have his handpicked Attorney General at that point.

He'll find out who these people are, and I think it's probably gonna go a little bit worse than just firing them. He will make these people's lives hell. He will try to get his folks to come up with some kind of bogus charges so that he can put them all in prison. That's what we're looking at with a Trump second term. It's not just that he has horrible policies, it's that this is a man hell bent on revenge. That's all he thinks about all day, every day. He wants that power again because he realizes now he didn't go after his enemies hard enough during the first term. So he needs that second term so that he can make all of us that have gone against them, uh, against him pay whatever price it is. He feels we have to pay.
