Now that the election has culminated with Trump being thrust into the seat of power once again….there are concerns that he will make good on some of his veiled promises to get even with those that he thinks have wronged him in some way.
For your convenience I have found a list of those opponents to watch to see what the lord of the manor will do…people like Harris, Biden, Pelosi et al…..
Donald Trump ran a campaign based on retribution. Now he is perfectly positioned to carry it out.
For years, Trump has peppered his speeches and social media posts with vengeful calls for his political opponents, his critics and members of the media to be prosecuted, locked up, deported and even executed. In the waning weeks of the 2024 campaign, he escalated those promises of retaliation to a fever pitch.
Now that he’s won, he has both a popular mandate — and the power — to begin implementing his platform of punishment.
But others — including some of Trump’s closest advisers — have warned ominously that he’s far more likely to follow through in a second term. He won’t be inhibited by the need to run for reelection. He will be emboldened by a Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents broad immunity from criminal accountability after they leave office. And he is expected to be surrounded by aides more willing to dispense with norms to carry out his wishes.
Based on Trump’s own words, here are the people who have the most to fear.
President Joe Biden
Trump has frequently called Biden corrupt and, in June, reposted a Truth Social message that said he should be “arrested for treason.” In a speech last year, Trump vowed: “I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family.”
Vice President Kamala Harris
Trump has described Harris’ failure to control migration as so severe that people have been “murdered because of her action at the border.” He told a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in September that Harris “should be impeached and prosecuted” for her role in permitting what he termed an “invasion” of the U.S. by undocumented immigrants.
Former President Barack Obama
In 2020, Trump accused Obama of “treason” for what Trump describes as the FBI’s surveillance of his 2016 presidential campaign over its ties to Russia. In fact, the email snooping was aimed at a former foreign policy adviser to that campaign.
In August of this year, Trump reposted a message on Truth Social calling for “public military tribunals” for Obama.
And the list goes on….

He will try to ‘get’ all those people that have somehow wronged him…..us peons that are not too fond of him will be safe for his minions will neutralize us at every turn.
Can you think of anyone else not on the list?
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
who else is on his list? Heck, it could be anyone, including current and past employees, even family and friends. He’s proven over and over again that no one is safe. If there is any advantage in it at all for him, he’ll turn on anyone and everyone.
That seems to be the prevailing thinking. chuq
Someone else who is on the list is every living person who voted democrat– and before you contest this idea, remember that the voting affiliations of every single voter in the country are on easily accessible public records for anyone who wants to bring them up to see…so every voter in this country who ever registered as anything other than Republican are courting a potential purge or spending the rest of their lives in “Re-Educaton Camps.” — And they are not against building camps because someone already said that the mass deportations will take awhile because it will take time to build — detention camps. That is already in the making; that is already the plan. So go ahead and add everyone who ever voted for anybody except Republicans to your list of those scheduled for retribution. The Gulags are being readied.
Seems his haters have convinced many that what you’ve described is on the horizon. I don’t believe any of this tripe. Besides , our system does not allow for such a course to evolve primarily because no one would support or enforce such anti American sinfullness. We have a citizen law enforcement model and a citizen composed army not blind brownshirts. Their loyalty is to their families and the Constitution not punitive hate from any man and that integrity of democracy will protect us all.
A vandetta is getting even for evil done to a person. What evil was done to Trump ? The list is long. Who did it ? The list is long. I’d be pissed with over a decade of non stop persecution and it seems his haters are ready to make his life miserable for next four years too. Yep, I’d be pissed. Why is it OK for them to play ugly and hateful “hardball” against Trump and wrong when he returns the ball ? I don’t think he’ll have time for retribution with all the damage that must be repaired. Anyway, I recall him saying words to this effect: “I will get even by my success. ” He wants success which means success for the nation to be his legacy not spewing well deserved retributon. He would leave them in their own mud showing that kind of class. He’d show them all what kind of president he will be by closing the door on retribution and the vandetta. That would show real character and tarnish and refute all their lies better than anything he could devise. I hope wisdom sends him on such a path.
So far I have seen or heard nothing that would lead me to believe that our country will be a success…..class? Him? Surely you jest. chuq
We will see what he attempts, or if he just settled into his throne and watches as others try outlandish shenanigans and when they fail he will sell them down the river and play another round of golf…
I will be writing about what we may expect come 2025 from him……chuq
One other point: we’ll see how his base responds to attempts to roll back their subsidies and entitlements…because that day is coming and his base is heavily dependent on government handouts no matter how much they blame migrants for it
I do not know….Mississippi has been rolling back those things for decades and the voters still embrace the GOP no matter how much damage they do to their lives. chuq
Interesting point…didn’t know that.
They definitely vote against their best interests. chuq
There is nothing illegal or untoward about having someone investigated through a legal process. Investigation, presentation or results to a grand jury or to the public. I don’t think he will go through with any of those threats once he gets into office. He decided not to prosecute Hillary because it would have been bad for the country. I expect the same go happen this time. A lot of his statements are just bluster, bluffs, and noise with no intent to follow through.
But future behavior is hard to predict. We will see shat happens once he takes office.
I hope you are right but many think he is just that damn vindictive. chuq
I can only imagine that his list is huge! Now he is in the process of being pardoned for his crimes, I suspect he might wait to take revenge on his perceived enemies. But with Trump, you never know,,,
Best wishes, Pete.
He has been a con man all his life maybe this is just his chest thumping….I do that is the case. chuq
