    Define "revenge"? Cancel some Executive Orders? Appoint conservative judges and other appointees. Begin a full scale investigation int 2020 elections? Those kind of things.

    Replace "revenge" with "justice".

    He should do exactly everything that the Biden administration has done ( except for the part about driving America into the ground and inviting all of the third world illiterates to come here freely ) because after all Democrats tell us that it's all above board and perfectly legal

    Well then no, I don't support revenge that is not justice.

    But I don't rule out forms of (in this case legal) revenge that is justice.

    The real question this comes down to, the controversial part, is did some of these officials in government positions do something that was illegal or a misuse of their positions?
    I doubt we're ever all going to come to any agreement about that in this forum.

    If he doesn’t, what lesson will Dems learn? It’s unfortunate but Democrats are like little children that have to learn there are consequences to their behavior. Only then will they grow to be adults

    I think he should fire everyone within executive jurisdiction and replace them all with new people who have never served in govt before.

    I would prefer this be done simply to eliminate corruption. But if its done as 'revenge', well, good enuff.

    I'm serious, even just pulling randos off the street couldn't do worse out of incompetence than the crap we got in there now intentionally undermining our nation for globalism. Our federal DC craphole needs a good hard enema.

    No, but he might. I do support Trump ridding the government of his ardent opponents.

    1st off it would technically be JUSTICE, not "revenge"
    2nd, the answer for me is NO! I don't want him using the only 4 years he would have for a personal agenda. I'd much rather see Nikki as the front runner but it looks like Trump's numbers are gonna be hard for her to beat.
    We've seen what a revenge administration looks like (BIDEN) and it ain't good!

    Come now. Surely we're past that. Especially after the facts in the E. Jean Carroll and NY fraud cases lead a jury and judge respectively to find him guilty of sexual assault and a scheme to defraud banks, insurance companies, and NY.

    Should he have sought revenge against the students who attended his fraudulent real estate school for filing a suit against him? Or NY state officials for fining him $2M and shutting down the charitable foundation he stole from?

    Trump will do it "under the legitimate efforts of the Constitution" as that precedent has already been set by others. He can weaponize the DOJ and have his opponents arrested for "crimes"....

    Of course not that would make him seem like a small, petty man not a leader.

    Trump has already defined "revenge". He will, at a minimum, prosecute his political opponents for no reason. But those will be the lucky ones.

    If Trump wins the left will claim everything he does is to benefit he and his family, or revenge, or racist or sexist or .............

    If Trump wins we're in for 4 more years of propaganda and spin bull poop.
    Same with Biden.
    Now, if Haley won, there'd still be a lot of bull poop flung about, but my prediction is, it will get much better for America.

    Republicans will defend criminals as long as they share the same ideology. Trump nailed it when he said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single supporter.

    The DOJ in 2024 must appoint a special counsel to investigate and prosecute the criminal conspiracy by Biden, Garland, Jack Smith, Jay Bratt, Alvin Bragg, Matthew Colangelo, Tish James, Fani Willis, Nathan Wade, and others to illegally weaponize law enforcement against Trump..... no matter who wins the presidency... it is their oath and duty to uphold the laws and constitution of our land and root out any corruption

    Surely, we're in the middle of it right now, and it's been going on since 2016.

    If Demokrats got a taste of their own medicine it would be delicious - and hopefully it would put a permanent end to their Soviet-style antics.

    The trouble with Trump is he puts his mouth in gear before activating his brain. He says a lot of stupid things. I don't want him to win the nomination, I'm afraid they will go after him like they did before. But if he wins, I will support the things he does I like and condemn the things he does I don't like. I can't vote for this New Democratic Party that has gone so crazy in their beliefs that even Kennedy wouldn't recognize it if he were alive today. I have been a Democrat a lot longer than a Republican

    Revenge? You mean legal prosecutions? Sure. The ONLY ones actually trying to toss people in jail are DEMOCRATS!! Even though they keep claiming Trump is the dictator, hehe.

    If he can just finish the wall, shut down the border and start mass deportations, remove all DEI from the govt, fix spending, that’s some nice revenge.

    I would expect anyone who does that to correct the record. He never does.

    It baffles me when people confuse Democratic party vs the amplified/manufactured issues on extreme left. We KNOW they don't enact those policies. We DO know Republicans have become more extreme. They labeled all their moderates 'RINOs' and kicked them out of the party, leaving only right-wing extremists in their wake. The Democratic party, on the other hand, keeps their extremists like AOC and 'squad' in the corner so they can govern. You would never see the Democratic party allow extremists take over like we've seen with the other party.
