When it comes to karma and payback, both things are often imbued with the same sentiment…namely that they’re both a word that isn’t fit for print in this publication.
Indeed, life and karma can both be witches, with a capital B, and this has never been truer in the American two-party political system. And so, when President Joe Biden’s DOJ raided the home of his likely 2024 opponent, the rhetoric got rather heated in a hurry.
This is when Donald Trump seemed to endorse the idea of paying a visit with the FBI to the homes of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, an Joe Biden, should the GOP firebrand breeze through the presidential election of 2024.
Former President Donald Trump and his allies are ramping up warnings that Trump might seek payback for the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago club if he recaptures the presidency.
On Wednesday, Trump posted a link to an article headlined “The Payback for Mar-a-Lago Will Be Brutal” on his Truth Social account.
This escalation could create a terrible feedback loop.
The article, an op-ed penned by the Wall Street Journal’s conservative editorial board member Kimberley Strassel, argues that the FBI search of Trump’s Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago could set off “a toxic cycle of reprisal and escalation” once Republicans get back into power. Strassel suggested that a future Republican-controlled Department of Justice may decide to start raiding the homes of prominent Democrats, including President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, and former Attorney General Eric Holder.
The suggestion appears to be a reaction to the unbelievable escalation brought on by the Biden administration, and a warning to all who may cross Trump in the future.
