During Donald Trump’s entire campaign, the President-elect made it clear that he will return the fire on anyone who tried to get in his way of returning to the White House. Now that he has won his election battle, many are wondering if he will actually follow through.
Trump has already targeted Republican U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, who vice-chaired the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riots. In a recent interview, he said she should stand in the line of fire.
Just last month, Trump said on a conservative radio talk show that Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, a U.S. citizen prosecuting the federal charges against him, should be deported, and has also come for Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ who’s been handling his racketeering case.
In September he also declared on his platform Truth Social, “WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again.” Trump has also called out even more opponents, political figures and even the media.

Now these warning and threats are not just coming from Trump. With him being reelected as president, we can expect loud and proud disrespect from some of the Republicans, and unfortunately, we’re already witnessing that.
On Thursday, Republican lawyer Mike Davis, an adviser for Donald Trump who is being considered as his potential attorney general, appeared on a right-wing podcast this week. During the episode, he took a sharp jab at New York Attorney General Letitia James. Now, as many are aware, James sued the former president for committing business fraud and won a $454 million civil judgment against him as well as the Trump Organization.
Although Trump has appealed and plans to confront these legal issues head-on once he makes his way back into the White House , Davis is sending a warning to James to make a huge change before Trump officially takes office. “Let me just say this to big Tish James: I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” Davis stated on Benny Johnson’s “Benny Show” podcast. “Because, listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”
He continued, “So, think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump‘s constitutional rights or any other American‘s constitutional rights. It’s not gonna happen again.”
THIS IS F-CKING SCARY:

While Letitia James has not commented on these disrespectful remarks, she did address Trump’s victory in a statement on Wednesday, saying: “I am ready to do everything in my power to ensure our state and nation do not go backwards. … We will work each and every day to defend Americans, no matter what this new administration throws at us. We are ready to fight back again.”
Donald Trump will officially be sworn in as the 47th president on January 20th during his inauguration.
