As Donald Trump flew from New Jersey to Florida on Monday to face the federal justice system, he vowed to exact political revenge for his historic indictment on charges of mishandling classified documents.
In a scorching social media post, Trump said that, if elected to the White House again in 2024, he would appoint his own “real special prosecutor” to “go after” Joe Biden and his “crime family”.
The comments marked a rhetorical escalation against the sitting US president and America’s democratic norms and brought clarity to Trump’s political strategy in the face of the charges on which he will be arraigned in a Miami court on Tuesday.
