In a fiery interview with Univision, former President Donald Trump didn’t hold back in his criticism of President Joe Biden’s administration. The ex-president doubled down on his claims that Biden and his cronies are using the Justice Department and FBI as political weapons against him. “They’ve weaponized the Justice Department, they’ve weaponized the FBI, and they’ve come at me with the worst indictments. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it,” Trump lambasted.
And it doesn’t stop there. Trump even suggested that if he were to win the presidency in 2024, he would use these very same agencies to go after his rivals. The gloves are off, and Trump ain’t holding anything back as he vows to turn the tables on those who have crossed him. “But if they want to follow through on this, yeah, it could certainly happen in reverse. They’ve released the genie out of the box,” Trump threatened.

What’s more, Trump expressed disbelief at the alleged criminal charges against him, claiming that “Nothing like this has ever happened in this country. It does happen in other countries. But these are developing nations. These are third world nations.” The former president seemed to imply that the accusations against him are reminiscent of tactics used in less advanced nations, rather than in the United States.
Furthermore, sources have reported that Trump and his supporters are allegedly concocting plans to utilize the government to seek retribution against his critics if he secures a second term. The list of potential targets reportedly includes former chief of staff John F. Kelly, former Attorney General William Barr, former attorney Ty Cobb, and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley. It’s clear that the ex-president is not pulling any punches when it comes to settling scores with those he believes have wronged him.
In summary, Trump’s bold and unapologetic stance against the alleged weaponization of federal agencies by the Biden administration demonstrates his unwavering commitment to fighting back against what he perceives as unjust persecution. Love him or loathe him, Trump’s outspoken defiance continues to command attention as he gears up for future political battles.
