The former president has done at least five interviews since his guilty verdict. In all five, he has talked about possible retribution.

Donald Trump wants to talk about revenge, and neither Sean Hannity nor Dr. Phil can stop him. 

Both have tried. 

Fresh off his historic guilty verdict in New York, Trump’s public comments, including in interviews with both men, have increasingly focused on the idea of “retribution” against his enemies if he returns to the White House

It’s rhetoric driven by Trump’s obsession that President Joe Biden and Democrats orchestrated a series of legal problems intended to derail his presidential campaign — a political persecution theory not supported by the facts. 

On May 31, a New York jury unanimously found Trump guilty on 34 counts related to falsifying business records tied to a $130,000 payment he made to an adult film star during the 2016 election. The Biden administration had nothing to do with the case.

But for Trump, it’s all politics, and revenge may need to be meted out.
