Former President Donald Trump said Democrats may be prosecuted in his next term if he’s elected again in November since they set the political precedent against him.
Trump was asked by Newsmax host Greg Kelly on Wednesday if his conviction in the Manhattan trial could serve as a “net positive” for him.
“Well, they’re nasty people,” he replied. “They’re crooked as hell. They’re nasty, vicious people.”
TRUMP ON HILLARY: “Wouldn't it be terrible to throw the President's wife and the former Secretary of State into jail? Wouldn't that be a terrible thing? But they wanna do it!

Trump continued:
Does that mean the next president does it to them? That’s really the question. You know, I said on a recent show that I did, a good show, good people, you would like these people even though they’re competitors. But you know, when I mentioned Hillary’s name, they’d all scream “Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!” And everybody got a kick out of it and all…
He went on to say that he declined to pursue prosecutions against Hillary Clinton because it would set a bad political precedent, which Joe Biden has now set instead.
And wouldn’t it be really bad like, as an example, Hillary with the hammering of her cell phones and all of the things she did, but wouldn’t it be terrible to throw the president’s wife and the former secretary of state– you think of it, the former secretary of state, but the president, the president’s wife into jail?
“Wouldn’t that be a terrible thing? But they want to do it. So, you know, it’s like it’s, it’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to,” Trump said.
“And it’s very possible that it’s gonna have to happen to them,” he added.
The media and Biden administration have been sounding the alarm about Trump’s remarks, warning he’ll probably prosecute them the way they’ve done to him which resulted in 34 felony counts in NYC.

X users panned the Biden campaign for its complete lack of self awareness after it released a statement warning Trump will “jail his political opponents” if elected.

You all realize that’s EXACTLY why people are voting for him right?
We want retribution.

Dear democrats, because the media lies to you, I’ll explain Trump’s crimes while you’re here:
– Cohen paid Stormy for an NDA. Trump owed Cohen for legal fees and for this. Trump’s team made it an even amount monthly, because Cohen was hired as his acting private counsel.

Did you seriously just post this after literally convicting your political opponent on 34 felonies over the same clerical error Hillary Clinton made when she paid for the Steele Dossier and categorized it as “legal services”?! Unreal. pic.twitter.com/0NBmYer3AB

LOL. Joe Biden and his Democrat Party quite literally just tried and convicted his main challenger on bogus charges with a conflicted judge.
They also kept RFK Jr. off Democrat primary ballots and are trying to keep him and Trump of general election ballots.

Only in Trump’s case, he’ll have the law on his side given Biden’s foreign business scandals, the Democrats’ Russia collusion hoax coup and 2020 election interference regarding the censoring of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
