Donald Trump’s election as the 47th President of the United States has the entire globe clutching its breath.
Vice President Kamala Harris, his opponent, also claims that the 78-year-old may be about to take action against his “enemies list.”
In a speech on October 30, Harris declared, “Donald Trump will enter that office with a list of enemies on day one.”
Speaking at the White House Ellipse last Sunday, Harris reiterated her assertion from the days leading up to the election (5 November) that Trump “intends to prosecute” persons on his alleged “enemies list.”
“We stand on the verge of the four greatest years in American history,” Trump stated in a speech the same day Harris made his comments. You observe. It will be fantastic. It will be a lot of fun.
“It will occasionally be unpleasant, especially in the beginning. However, it will be something.
Trump has not responded to the so-called enemies list, which has been likened to former President Richard Nixon’s 1970s schemes to make life tough for his rivals.
However, Trump has voiced his opinions about some individuals and the actions he believes should be taken against them. Who might he look at now that he is president?
Trump will take over as president after Joe Biden’s inauguration in January 2025. However, they have a more than icy connection.
The president-elect claimed that Biden had stolen the 2020 presidential election from him, and Trump was charged for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, invasion of the US Capitol building.
On social media, Trump wrote: “I will appoint a real special ‘prosecutor’ to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the USA, Joe Biden and the entire Biden crime family, and all others involved with the destruction of our elections, borders and country itself.”
Starmer Sir Keir and the Labour Party
Even though Sir Keir Starmer was only appointed prime minister of the United Kingdom in the summer, he has faced a cold greeting from Trump in the lead-up to the election.
Trump accused Starmer’s Labour Party of ‘illegally intervening in the US presidential race’ because a few volunteers traveled to the United States to campaign for the Democrats during their own time. He said that Labour was ‘far left’ and that it had ‘influenced Kamala’s dangerously liberal ideas and rhetoric’.
The visit itself is not novel; Republicans have previously visited the Conservative Party in a similar manner. And as Trump celebrates his win as president, Nigel Farage is currently with his staff.
A strong Trump supporter, Elon Musk, the CEO of X and Tesla, even called the prime minister a “two-tier Keir” in response to the summer riots in England.
Given that Starmer disclosed that he had a private meal with Trump in September and that they liked each other’s company while he was on the campaign trail, it’s possible that there is more to the rhetoric than meets the eye.
Liz Cheney
In the 2024 US presidential race, Trump attacked Liz Cheney, a former Republican heavyweight.
The president-elect, a fervent Trump supporter in the party who ran for Harris, said at one rally that Cheney ought to “see how she feels when the guns are trained on her face.”
“All right,” he continued, “let’s have her standing there with a gun pointed at her with nine barrels. When the weapons are aimed directly at her face, we’ll see how she reacts.
This came months after Trump demanded that she be imprisoned, and Cheney interpreted it as a death threat.
Harris Kamala
Trump may have a different perspective on Harris even though he recently defeated her to become president and might put an end to her prominent career in US politics.
Trump claimed that his opponent ought to be “impeached and prosecuted” throughout the election campaign.
Why? over her administration of the border between the United States and Mexico, which she oversees as vice president. Given that he has made completing the construction of the border wall a top priority, it is unclear if he will pursue her.
Clinton, Hillary
The shocking outcome of Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election established the tone that has characterized American politics ever since.
Trump frequently referred to Clinton as “crooked Hillary” during the campaign, and he encouraged the crowd to yell “lock her up.” Trump himself stated at a rally in North Carolina: “They should lock her up for what she’s done.”
Additionally, he would say in California: “Hillary Clinton must be imprisoned, okay? She must be sent to prison.
It is unclear whether Trump will follow through on his rhetoric after taking office in January 2025, as Clinton saw no action taken against her during his first term.
Obama, Barack
In 2020, Trump accused Barack Obama of’spying’ on his campaign to unseat Obama’s former vice president, Joe Biden.
He called Obama’s conduct ‘treason’.
He declared in an interview with CNN: “It is treason.” You see, I claimed that they had been eavesdropping on my campaign when I came out a long time ago.
