Former President Donald Trump vows to take revenge on his political opponents should he be elected president again.
During an interview on BlazeTV on Tuesday, Trump spoke with conservative media personality Glenn Beck about what he would do if he won the 2024 presidential election.
“You said in 2016, you know, ‘Lock her up,’” Beck reminded the former president of his statements about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016. “And then when you became president, you said, ‘We don’t do that in America. That’s just not the right thing to do.’”
“That’s what they’re doing,” Beck continued, before asking Trump, “Do you regret not locking her up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”
Trump, who is currently facing four criminal charges for his alleged involvement in the January 6 riots, said that there is “no choice.”
“Well, I’ll give you an example… The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us,” he said, adding that he “never hit Biden as hard as I could have.”
“I always had such great respect for the office of the president and the presidency … And then I heard he was trying to indict me, and it was him that was doing it,” the 45th president continued.
Despite being indicted four times, Trump is still the leading pick as the Republican presidential candidate, according to a recent poll.
Recently, The Economist and YouGov asked around 1,500 U.S. adult citizens between August 26 and 29 who they would vote for if “the Republican presidential primary in your state were held today.”
Results show that 51 percent are in favor of Trump, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis comes in second with 14 percent.
Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy comes in a distant third with five percent. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley comes in fourth with four percent, followed by former Vice President Mike Pence with three percent, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with two percent, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott with two percent.
The survey also asked Republican voters who they would be disappointed to see become the GOP nominee; they were instructed to choose everyone who applied. Only 19 percent of respondents said they would be upset if Trump were the nominee, while 17 percent said the same about DeSantis and 15 percent said the same about Scott.
