OUT FOR BLOOD

Trump Unravels With Wild Demand for Democrats’ Imprisonment

The president is launching a jaw-dropping revenge campaign against Democrats after his midterm drubbing.

President Donald Trump is calling for Democrats to be jailed, ordering the Justice Department to investigate lawmakers who have dared to threaten to hold him and his goons accountable.

The 80-year-old president cast his demand for Democrats’ imprisonment as a response to their threats to investigate members of his administration, particularly Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer.

“The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS, and Republicans should get smart, fast!” he wrote on Truth Social. “Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders. By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!”

Trump doubled down in a second post, declaring, “These SLEAZEBAGS should go to jail for what they are doing.”

The enraged president claimed that Democrats were threatening his donors “with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters.”

Singling out Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, he falsely claimed that the 50-year-old Democrat threatened to “go after all young people that believe in Republican Values.”

He urged his followers to report Democrats’ supposed “illegal” acts to the DOJ—or “directly to me, your President”—before ominously calling on the Senate, still in Republican hands until January, to take action.

“The Senate must act, and stop being pushed around to the point of the Republican Party losing Elections, and worse! Likewise, the DOJ and House of Representatives,” he wrote.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
