'This man loves retaliation': Ex-Trump staffer 'genuinely afraid' of possible second term

[winetourdriver01]

"The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin worked for Donald Trump, and she's "genuinely afraid" of him serving a second term as president.

Griffin served as White House director of strategic communications under the former president, and she told her co-hosts that Trump would likely spend his next term exacting revenge from all his enemies if he made it back into power.

1. I would look at leaving the United States if he were reelected.

No doubt in my mind he or DeSantis would go full Nazi if given the opportunity. And Fox News would gladly hand it to them.

3. That's why I'm keeping both eyes on DeSantis. Florida is a test run.

4. Yes, Trump is scary, but DeSantis is fucking crazy.

2. Omarosa said the same after she left wrt the first term. 'It's not going to be OK....' for US nt

8. Michael Cohen has also been saying as much.

And, we all saw it first-hand with the revelation that he sicced the IRS on Comey and McCabe, among other incidents. To say that Trump is a vindictive fuck is not exactly a revelation.

5. TFG has made it clear that he will retaliate against anyone he considers disloyal

That means that TFG would want to punich the 81 million US citizens who voted for President Biden

6. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.

Tell us something we don't already know, Alyssa.

7. True enough

But we can cite to her remarks when denouncing the former guy to his fanboiz.

10. Good point, and I'm sure some of his fangurlz watch "The View."

They might not otherwise hear that information, as it will never penetrate their media bubble, otherwise.

9. The US wouldn't survive 4 more years of Trump

We might be still called the United States, but the country's democracy would be finished and the American Way of Life would be over. The idea of a free society would be behind us.

11. I believe that revenge is the reason Trump ran the first time and is the reason he is running now.

12. Trump's second term

would be grievance filled political retaliation against anyone who wasn’t sufficiently loyal.

One of those inside the Trump White House books described how people were afraid to say a public goodbye to anyone Trump had fired because he’d notice and take it out on them, too.

13. After all the public freakouts in which Trump has enganged, this shouldn't be...

...surprising to amyone. After all, he's one of the thinnest-skinned public figures who has ever lived. It's likely that Obama chiding him at a WH Correspondents Dinner was the impetus for Trump to run for office. (The chiding was also not unsolicited; Trump had hijacked the "truther" movement re: the Obama birth certificate, and rode that train for more than five years).
