Summary

Critics of Donald Trump, including Democratic lawmakers and former officials, are preparing for potential retribution if he returns to the White House.

Fears include arrests, weaponized investigations, and targeted violence, as Trump and allies have called for revenge against perceived enemies, such as lawmakers, intelligence officials, and journalists.

Preparations range from hiring security to planning for exile. Critics warn that Trump’s next administration could be more organized and aggressive in using legal and institutional tools for retaliation.

Concerns over rising political violence and weakened checks on presidential power underscore the risks.

      Jimmy Kimmel for sure, but also Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and the entire Daily Show team.

      He does have a special place of hatred in him for Kimmel though. He has for years. What happened at the Oscars made it worse.

      He can have Kimmel. John Oliver needs around the clock security.

        John Oliver needs a little bit of a hiatus I wouldn’t trust him being around here with or without security.
