Speculations arise on possible retaliatory measures against political opponents following Donald Trump's election victory in the United States. Trump, who declared himself the winner prior to the official confirmation of the election, speaking of a "golden age", is preparing his administration while some of his adversaries now fear consequences. Is Trump planning a "purge"? Here is the situation:
After the Victory: Is Trump Seeking Revenge on His Critics?
During the election campaign, Trump had hinted several times that he wanted to take revenge on those who, in his view, had treated him unfairly, although he explicitly ruled out violence. Trump's victory and his prospect of a final term could give him greater freedom in his decisions, as he does not have to run for re-election after this term. Particularly left-wing officials and representatives of the immigration authorities are rumored to be the focus of possible "purge actions", as information was often passed on to the media during Trump's first term. Concerns are now circulating in the United States about what Trump's retaliatory measures could mean for his opponents. Some former Trump confidants who had publicly opposed him in the past are already seeking legal support for possible emigration, for fear of reprisals. The number of threats from Trump supporters against political opponents on social media is also increasing.
