Trump’s fundraising tactic claims enemies aim to decapitate him: “BRING OUT THE GUILLOTINE
A fundraising email sent by former President Donald Trump’s campaign made dramatic accusations against his opponents, suggesting they wished for his violent decapitation. The email referenced a controversial 2017 incident where comedian Kathy Griffin posed with a mock-up of Trump’s beheaded figure, an act that sparked widespread backlash and nearly ended her career. Trump’s email criticized the left’s response and the lack of condemnation from figures like Obama and Biden, as well as the coverage by mainstream media. Additionally, the fundraising email mentioned Trump’s contemplation of revenge following his recent conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. However, in an interview with Sean Hannity, Trump expressed that he would not pursue retribution if re-elected, emphasizing the importance of national unity.
A fundraising email from former President Donald Trump‘s campaign Wednesday morning suggested his foes want to behead him violently.
“HAUL OUT THE GUILLOTINE!” the email begins before referencing a joke from comedian Kathy Griffin in 2017 that resulted in heavy backlash and nearly ended her career.
“Remember when that Sicko Kathy Griffin made the rounds parading my BEHEADED head when I was President?!” the email continues. “The radical-left CHEERED! Obama and Biden were SILENT! And the Fake News BLASTED it everywhere!”
A text message version of the fundraising email read: “They want me BEHEADED after this verdict!”
Since Trump was found guilty late last month of 34 counts of falsifying business records by a 12-member Manhattan jury, he has toyed back and forth with the idea of revenge.
Last week, Trump told Fox News’s Sean Hannity he wouldn’t focus on retribution if reelected. “It has to stop because otherwise, we’re not going to have a country. … I would have every right to go after them, and it’s easy,” Trump said.
But in an interview with Dr. Phil that aired one day later, Trump said that “sometimes,” revenge is justified.
Now, however, he appears to be saying it is Democrats who are hell-bent on revenge against him, which has helped Trump replenish his financial coffers as he seeks to catch up to President Joe Biden’s fundraising advantage.
“The SAD and HORRIFIC TRUTH is that this is STILL the Sick Dream of every Trump-Deranged lunatic out there!” the email reads before directing readers to a fundraising link. “And it’s not just me they want gone, THEY’RE REALLY COMING AFTER YOU!”
The Biden campaign, however, called Trump’s comments “unhinged” in a response statement to the Washington Examiner.
“Convicted felon Donald Trump is so obsessed with his own election loss that he’s become unhinged, railing about guillotines and beheadings while excusing the violence we saw at our Capitol on Jan. 6 and laying the groundwork for more violence if he loses again,” Biden spokeswoman Sarafina Chitika said.
“The American people have had enough of Trump’s dangerous rhetoric — promising to be a ‘dictator’ on ‘day one’ if he wins and a ‘bloodbath’ if he loses — and they’re ready to reject his extreme vision, protect our democracy, and send President Biden back to the White House this November,” Chitika continued.

As Trump navigates the general election field against Biden, his campaign says the verdict “didn’t make him flinch,” nor will the legal drama he faces stop him.
The former president will meet with House and Senate Republicans in two separate meetings on Thursday in which he is expected to lay out his agenda for 2025 if the GOP gains back the White House.
