Trump warns Biden: ‘Watch your wishes, they can backfire on you too’
Trump Warns Biden: “The Same Can Happen to You”
When former President Donald Trump took to social media early Monday, he had a warning for the current president that Democrats everywhere should be paying attention to.
In the midst of waging the leading campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Trump is battling four blatantly political legal prosecutions, brought by prosecutors who barely hide their partisanship.
And he offered President Joe Biden some advice: “The same can happen to you.”
“Why didn’t Crooked Joe Biden tell his Injustice Department to file the lawsuits and Indictments against me 3 years ago, instead of right in the middle of my campaign for President? You’re setting a BAD precedent for yourself, Joe. The same can happen to you,” Trump wrote.
“These Third World Biden Indictments, which should never have been filed, would have been tried and over with years ago. My SleazeBag Opponent shouldn’t be able to do this during my campaign, OR BEFORE THE ELECTION!”
The operative words there are it “can happen to you.”
Biden might well be wishing for a prosecution of Trump in federal court that will take away a political headache once and for all, but he should be very careful about what he wishes for.
What the Biden Justice Department and special counsel Jack Smith have unleashed in the country is political prosecution dressed up in legal trappings — and a good deal of the country knows it.
An August poll by ABC/Ipsos found that roughly half of Americans consider the Trump prosecutions to be “politically motivated” — that’s a damning statistic for a country whose Founders believed in a government “of laws, and not of men.”
For all their talk about Trump shattering presidential “norms,” it’s Democrats who’ve spent the 21st century pushing their agenda at all costs — then learning that there was a price to be paid when the pendulum of power swung away.
The best example is the Democratic Senate decision to end the filibuster for federal judicial appointments in 2013, with the exception of Supreme Court justices. The idea was to stack the federal judiciary with appointments by then-President Barack Obama, regardless of Republican opposition.
When Republicans returned to power and Trump entered the White House, they simply followed the Democratic precedent to its logical conclusion and ended the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees — paving the way for the current conservative majority that ended the monstrosity of Roe v. Wade, among other decisions.
With the Biden presidency, the Merrick Garland Justice Department is engaged in prosecutions of the kind that are more suited to the banana republics of the Third World, or totalitarian regimes, than the country created by the Founding Fathers.
Trump returned to Truth Social hours after the it “can happen to you post” (presumably after getting some sleep) to renew his complaints.
“Why didn’t they start the totally political BIDEN INDICTMENTS & COURT CASES Three (3) Years Ago, instead of the MIDDLE OF MY CAMPAIGN???” Trump wrote. “Third World Country-ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!”
Unfortunately, the question obviously answers itself. The Biden Justice Department didn’t need to pursue Trump until it was clear that he is the single greatest threat to the continuance of the Democratic regime.
And now it’s doing it with the wild abandon of an unprincipled prosecutor, a clearly biased judge, and an all-too-accommodating establishment media.
No honest person can dispute that — and the suspicious timing of the legal actions against Trump bears it out.
To be fair, not all of Trump’s legal problems are coming from the Biden Justice Department. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis have launched their own partisan attacks on the former president.
But it’s what the Biden administration has done to the federal legal system — the Justice Department, the disturbingly dishonest FBI — that should concern all Americans, including Democrats who are enjoying Trump’s problems now.
Political power in the U.S. isn’t a static affair. Elections have consequences, as the slim House Republican majority is showing with its increasingly powerful case against Biden and the Biden family for almost breathtaking corruption.
After the Democrat-engineered “Russia collusion” hoax that handicapped the Trump presidency, after the trumped-up first impeachment trial of 2019-2020, after the blatantly political prosecutions that have trailed Trump on the campaign trail in his bid to return to the White House, Democrats have gone a long way toward hollowing out a justice system that has stood outside politics.
When they’re out of power and out of the White House — hopefully in January 2025, but inevitably at some point — Democrats are going to have good reason to remember Trump’s warning.
After what Biden has done, and allowed to be done, what’s happening to Trump can happen to anyone.

How do the timing and motivations behind the prosecutions in this article raise questions about the principle of equal justice under the law?
World country!!!”
Trump’s frustration is palpable, and for good reason. The timing of these prosecutions raises significant questions about their motivations and intentions. It is clear that these legal actions are being pursued for political gain rather than for the pursuit of justice.
Furthermore, the fact that these prosecutions were not initiated earlier suggests that there is a calculated effort to disrupt Trump’s political ambitions and undermine his chances of running for president again.
This blatant abuse of power by the Biden administration sets a dangerous precedent for future administrations. If political opponents can be targeted and prosecuted for purely political purposes, then our democracy is in grave danger.
The principle of equal justice under the law is fundamental to our system of government. It ensures that no one is above the law and that all individuals are treated fairly and impartially. But when political motivations are allowed to dictate legal actions, that principle is undermined.
Democrats may claim that they are seeking to hold Trump accountable for his actions, but their actions speak otherwise. They are using the legal system as a weapon to silence and punish their political opponents.
This is not how democracy should work. Our government should be guided by the rule of law, not by partisan politics. The American people deserve better than this.
As Trump warned Biden, “the same can happen to you.” If the current administration continues down this path of political prosecution, they too will be held accountable by the American people.
It is time for Democrats to put aside their partisan agendas and focus on the real issues facing our country. We need leaders who are willing to work together and find common ground, rather than using the legal system as a tool of political warfare.
If we allow this abuse of power to continue, we risk losing the very foundations of our democracy. It is up to us, as Americans, to demand better and hold our leaders accountable for their actions.
As we move forward, let us remember the words of our Founding Fathers and the principles they established. We must strive for a government “of laws, and not of men,” in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms that we hold dear.
Only by upholding these principles can we ensure that our democracy remains strong and vibrant for generations to come.
Biden has a choice to make. Will he continue down the path of political prosecution and further erode the trust and faith of the American people? Or will he reject this dangerous precedent and work towards healing and unity?
The answer to that question will determine the future of our democracy.
