Former President Donald Trump said he will not “have time for retribution” during a second term in the White House in an apparent walk-back of comments made earlier in the campaign. Trump sat with Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum during a live town hall event in Iowa on Wednesday evening. The Trump event took place as CNN held a debate between Trump’s Republican primary foes‚ Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. Baier asked Trump about the time the former president plans to spend on “retribution and looking backwards” during a second term. “How much of the second term of a Donald Trump presidency … would be about retribution and looking backwards and grievances and how much would be looking forward?” Baier asked. “Well‚ first of all‚ a lot of people would say that’s not so bad‚” Trump responded. “Look‚ what they did: Russia‚ Russia‚ Russia hoax; the FBI/Twitter hoax; the 51 intelligence agents hoax – all of these different hoaxes that they did. You know‚ a lot of people would say that’s probably quite normal.” “I’m not going to have time for retribution‚” Trump continued. “We’re going to make this country so successful again‚ I’m not going to have time for retribution. And remember this: our ultimate retribution is success.” HOST: “How much of a Donald Trump presidency…would be about RETRIBUTION…and how much would be about looking forward?” TRUMP: “I’m not going to have time for retribution. We’re going to make this country so successful again‚ I’m not going to have time for it.” pic.twitter.com/NFMODtKyru — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) January 11‚ 2024 The comments appear to be a step back from a pledge he made to his supporters earlier in the campaign‚ promising to be their “justice” and “retribution.” “In 2016‚ I declared‚ ‘I am your voice.’ Today I add: I am your warrior‚ I am your justice‚ and for those that have been wronged and betrayed‚ I am your retribution. I am your retribution‚” he told a CPAC crowd in March of last year to loud applause. “I will totally obliterate the deep state. I will fire the unelected bureaucrats and shadow forces who have weaponized our justice system like it has never been weaponized before. It’s sick. These are sick people‚” Trump continued. “I will put the people back in charge of this country again. The people will be back in charge of our country.” The dueling events – Trump’s town hall and the DeSantis/Haley debate – took place less than a week ahead of the first primary contest in Iowa‚ scheduled for January 15.

“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg claimed on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump planned to round people up and put them into “camps” if he ever won a second term in the White House. During a discussion with her cohosts about the upcoming 2024 presidential election‚ Goldberg argued that inflation and the inability to keep up with household bills would pale in comparison to what Trump might do with another four years. WATCH: Omg… They are Freaking TF out 😂 Crusty #Whoopi on the View tells Americans not to worry about paying their bills because Trump will do worse— Donald Trump will put Americans into camps now. No‚ Whoopi (dumbazz name come on) you're projecting again 🤣🥲🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣… pic.twitter.com/Yt4pgKapug — 🇺🇲Salty Texan (@texan_maga) January 10‚ 2024 “What’s interesting for me is that people’s faith in the country is waning‚” Goldberg began. “That’s the thing that’s pissing me off‚ because‚ in fact‚ there’s a reason Joe Biden ran the way he did. There’s a reason he’s running for democracy now‚ because that’s really what’s at stake.” “You’re worried that you can’t pay your bills?” she continued. “Wait ’til he — the other guy — becomes president‚ and you won’t have to worry about it because you’ll be in some camp somewhere.” “‘Cause that’s his promise‚” she insisted. “His promise to us is he’s going to force people to do his bidding‚ that’s what he said. ‘I’m going to be good on day one‚ and I’m going to turn into this other person.'” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “So here’s the deal: this is all up to you‚” Goldberg turned to the audience then‚ saying that people voting to stop Trump was the only was to prevent the terrible things she claimed would happen otherwise. “Do you want the country that you kind of thought we had‚ where we all get to say what we think and we don’t have to be afraid of being American?” she asked. She then pivoted to discuss illegal immigration in vague terms‚ saying that some people came into the country in different ways than others — and she claimed that Americans had to accept that because those people were coming from places that were “not good.” “Fight for that. Don’t fight for keeping everybody out‚ because then we all have to leave‚” she claimed.

This year holds incivility‚ unpredictability‚ and turmoil. But God is on His throne and above the fray. His word will come to pass. His plan will prevail.

Sooner or later‚ our sins will find us out. It may not happen today or a week from now. It may not even happen a month or a year from now. But the Bible teaches that ultimately‚ we will reap what we sow.

We want to be the sole protector of our people and our circumstances‚ we want to be the guide of our life‚ we want to be the redeemer of hardships we face‚ and we want to act as Savior.
