Former President Donald Trump’s revenge rhetoric took a disturbing turn with his latest message: ‘HAUL OUT THE GUILLOTINE!’
The phrase went out to his supporters in a Trump campaign fundraising email blast on Wednesday.
At first glance it may appear directed toward Trump’s political enemies, but it is actually accusing his opponents of seeking to behead him, and frames him as the victim.
‘Remember when that Sicko Kathy Griffin made the rounds parading my BEHEADED head when I was President?!’ states the email, referring to a 2017 photo of the American comedian holding a fake decapitated head that looked like Trump.

‘The radical-left CHEERED! Obama and Biden were SILENT! And the Fake News BLASTED it everywhere!’
Trump continued with his oft-used line implying that he is protecting his fans from Democrats and liberals.
‘The SAD and HORRIFIC TRUTH is that this is STILL the Sick Dream of every Trump-Deranged lunatic out there! And it’s not just me they want gone, THEY’RE REALLY COMING AFTER YOU,’ wrote the ex-president.

The email concluded with, ‘SICK SICK SICK!’ and included a link to donate to his 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump has been railing against his opponents even harder since becoming the first US president to be a convicted felon after a New York jury found him guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial.
His opponents believe he is fighting even harder to win the White House in order to escape punishment. Trump’s sentencing in the hush money case is scheduled for July 11, and he faces probation or conditional discharge to up to four years in prison per offense.

Trump is known to use fiery language in his fundraising pitches.
After he was criminally convicted on May 30, his campaign received a ‘record-shattering’ $34.8million in small dollar amount donations.
Trump, who called on his fans to fight the 2020 election results, was accused of using language inciting violence in the Capitol riot. Some of his supporters erected gallows and a noose on the west front of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
