On Trump’s Michael Corleone Moment

An excerpt from Trump’s 2025 inaugural speech:

“Everyone knows that Lincoln called for malice towards none and charity for all in his Second Inaugural Address. That was weak. The president needs to punish his enemies. He needs revenge and justice. The country’s enemies need to be exterminated. Only then can we move on as before.

You’re probably familiar with the scene in “The Godfather” where Michael Corleone settles all of his existing scores with his enemies. In that vein, even as we speak, I am ordering the arrests of all of the vermin who stole the country away from me and real America. The entirety of the Biden crime family, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Fani Willis, Justice Merchan, Alvin Bragg, Merrick Garland, and Jack Smith are all being transported to Guantanamo Bay this morning. They will never see America again. They will die in jail next to ISIS terrorists.

Why? Because they’re terrorists, too. They’re horrible people. Horrible. They interfered with our election. They prosecuted the innocent tourists who brought such love to the Capitol on January 6. They stole the country away from the real people. Now they’re getting their just desserts.

Oh, and by the way, anyone who comes out and complains about this will either join them or be shot by my great military. I’m not Biden. I’m strong. We have our country back now. We’re going to make it great again.
