(DailyVantage.com) – With the 2024 presidential election reaching its closing months, celebrities on both sides of the political spectrum have shared their opinions about the likely candidates, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. One such is MSNBC personality Rachel Maddow, who recently appeared on the popular ABC show “The View” to share her concerns about a second term under Trump. According to Maddow, nobody should consider themselves safe if Trump secured another term in the White House.
Maddow expressed her concerns to Joy Behar, one of the cohosts for “The View,” and talked to Behar about Trump likely harboring a grudge against his critics and political opposition. Behar and Maddow both highlighted Trump’s recent promise to exact retribution against people who’ve wronged him and said that they believe Trump could target anyone from President Joe Biden to people who’ve criticized the former president on social media. The two talk show personalities also said they wouldn’t be shocked if Trump targeted various federal agencies, such as the IRS and the FBI, due to recent investigations and criminal cases involving the former president.
During the interview with Behar, Maddow expressly referred to herself as one of Trump’s likely targets. Maddow has openly opposed Trump since his initial presidential campaign in 2016 and has frequently talked about Trump as a potential threat to the United States. Maddow cites Trump’s various criminal cases and recent allegations that Trump plans to use the Justice Department to charge his political opposition for crimes as evidence of Trump’s plan to enact retribution. Maddow also said that she believes she’ll be fine if Trump targets her due to her financial and legal resources, which she claims other people who Trump may target lack.
Although Maddow focused primarily on Trump’s recent statements regarding his critics and political opposition, she failed to highlight Trump’s various campaign promises that have concerned other world leaders. Trump recently stated that if reelected in November, he’d end the United States’s ongoing support of Ukraine in its war against Russia. According to Trump, Congress should devote more resources to addressing problems within the United States rather than Ukraine.
Trump’s various campaign promises and statements have prompted a renewed wave of criticism against the former president, but despite the criticism, Trump remains one of the most popular Republican officials in the United States. In polls throughout the critical battleground states, Trump maintains a strong support base of approximately 44% of Americans and has even outperformed President Joe Biden in polls over the last few months.
