A fundraising email from former President Donald Trump echoed the French Revolution when it said that his political opponents plan to “Haul out the Guillotine!” for him.

“Remember when that Sicko Kathy Griffin made the rounds parading my beheaded head when I was President?! The radical-left cheered!” Mr. Trump said in the fundraising email sent Wednesday, which frequently lapsed into yelling all-capital letters.

“The sad and horrific truth is that this is still the Sick Dream of every Trump-Deranged lunatic out there!” he said. “And it’s not just me they want gone, they’re really coming after you!”

The former president was found guilty late last month on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush-money case involving porn actress Stormy Daniels.

Mr. Trump and his allies have railed against the conviction, calling it “rigged,” the product of a “two-tiered” justice system, and blaming President Biden and the Democrats for “weaponizing” law enforcement for political ends.

Mr. Trump said later in the email that the verdict “didn’t make me flinch.”

The presumptive Republican nominee has been going back and forth on the idea of revenge, often repeating the mantra that succeeding as president would be the best form of vengeance but also saying earlier this month in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity that he would “have every right to go after them.”

“When this election is over, based on what they’ve done, I would have every right to go after them,” he said.

But he also said the idea of him using the justice system to go after his political enemies is “wrong” and “it has to stop because otherwise we’re not going to have a country.”

In a separate interview with Newsmax last week he said “It’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to, and it’s very possible that it’s going to have to happen to them.”

“Does that mean the next president does it to them? That’s really the question, you know,” he said.
