Opinions Trump is the ultimate sore winner. Now he'll seek revenge.

Donald Trump has always been a sore loser, but if we’ve learned anything over the past three years of his presidency, it’s that he’s also a sore winner. Not content with being elected, he’s still angry at his 2016 opponent and cannot stop talking about her. He’s angry at his predecessor for having respect from the global community and most Americans that Trump himself has not earned. He’s even angry at Republicans like his former attorney general Jeff Sessions, who’ve publicly humiliated themselves to demonstrate fealty to him, for not publicly humiliating themselves enough.

So since his acquittal Wednesday, despite mountains of evidence that he was guilty and admissions even from a Republican who voted for acquittal that Democrats had proved their case, he has not exactly displayed the humility or relief you’d expect from a guilty party who’s handed a pass. Trump was acquitted — and boy, was he mad about it!

That was clear immediately after the Senate vote, when the White House put out a statement Wednesday evening with a call for revenge against the people who would hold Trump accountable. “Will there be no retribution?” the statement asked, in ominous biblical tones. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham went on Fox News the next morning to preview the president’s post-acquittal comments and reinforce his ludicrous claims that he was victimized: “I think he’s going to also talk about just how horribly he was treated and that maybe people should pay for that.” At the White House on Thursday, during what he said was a “celebration” of the acquittal, Trump called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) a “horrible person,” said she and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) were “vicious and mean,” accused Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), the only Republican to vote to remove Trump from office, of using “religion as a crutch” and said he doubted that Pelosi really prays. “It was all bulls---,” he summed up.

The answer to “will there be retribution?” is, of course, yes. There will be retribution, and it will be wide-ranging, an epic waste of taxpayer money, an incredible abuse of the executive branch and the resources that come with it, and contemptibly small-minded and petty.
