Trump Makes Eyebrow Raising Statement
Republican Byron Donalds stood up for former President Donald Trump, pushing back against statement that Trump has an “list of enemies.” This happened after Trump went viral for referring to certain opponents as “the enemy from within.”
In an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Rep. Donalds dismissed these allegations, explaining that Trump has never been focused on personal vendettas. “For all the American people who are hearing these baseless attacks from the left, let me be clear: Donald Trump has never had an ‘enemies list,’ nor is he committed to any such thing,” said Donalds.
The Florida congressman acknowledged that Trump, like any leader, has critics, but he emphasized that the former president’s focus has always been on serving the American people. “Donald Trump’s primary concern has always been the well-being of the nation, not any personal animosity toward individuals,” he stated.
Trump’s agenda, according to Donalds, centers around the issues that matter most to Americans: securing the southern border, enforcing immigration laws, and revitalizing the economy through pro-growth policies. “His goals are clear: protect the country, secure our borders, bring jobs back to America, and ensure energy independence,” Donalds explained. “This isn’t about attacking political opponents. It’s about putting America first.”
While Trump has previously made statements indicating a desire to hold his political opponents accountable, Donalds assured viewers that these remarks should not be interpreted as a signal for retaliation. “Donald Trump is not interested in creating division or keeping score,” he said, reinforcing that Trump’s focus is on advancing the interests of everyday Americans, not settling old scores.
With Trump’s second term prospects looming, concerns about potential overreach remain, but Donalds made it clear that Trump’s focus will remain on the priorities that matter most to voters: the security, prosperity, and strength of the United States.
