MAGA supporters are in a frenzy after Donald Trump officially became a convicted felon, and they’re promising revenge.
On Friday, Trump was sentenced after being found guilty of trying to cover up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who says they had an affair—something Trump denies. Despite the conviction, Judge Juan Merchan gave him an unconditional discharge, meaning Trump walked away without fines, probation, or jail time.
But the ruling didn’t stop Trump or his allies from turning the moment into a rallying cry. MAGA faithful are now claiming it’s their turn to go on the “hunt” for Democrats.
Moments after the Zoom sentencing ended, Trump took to Truth Social for one of his trademark tirades. “The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt,” he fumed.
The president-elect, set to return to the White House on Jan. 20, didn’t hold back, calling the trial a “despicable charade.” He vowed to appeal the decision and promised to restore trust in the justice system. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he wrote, adding a not-so-subtle hint at payback.
Trump’s loyalists wasted no time amplifying the message. Right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk fired off a post on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “The people who went after Trump should be investigated and charged. All of them. Justice is coming.”
Mike Davis, one of Trump’s legal advisers, went even further during an appearance on a far-right livestream. “Right now, the Democrats think they’re the hunters,” Davis declared. “But guess what? On Jan. 20, at noon, they’re going to become the hunted. And I’m going to make damn sure of that.”
Prominent Trump supporters are pointing fingers at Judge Merchan and Democratic leaders like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, never one to shy away from controversy, accused the judge of “criminal abuse of power” and claimed the case was a deliberate attack on Trump.
“Judge Merchan and the Democrats didn’t perceive terrorists, cartels, and everyday street criminals as threats to democracy,” she wrote on X.
Rep. Nancy Mace, another Trump ally, echoed the outrage. “This is so corrupt,” she said. “They’re only doing this today, 10 days before his swearing-in, so the Left and the lamestream media can call him a convicted felon for the next four years.”
Adding her own flair, Mace declared, “I’m with the convicted felon. #MAGA.”
The outrage extends beyond Congress. Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, who owes much of his recent election win to Trump’s support, blasted the trial as a “SHAM.” Meanwhile, Rep. Ronnie Jackson assured MAGA fans that Trump’s conviction was only a temporary setback.
“Trump will win in the end and America wins in 10 days when we get Trump back!!” Jackson wrote.

Judge Merchan engaged in criminal abuse of power to attack the Democrat’s top political opponent, Donald Trump.
Shamefully, Judge Merchan and the Democrats didn’t perceive terrorists, cartels, and everyday street criminals as threats to democracy.
