BREAKING: Trump tells America 'Our ultimate retribution is success'

GOP frontrunner former President Donald Trump told Americans "our ultimate retribution is success." He made the comments during an Iowa townhall with Bret Baier and Martha Maccallum on Fox News in the lead-up to the Iowa caucus.

I will fire the unelected bureaucrats and shadow forces who have weaponized our justice system like it has never been weaponized before sick. These are sick people. And I will put the people back in charge of this country again the people will be back in charge of our country. stration is the
