From Kamala Harris to Mark Zuckerberg: As Trump returns to White House, a look at who has he warned to prosecute

President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House as the 47th president of the United States, marking a historic and unprecedented comeback. His victory follows a turbulent chapter in American politics, including his refusal to concede the previous election, the Capitol riot, criminal convictions, and two attempts on his life.

Trump secured the presidency by reaching the required 270 electoral votes after winning Wisconsin, a decisive state in his bid for re-election.

Prior to the election, Trump had repeatedly warned that he would investigate or prosecute political rivals, and left-wing Americans if he becomes president again.

Kamala Harris, the Democratic contender, had cautioned that a Trump victory would result in his pursuit of extensive and unchecked authority.

Who's on Trump's list?

'The enemy from within'

In response to a question about the possibility of Election Day unrest on Fox News last month, Trump identified "the enemy from within" as the primary concern.

"We have some sick people, radical left lunatics, and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military."

During a conversation with podcaster Joe Rogan, Trump again referenced "the enemy from within", saying they posed a greater threat than North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, despite the latter's nuclear capabilities.

Political opponents

Trump has also demanded probes into vice president Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, and Liz Cheney, who is among the prominent Republican figures who have openly opposed Trump.

During a September rally in Pennsylvania, Trump declared that vice president Harris had orchestrated the "biggest crime story of our time", whilst discussing illegal border crossings. "She should be impeached and prosecuted for her actions", Trump said.

On his Truth Social media platform, Trump has circulated posts suggesting military courts should conduct trials for both Cheney and Obama.

Tech industry

Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg faces accusations from Trump regarding alleged electoral interference on digital platforms.

Trump alleged that Meta suppressed content potentially damaging to Biden during the 2020 elections, whilst criticising Zuckerberg's financial contributions towards election infrastructure.

"We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison," Trump said in his recently published Save America coffee table book, as reported in media reviews.

Whilst Zuckerberg remains politically unaffiliated and hasn't publicly addressed Trump's warning, he commented that Trump's response to the July 13 assassination attempt was "one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life."

Additionally, Trump announced intentions to direct the department of justice to investigate Google, claiming the platform "only revealing and displaying bad stories about Donald J Trump," as posted on Truth Social recently.

Protesters

In July this year, amid pro-Palestinian demonstrations at American universities, Trump expressed his views on Fox News, advocating for one-year imprisonment for individuals who disrespect the American flag.

"Now, people will say: 'Oh it's unconstitutional.' Those are stupid people who say that," Trump said, expressing his intention to collaborate with Congress to implement such penalties.

Additionally, Trump declared his plans to prohibit refugee settlement from what he termed "terror-infested" regions, specifically mentioning Gaza. He also indicated his intention to apprehend "pro-Hamas thugs" involved in destructive activities, seemingly targeting university student demonstrators.
