A very angry Donald Trump has vowed to target sitting president Joe Biden on Monday as he boarded a private jet to Miami where he is set to face his second criminal indictment this year.
In a rant on his platform, Truth Social, an aggrieved Trump who faces multiple criminal indictments, said he planned to use the power of the federal government, should he be elected to the presidency in 2024, to personally target Mr Biden’s family.

“I WILL APPOINT A REAL SPECIAL “PROSECUTOR” TO GO AFTER THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA, JOE BIDEN, THE ENTIRE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY, & ALL OTHERS INVOLVED WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ELECTIONS, BORDERS, & COUNTRY ITSELF!” Trump said.
Trump’s lofty aspirations for another crack at the White House are real, but the chances of his political ambitions materialising face enormous challenges with the number of legal woes he must effectively overcome before an attempt to sway an electorate that voted him out only a few years ago.
He remains a front runner for the democratic party, but has the herculean task of swaying an increasing sceptical public, assuming he is able to miraculously sweep aside the several indictments against him.

Trump’s rant reflects his strong animosity against Biden, whom he holds responsible for the indictments against him, and has long accused of rigging the U.S 2020 elections.
He has accused President Joe Biden’s family members of similar corrupt dealings as his own family.
The Justice Department is investigating Mr Biden’s son Hunter for a number of tax law violations, as well as for potentially having made a false statement while in the process of purchasing a firearm, but not of any of the criminal allegations alleged by Trump.
However, with 37 criminal counts related to his handling of presidential records following his departure from the White House in January 2021., and a separate 34 counts brought by prosecutors in New York relating to a hush money scheme set up during his 2016 campaign for president to shut up Stormy Daniels, he will be a miracle man to regain the office he lost in shame.
Trump has disputed the findings of both investigations and declared his innocence; meanwhile, the Department of Justice’s indictment last week coincided with the release of several images purporting to show presidential records including potentially classified materials stored in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.
Last month, a civil jury found Trump sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll in the 1990s and awarded the former Elle magazine advice columnist $5m (£4m) in damages
The former president has strenuously declared his innocence of all the various charges against him, and claims there is greater campaign by US law enforcement agencies to stop him from becoming president once again.
