(The Center Square) – Former President Donald Trump said his Mar-A-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, was “under siege” and raided by FBI agents on Monday.
Trump made the comments in a post on his social media platform Truth.
“Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before,” Trump wrote, adding “These are dark times for our Nation …”
Various media outlets cited anonymous sources who stated the raid was part of an investigation into the handling of presidential documents that were classified and may have been at Trump’s Florida home.
Trump, who was in New York at the time of the raid, said it was done by a large group of FBI agents and was unannounced.
“It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024 …” Trump wrote.
Trump said the FBI agents broke into his safe.
“What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democratic National Committee?” Trump asked.
The former president added that America has become a “broken, Third-World” country that was “corrupt at a level not seen before.”
The Justice Department and White House declined comment to various media outlets.
Below you find reaction to this unprecedented event:
The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.

The FBI isn’t doing anything about the groups vandalizing Catholic Churches, firebombing Pro-Life groups or threatening Supreme Court justices
But they find time to raid Mar A Lago

If the FBI can raid the home of a former US President, imagine what 87,000 more IRS agents will do to you.

The FBI raid on President Trump’s home is an unprecedented political weaponization of the Justice Department. They’ve been after President Trump as a candidate, as President, and now as a former President. Using the criminal justice system in this manner is un-American.

What does the FBI know about Hunter Biden?

What happens when you try to fix a corrupt Gov? Rediculousness happens!
The fools keep breaking THE PEOPLE protective government precedents to seize all the power they can while they hold all three brances of government knowing the Conservatives they attack are innocent. What they refuse to understand is that when the worm turns, and WE take all three branches of government they have reset the very precedents that will lead to their own destruction, because unlike the innocent who they tried to railroad, they the guilty who have tied themselves to the tracks of the oncoming trains will get run over, and over and over. Just how did the precedent they changed concerning approval Supreme Court Justices work out for them? BIt them right in the butt. When Joe, Hillary and Obama’s homes get raided, the guilty will fall like leaves in autumn.
MORE and more, i am seeing that there is NO HOPE for the entire dept of just us. THE WHOLE Bloody thing needs to be scorched to the ground.. PERIOD!
The democrat, Socialist, Party of America would like everybody to forget such things as Hillary still using Clinton’s Private Computer and Barack H, Obama While President, talked with Hillary Clinton on her personal Computer While She Was Secretary of State. OR wanting everybody to forget about Hunter Biden’s Lap-Top and his ties with China and influence pedaling while Joe Biden was in Government. The democrat elite would like everybody to be distracted by ” FBI raid of Mar-A-Lago.” In other words, the democrats are saying, never mind what we have done In the Past,
” Do as we say, not as we do. ” Author of quote, unknown
AND that not one charge was ever brought against Hillary< FOR WILLFULLY PUBLICLY admitting she destroyed evidence…
I can only hope that President Trump runs in 2024 and wins (again). Regardless, I hope that the next President guts the corrupt FBI and rebuilds it as a law abiding and enforcing organization. If you think about it, it never has been. JEH was about as crooked as they come. I believe there was an attempt to make the FBI a legitimate LE organization after JEH passed, but I do not believe it has ever come close to being law abiding. There has always been the feeling of being above the Constitutional law.
THE GOP needs to start by DEFUNDING THEM.. Better yet, pass a bill, (IF they get control over both the house and senate)< THAT ELIMINATES THE FBI AND DOJ!
if indicted he can not run..
and with all the new irs aka stazi agents the mao biden regime has hired it will not be long
before they will be breaking down your door.
Exactly. THE LEFT IS WEAPONIZING every agency they can, to ATTACK their enemies.. IE WE Conservatives.
Unless WE the People do not destroy this treasonous, destructive, socialist Democrat Party. it will destroy our country.
The reign of the Socialist Democrat Party State Dictatorship is just getting started.
The “Socialist Democrat Party State” political officers (FBI), Gestapo, Woke and Cancel Culture are just getting started.
You will obey, be loyal and support the policies of the “Socialist Democrat Party State” or you will be classified as “Enemies of the State” and “Domestic Terrorists”.
Nancy Pelosi admitted an unfortunate truth about her
orchestrate and fabricated President Trump’s impeachment “farce”
– It hinges on witness’s “allegations” not “proof”.
It’s Not A Question” Of “Proof”, It’s About “Allegations”

24 Aug. 2020 – Monday on MSNBC’s “Live,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
referred to President Donald Trump and his Republican supporters as
“domestic enemies” and “enemies of the State”.
When Hillary Clinton was running for the Democrat Party’s presidential candidate she said “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.”
“It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024 …” Trump wrote.
Damned right!!!!! This whole administration is rife with misconduct from top to bottom. If Trump has any legal recourse, I hope he can destroy every single person involved in this charade. In any event, i hope they all pay and pay dearly.
“The Justice Department and White House declined comment to various media outlets.” Of course not—they have no legitimate grounds on which to defend their actions. They can mouth off long and loud when they think they have the upper hand, but when they come face-to-face with truth, they become verbally paralyzed.
The corrupt, treasonous Democrat elite and the Democrat Party never take responsibility or are held accountable for their own treasonous, unlawful, destructive, dishonorable, immoral actions and agendas. Democrats always blame someone or something else for their own actions and policies. Even if the Democrats are caught “red handed”.
This treasonous, dishonest, destructive, immoral, demonic, socialist Democrat Party revolves around and its philosophy is based on Total Control, Hate, Lies, Cons, Deceptions, Immorality and the lack of Integrity, Ethics or Honor.
Why Didn’t the DOJ go after Hunter Biden and his Lap-Top or Hillary Clinton and her use of a private Computer While Secretary of State Under Barack H. Obama or Bill Clinton and His Papers after he was President.?
BECAUSE THE LEFT OWNS the bloody Dept of Just US!
This is another nail in the Demonrats coffin!! They will have their ***** handed to them in November and again in 2024!!!
WITH their fraud machine out there, NEVER EVER take it for granted, that we may win..
I hope you’re right, but the way things are going I’d say this looks more like this country is headed for a split and another shooting civil war.
Wilddog. THAT is
A) Why the left is so hell bend on disarming WE conservatives
and B) HAS BEEN ARMING UP and ammoing up damn near every 3 lettered federal agency.
The dems must be really terrified Trump is going to run again. This is just beyond comprehension. I never thought I would be fearful of our own justice system. I don’t want to see the democratic party ever leading this country again.
The FBI breaks into President Trump’s safe and lo and behold find absolutely nothing pertinent to their witch hunt. What a shocker!
YET Even with video after video of HUNTERS CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES< still have done NOTHING what so bloody ever to him!
Are the left wingers that afraid of Trump that they will do anything, legal or otherwise, to try and bring him down?
Yes.
TDS at its highest…
WAKE UP AMERICA – THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WITH A DICTATORSHIP AND IT IS COMING WITH THE COMMIE DEMS. THIS IS DESPICIBLE AND FRIGHTEINING – WROTE TO MY INEPT SENATOR THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IN MY CITIZENSHIP BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH WIMPS IN CONGRESS -STANDING FOR NOTHING AND FIGHTING FOR NOTHING
In the words of General Buck Turgidson (of Dr. Strangelove), “We are rapidly approaching a moment of truth both for ourselves as human beings and for the life of our nation”. Except this is not dark comedy. It is dead serious. If we don’t completely defeat these progressive socialists in the next two elections we will be too far down the toilet to be resuscitated. This **** is the culmination of 50 years of democrat brainwashing, bribing and bullying the American public to act against its own interests. The notion that as corrupt and senile a man as Joe Biden could be elected as President of the United States is proof that we are on the edge of national suicide. People with brains better start paying attention.
