‘Joe, be very careful what you wish for!’ Trump tells raucous Wall Street crowd that ‘Biden indictments’ against him opened ‘Pandora’s box’ – and that it will be a two-way street if he wins back the White House
Former President Donald Trump told partygoers at a New York Young Republican Club event that the charges against him “opened Pandora's box” and that Joe Biden should be “very careful what you wish for.”
Speaking at Saturday night's event, Trump told a crowd chanting his name that Biden “has opened a Pandora's box that will never allow our country to be the same.”
“All I can say to Joe is be very careful what you wish for, but you did a terrible thing,” former President Trump said in his speech.
The event was hosted at Cipriani's flagship location on Wall Street in New York City, where approximately a thousand guests gathered, including notable Republicans Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz.
“I'm being sued for you. These are not charges in the traditional sense of the word. These are Biden charges against their political opponent,” Trump said at the event.

Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, promised to win the White House in the 2024 presidential election. He even said he would win Democrat New York.
“We're going to take New York,” Trump told a rapturous audience.
“I believe we have a great opportunity… With hundreds of thousands of people living on the sidewalks and streets and illegal aliens and a state like no one thought possible.”
Trump also attacked his rivals, mocking Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as “DeSanctimonious” and his former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley as “birdbrain,” the post reported.
Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Col.) and Andrew Giuliani were featured during a VIP cocktail hour before the main event.
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon also bought his own table for the event, where individual tickets cost about $700 per person.
