Trump's vendetta agenda shows an undimmed lust for retribution

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : Trump wants both.
55% : That took place exactly 30 years before Trump visited the city.
50% : On the second day of his presidency, Trump announced on his platform, Truth Social, that he was "actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand presidential appointees from the previous administration", in what - in effect - is a mass purge.
50% : But over the decade of watching Trump more closely than I have any other politician in my life, it is obvious that he has a highly - overly - developed persecution complex.
48% : On the first day of his presidency, Trump revoked the security clearance of 51 national security officials who had opined that the story of Hunter Biden's laptop had been a classic Russian misinformation campaign.
41% : Donald Trump that night was also in an incendiary mood.
41% : Forget revenge being a dish best-served cold, Trump is serving it up piping hot - and lashings of it.
41% : But Donald Trump had other ideas.
40% : In one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump has removed the bodyguards protecting Bolton.
32% : Now free from prison, having been pardoned by Trump, the paramilitary leaders who orchestrated the attempted insurrection have expressed their desire for vengeance on the people who put them behind bars.
21% : Trump in return had threatened to prosecute Milley for treason.
21% : Another critic of the incoming president - who, like Milley, had served alongside Donald Trump in his first term - was John Bolton.
17% : It was March 2023, and Donald Trump was in Waco, Texas - a town forever associated with the massacre and inferno that engulfed the Branch Davidian sect, resulting in 76 deaths after a lengthy stand-off with law enforcement officials.
12% : And in an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Trump mused that Biden didn't pardon himself, so maybe some of the torture that he's suffered should be meted out to the outgoing president.
11% : Right now, you really don't want to be on the wrong side of Donald Trump.
