Trump’s revenge agenda has shocked officials who ‘didn’t think it was going to be this bad’, insiders say

Really? Because this is the bare minimum I expected. Anyone involved in investigating, prosecuting, or suing Trump for anything, anyone involved in prosecuting fake electors. And while he can't directly attack state officials, I expect him to open investigations on all of the Democrats involved in resisting him in any way.

Those are my baseline assumptions. But to be honest with you, Trump has never ever failed to be worse than I could imagine, so I expect it will likely go well beyond that, even.

I’m genuinely flabbergasted at how many people are clearly surprised by what he’s doing and how he’s doing it. He did it the first time, only he and his buddies had no idea how anything worked. This time they got a bunch of interns to do their homework for them, so they’re obviously going to have more success in their efforts this time around.

Also, anyone with even a half dozen brain cells should be able to understand he’s a vindictive shitass malignant narcissist. You are simply not allowed to be surprised by that. It’s literally a core part of what his first term entailed.

Sane people and his voter base (because they openly support it) all knew it was going to be this bad, and the dude said early as much. The lack on intelligence in US politics just continues to boggle the mind on an almost daily basis.

Not sure why they're surprised when he literally said he would do all of this.

This is the petty and sad man that ran to get revenge on Obama.

This is the petty and sad man that had a vendetta with Rosie O'Donnell for how many years now?

This is the petty and sad man that is STILL upset for how SPY magazine made fun of him....

If anyone is surprised that this asshat is a vengeful asshole, I just don't even know what to say. There is evidence going back decades of just what a completely self-absorbed asshole he is, and with the very thinnest of skins.

People living with blinders on, and spoilers: it's gonna get worse.

When the purges of the federal government are sufficiently completed, who's going to stop them? It might have to be you.

Stupid people are in fact stupid

I just watched another episode of the Tor's Cabinet of Curiosities on YT, that one about the sixth Dalai Lama who ignored divine instructions and enjoyed the life as it is. And many commenters and the host guessed if is that system was even prepared to a Dalai Lama who wants to drink, fuck and write poetry. Every one of them just assumed that a living avatar of a deity can't do that, and that's what he did. And that's funny in a bleak, grim fashion, that no one put full stop signs to what a president can do, assuming he'd have that stops himself, and as it shows no one can even say no to him when he breaches every tradition to name and many who could stop him just let it slide.

People with heads up asses shocked that assholes smell pretty bad.

It's very clear by all the books on Trumps first term that the worse of Trumps craziness was stopped by his adhoc cabinet filled neocon worms and lickspittles that juggled their own intressets and derailing the dumbest shit. Now when he only has sycophants and fascists and nothing good is coming out of it.

well they didn't think hard enough then

Wow, and here I am thinking it wasn’t too bad on day one given he said dictator on day one.

President Musk did LARP as a certain dictator on day one so maybe that’s what he meant.

Nothing to see here, folks. He's just filling spots with yes men.

I'm pretty sure all these "officials" are fucking idiots too.

The more time he commits to his tabloid pleasing rage induced revenge the less time he has to fuck up other things
