Summary

Donald Trump’s return to the presidency has triggered sweeping purges and retributions against officials he deems disloyal.

He revoked Secret Service protection for former national security figures, fired Department of Justice lawyers investigating him, dismissed 30 inspectors general without notice, and reassigned career officials.

Federal employees face pressure to demonstrate loyalty or face removal.

An executive order mandates reviewing agencies involved in Trump-related investigations, fueling concerns of systemic retaliation.

Insiders describe the atmosphere as “shell-shocked” and worse than expected.

    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.
