The enemies list gets a little longer.

Trump’s campaign of retribution:​

Reuters documented at least 470 targets of retribution under Trump’s leadership – from federal employees and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. The list illuminates the sweeping effort by the president and his administration to punish dissent and reshape the government.

Busy, busy, boy.
Democrats all over the country down to state and local levels were very busy in their lawfare against Trump. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. You opened the can of worms. Now you have to live with that.

You keep reflexively repeating that line like a operantly conditioned rat. It has no basis in truth.

In his second term, Donald Trump has turned a campaign pledge to punish political opponents into a guiding principle of governance.

What began as a provocative rallying cry in March 2023 – “I am your retribution” – has hardened into a sweeping campaign of retaliation against perceived enemies, reshaping federal policy, staffing and law enforcement.

A tally by Reuters reveals the scale: At least 470 people, organizations and institutions have been targeted for retribution since Trump took office – an average of more than one a day. Some were singled out for punishment; others swept up in broader purges of perceived enemies. The count excludes foreign individuals, institutions and governments, as well as federal employees dismissed as part of force reductions.

The Trump vengeance campaign fuses personal vendettas with a drive for cultural and political dominance, Reuters found. His administration has wielded executive power to punish perceived foes – firing prosecutors who investigated his bid to overturn the 2020 election, ordering punishments of media organizations seen as hostile, penalizing law firms tied to opponents, and sidelining civil servants who question his policies. Many of those actions face legal challenges.

It is the truth. It is YOU who have no basis in truth.

Justice Dept. Official Pushes Prosecutors to Investigate George Soros’s Foundation​

A senior Justice Department official has instructed more than a half dozen U.S. attorneys’ offices to draft plans to investigate a group funded by George Soros, the billionaire Democratic donor who President Trump has demanded be thrown in jail.

The official’s directive, a copy of which was viewed by The New York Times, goes as far as to list possible charges prosecutors could file, ranging from arson to material support of terrorism. The memo suggests department leaders are following orders from the president that specific people or groups be subject to criminal investigation — a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference.

The move is the latest instance of the Justice Department moving against Mr. Trump’s perceived enemies.

Over the weekend, the president urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to act quickly in seeking criminal charges against his longtime nemesis, the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, and the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who has sued Mr. Trump and his businesses for hundreds of millions of dollars. Separate investigations into them are being conducted by federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia, and grand juries may soon be asked to vote on proposed indictments in those cases.


It's almost as though trump imagines himself speaking at one of his rallies, playing to the audience for an applause line by mentioning yet another target in order to elicit a cheer. He's ginned up a lot of hatred over the years for Comey, James, Schiff, Soros, Smith, Bragg, Merchan, Pelosi, it's a very long list. Now he's in a position to act on his animus...........in unprecedented fashion for America........but not in countries lead by leaders he admires. Russia, Hungary, Turkey come to mind.

It will no doubt excite the trump devotees on the board when they should be horrified at the drip, drip, drip of autocratic style governance.
Hey ... don't criticize George Soros. There are folks on this site who will surely take offense and call you "antisemitic."

"Born in Budapest to a non-observant Jewish family ..."
