The article discusses Donald Trump’s return to the presidency and his obsession with retribution, likening his actions to the mob boss Michael Corleone from The Godfather. Upon resuming office, Trump has targeted perceived enemies, including former officials who criticized him and intelligence analysts who challenged his narratives, actively dismantling security clearances and instigating investigations against them. This reflects his long-standing vendetta against figures like Barack Obama, Jim Comey, and Adam Schiff, showing a pattern of using governmental power for personal revenge.
Trump’s approach is characterized by aggressive retaliation and disregard for institutional norms. For instance, he has dismissed employees from intelligence and law enforcement who crossed him, including those who opposed his policies. His mindset of “getting even” permeates not only his actions but also his rhetoric, which has inspired his supporters. Trump’s national director of intelligence, Kash Patel, even created a list of individuals he deemed part of the "Deep State," furthering this culture of targeting adversaries.
Despite his claims of focusing on success, Trump’s pattern of vengeful behavior raises concerns about the implications for governance and democracy. The author posits that Trump’s use of federal authority to settle scores threatens the integrity of institutions, suggesting that his retribution campaign is just beginning and may escalate as he consolidates power.
