Trump’s Revenge: Officials Shocked by Severity of Expected Actions
Upon returning to the White House, President Trump initiated a widespread purge of perceived enemies within the federal government. High-profile figures and anonymous civil servants alike have faced firing, reassignment, or other forms of retribution, leaving many “shell-shocked.” This revenge campaign targets those who investigated Trump, opposed his policies, or publicly criticized him, including the dismissal of numerous inspectors general and the targeting of career officials at the Department of Justice. The administration’s actions, including an executive order labeled a “roadmap for retribution,” signal a continued and potentially escalating campaign of vengeance.
