Why, that makes him sound like Hitler or something.
What Trump opposes is what damages the country. What damages the country is what Trump promises to target.

As a principle ...
- What’s wrong with weeding out incompetence that damages the purpose of the government, the purpose of government being to implement the constitution.
- After all, that’s part of what an executive does, and the presidency is the executive branch of government.
- Former President Trump mentioned the principle during the debate when he asked Biden if he had ever fired anyone. You would think he would after one of the many debacles orchestrated by their incompetence, incompetence in relation to the benefit of the country and the world.
- With the constitution as the measure, heads certainly should roll for the incompetence … figuratively speaking of course, and with incompetence defined as a result of being measured against the purpose of the government.
- Because incompetence is not punished by the president who rose to power because of the Peter Principle, the executive in charge approves of what’s happening in the days that this was written, an approval likely generated by the corrupted liberal sympathy for other Peters who have arisen.
- For example, those many folks unconstitutionally (as recently ruled by the SCOTUS) punished out of retribution for what happened on January 6 because Nancy Pelosi neglected her responsibility of crowd control, which she purposely did probably because of the Defund the Police sentiment being pushed by Democrats at that time with their mission of fundamental change, should receive some retribution in the form of head-rolling, figuratively speaking of course, and for the sake of the country not just for the sake of clearing the good name of an individual who they tried to destroy … and not just for the sake of an old-fashioned
bloodbath.

Trump’s Latest Campaign Pledge: Revenge

Trump’s Latest Campaign Pledge: Revenge
Former President Donald Trump is dialing up the retribution rhetoric in the wake of his criminal conviction, remarking for the third time in as many days that he has every right to go after his political opponents.
“Revenge does take time, I will say that,” Trump said during an interview Thursday with Phil McGraw, the TV personality known as “Dr. Phil.”
“And sometimes revenge can be justified, Phil. I have to be honest. Sometimes it can.”
His remarks are just the latest in which Trump suggested that he’d seek retribution from his political enemies if elected president in November. And they come as one of his closest allies, former White House chief strategist Steven Bannon, is ordered to report to prison by July 1.
Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress in 2022 for failing to provide documents related to the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He was sentenced to four months in prison.
When asked during a Fox News interview on Wednesday if he plans to use the justice system to punish his political opponents, Trump said: "When this election is over, based on what they've done, I would have every right to go after them.”
EXPLAINER: Trump's Legal Woes, Explained
It was the most direct statement Trump has made about his plans since he first floated the idea after a jury found him guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush-money payment central to a “catch-and-kill” scheme carried out during his 2016 presidential campaign in a bid to influence the election.
Trump, who denies any wrongdoing even after being convicted, has made his legal affairs central to his reelection campaign – claiming that they amount to political persecution by President Joe Biden, his Democratic allies and a justice system overrun with corrupt left-wing judges and prosecutors.
For months now, Trump has vowed to rebuild the Justice Department top to bottom with a cabal of his allies and has suggested that he would install a special prosecutor to investigate Biden and his family.
“By weaponizing the DOJ against his Political Opponent, ME, Joe has opened a giant Pandora's Box,” Trump said in a social media post in January.
The overtures have grown more frequent and specific in the aftermath of his guilty verdict, with the former president now repeatedly referring to himself as a “political prisoner.”
Earlier this week, on Tuesday, Trump said in an interview with conservative Newsmax that "it's a terrible, terrible path that they're leading us to, and it's very possible that it's going to have to happen to them.”
Notably, the idea of political retribution sits at the heart of the presidential immunity case before the Supreme Court, which, among other things, wrestles with the idea of whether a president can be prosecuted for actions taken, publicly or privately, while they are command in chief.
The case is specifically related to the four-count criminal indictment of Trump, which accuses the presumed Republican presidential nominee of attempting to overturn the results of his 2020 election loss and undermine America’s democracy. The justices are set to decide the case in the coming weeks.
K: again, how about them apples?
