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.
He’ll be replaced by JD Vance who will pick up the stupid, stupid dance right where Trump left off.
And Vance is 40. You’re going to be eating applesauce out of a straw before you see natural causes catch up with him.
If I promise to start the apple sauce-straw thing now, can we skip all the intervening stuff?
