Steve, I have no likes and dislikes for Mr Trump or his predecessors. I simply observe from above and reason and report what to me seems a logical interpretation.
But, to tell you the truth, the continuous, unflinching, undeterred criticism you are showing to Mr. Trump, is surprising to say the least. He's not the most perfect of souls, everyone agrees on that, but he's not worse off than most of his predecessors.
Entitlement: Joe Biden believed he was entitled to presidency even if he was clearly in a state of mental degeneration. Do you call it a small ego?
Mr. Biden put his German sheperd dog above the men of his security detail. he felt entitled to it. It is much different to the entitlement Mr. Trump feels in your words?
Retribution? Let's wait and see. His opponents have given him hell, so some retribution would probably be in the realm of fairness.
Unless he will become very generous, it's a possibility. His ego may be please to exhibit exceptional generosity, and he will sure underline it if so. So far, I heard no news of retribution.
People reason from their own mindsets. You are entitled to have your own views, no one has ever taken that freedom away from you here. On the contrary we have people in power today who feel they have the privilege of taking that liberty away from others.
So far the only generosity that Donald has shown is to his rich friends with huge tax breaks and to his coconspirators to usurp and overthrow the public will in an election.
Retribution;
Trump administration swiftly enacts retribution against political enemies
A question that loomed over Trump’s 2024 campaign was whether he’d use presidential powers for retribution against his perceived political foes. For some, the answer has arrived.
“There are plenty of early warning signs that confirm the worst fears of people who were concerned about a second Trump administration and what it would mean for the rule of law,” David Laufman, a former senior Justice Department official under Republican and Democratic administrations, said in an interview. “The real question remains what checks and balances will there be to prevent the creeping establishment of an authoritarian state in the United States.”
