Trump is fulfilling his pledged vengeance, acting accordingly

In recent developments, President Donald Trump has taken a series of actions that have raised eyebrows in political circles. Here's a look at some of the key events:

Trump has directed prosecutors to investigate several individuals, including Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs. The former national security advisor John Bolton is also under investigation, with the FBI searching his home as part of an inquiry into the mishandling of classified information. Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is also under investigation.

Trump's actions appear to be a response to perceived criticism, with a number of Democrats, including Letitia James, Adam Schiff, LaMonica McIver, Ras Baraka, and Joe Biden, among others, being targeted. The president has even gone as far as to issue orders barring several law firms from doing business with the federal government if they were involved in litigation against him or his allies.

In a move that has sparked controversy, Trump has pardoned more than 1,500 people who were convicted of crimes during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot and insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He has also deployed the military into American cities, including Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, to fight crime and help with immigration arrests. Trump has announced that Chicago could be the next city subject to military deployments.

The administration has not shied away from internal investigations either. The security clearances of about three dozen current and former national security officials have been revoked. Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has fired several military leaders perceived to be critics of the president or not sufficiently loyal.

Trump's team has opened investigations against Letitia James, Adam Schiff, and LaMonica McIver. The government's watchdog agency has opened an investigation into Jack Smith, the special counsel who investigated Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and the classified documents stashed at his Florida estate.

Trump claims authority over all prosecutions, stating "I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer." However, it is unclear whether he was informed about the Bolton search ahead of time. His team has denied any involvement in the search.

In a further twist, Trump's administration has filed a judicial misconduct complaint against a judge who ruled against Trump officials. This move has raised concerns about the independence of the judiciary.

Trump's actions have sparked a heated debate about the use of government powers for revenge against political opponents. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these developments will shape the political landscape in the United States.
