In his vendetta against law firms who represented his opponents, universities whose high standards offend him, and anyone who dared to stand up to his lies, Trump has selected two former government employees for retribution. These actions are typical of dictators. Trump is wannabe dictator. He certainly aspires to be a full-fledged fascist. He has a compliant Departnent of Justice. Attorney General Pam Bondi thinks she works for Trump, not the people of the United States.

He writes:
President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive ordering the Justice Department to investigate two prominent former senior Homeland Security officials, saying they could be guilty of “treason” because of their criticism of him.
Trump also stripped Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs of their security clearances, although it was not clear if they maintained any. The order “also suspends any active security clearance held by individuals at entities associated with Taylor, including the University of Pennsylvania,” where Taylor is an adjunct professor, “pending a review of whether such clearances are consistent with the national interest.”
Likewise, the order also suspends security clearances held by associates of Krebs at SentinelOne, a California-based cyber security firm, where he is currently employed as the company’s chief intelligence and public policy officer.
Taylor, who served as the chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly during the first Trump administration, drew Trump’s wrath for writing a blistering, New York Times Op-ed, titled, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration“, and later a book, A Warning, both under the pen name “Anonymous,” detailing his concerns about the president’s policies. The Op-ed unleashed a furious media campaign to identify him. After he surfaced in October 2020, he became a prominent TV critic of Trump
“You can’t have that happen,” Trump said as he signed the executive order, adding, “I think he’s guilty of treason if you want to know the truth, but we’ll find out.”
The executive order called Taylor “a bad-faith actor who weaponized and abused his government position, prioritizing his own ambition, personal notoriety, and monetary gain over fidelity to his constitutional oath.”
Taylor responded on X (formerly Twitter): “I said this would happen. Dissent isn’t unlawful. It certainly isn’t treasonous. America is headed down a dark path. Never has a man so inelegantly proved another man’s point.”…
It’s almost funny to see Trump criticize anyone for failure to be faithful to their “constitutional oath,” since he has violated his own constitutional oath on a daily basis.

Trump, with his ultimate power of presidency, is now, going AFTER all who had been, against him, anyone who’s “injured” him needs to watch her/his backs, because, Trump is going after every one of them next. Trump is using the government to take out all his enemies, those who don’t agree with him, and the American people still, voted him into, office.

No, the American people didn’t vote him into office. A small portion of the eligible voters did. . . . He won due to the archaic electoral college system.

if he goes after these guys, we should hit the streets harder than last weekend to defend them.

Trump is a petty vindictive tyrant that uses the sycophants around him as his own personal hit squad. His enablers including those in congress ignore his corruption as well as his flagrant violation of The Constitution and the rule of law. His priorities are wealth and power, not the people of America.

This is the latest example of Trumpjection. Already psychology identifies a tendency of some people to project their difficulties on others, and has termed this tendency projection. But a new and almost indescribable tendency has emerged with the MAGA movement that takes this to a level previously unimaginable. We should call this Trumpjection

That makes a lot of us future traitors, like me, who have publicly criticized the convicted rapist, fraud and felon repeatedly almost daily online for more than eight years.
Another one of the sadistic sociopaths goals is to do away with birthright citizenship.
It doesn’t’ take much to figure out that his next step will be to strip anyone who he decides is a traitor of their citizenship and send them to that Brutal Salvadoran prison, where what happens to those former US citizens will be out of site and soon forgotten.
USA Today quoted him saying, “I love that!” referring to sending American prisoners to that prison.

Well, “treason” is defined in the Constitution.
Of course, that’s irrelevant here, because Trump never has, and never will, read the Constitution.
