I think it's time we acknowledge something on this show.

A growing consensus about the Trump administration.

Call the way Donald Trump fashions himself, whatever you want,

would be dictator, an autocrat.

But an essential ingredient of what he's doing in Washington is straight up revenge.

This shouldn't really be a surprise. Trump openly mused about revenge while he campaigned for a second

term in office. Shane Harris from over at the Atlantic, he remembers it.

Oh, Donald Trump talked a lot about revenge in the 2024 campaign.

I mean, it was, I think, the words that he will use sometimes in his speech where,

I am your vengeance, I am your retribution.

How's that whole revenge plan working out for him?

It seems like it's going swimmingly.

Who Donald Trump wants revenge on is a broad category.

But for Shane, the most obvious targets are people who worked in government, sometimes for the president himself, and dared to speak out against him.
