Trump Wants Revenge — That’s Why He’s the Man for 2024

Wanting payback and doing the right thing don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
There’s plenty of debate about who the best GOP candidate for 2024 would be and whether Donald Trump should make another bid for the presidency.
But there’s one argument that has not been heavily touched on that would make Trump ideal, should he manage to get back into the White House. It’s the simple fact that he has an ax to grind with the political establishment that betrayed him during his first term — and is willing to go further than other Republicans to break down the corruption in D.C.
If many of President Trump’s supporters believe he didn’t go far enough during his first term, that critique would likely be assuaged in a second term. If the bad personnel choices and attempts to work as a gentleman with swamp creatures was good for anything, it at least served to teach President Trump (and Americans) two things:
First, it revealed who the true patriots in government are (they’re few and far between) and who the traitors are. Second, it taught us that attempting to get along and play nicely with the establishment doesn’t work — the only way forward is to treat them as ruthlessly as they treat honest constitutionalists.
These lessons, of course, were learned the hard way. President Trump was willing to cooperate with the establishment with key Cabinet picks like John Kelly, John Bolton, and Bill Barr. But the constant opposition from his own Cabinet against the platform he ran on was a rude awakening to the 45th president.
Even more of an awakening was the shock that came when many of those in power — ostensibly Trump’s allies — failed to do anything in light of strong evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election. Former Vice President Mike Pence is one of the biggest names who comes to mind, and since 2020 Trump has soured on the man whose name was once beside his own on the presidential ticket.
Of course, by the time of the 2020 controversy, Trump was already learning of the necessity of filling the executive branch not with establishment-friendly picks, but with individuals loyal to his platform and (more importantly) to the Constitution and the country.
Per an Axios report, Trump’s closest advisors already have a plan to gut the bureaucracy by assigning executive branch employees who influence policy to a classification titled “Schedule F,” which would take away legal protections from thousands of government employees and allow for their firing.
The Axios article relates:
After Trump’s Senate acquittal, he gave [former aide John] McEntee an astonishing promotion to run the White House Office of Presidential Personnel. McEntee had no experience running any kind of personnel operation, much less such a significant post in the U.S. government. But Trump did not care.
He gave McEntee his blessing to start ridding the federal government of his enemies and replacing them with Trump people. McEntee was to ignore the “RINOs” who would try to dissuade him. He was to press ahead with urgency and ruthlessness.
… McEntee had the authority to overrule Trump’s own Cabinet secretaries. He was able to hire and fire in many cases without their sign-off — and in at least one instance, without even the Cabinet secretary’s prior knowledge.
In their place, McEntee and his colleagues in the personnel office recruited die-hard Trump supporters from outside Washington to serve in important government positions. Some had barely graduated from college and had few, if any, of the credentials usually expected for such positions.
Should Trump return to the White House for another term, there’s no doubt that this time he will fully clean house and fill the government with officials who have proven themselves to be loyal to the America First movement.
Most Republican administrations have been virtually indistinguishable from those of Democrats, as the Republican presidents who presided over them were either swamp creatures themselves or, like Reagan, had good intentions but thought they could be successful working alongside the establishment
While President Trump made that same calculation once, reports from those in his inner circle suggest he won’t make the same mistake again. In his second stint in the presidency, not only will he appoint people he can truly trust to carry out the America First agenda — but he will not hold back from being as aggressive as he needs to be (regardless of the hysterical cries from the media) to save the Republic.
