Donald Trump, true to his campaign promise, is using the powers of his presidency to retaliate against those he deems his enemies. This includes launching investigations into numerous critics and opponents, such as his former national security advisor John Bolton (whose home was recently searched by the FBI), New York Attorney General Letitia James, Senator Adam Schiff, and others. The administration has also charged political opponents and deployed the military into American cities for crime-fighting and immigration enforcement. Trump has justified these actions by claiming to be "restoring law and order," while Democrats and others express alarm, fearing an unprecedented consolidation of power and intimidation of political opponents. The article highlights several instances of this retribution, including pardons for those involved in the January 6th Capitol attack, investigations into the origins of the Russia investigation, and targeting of institutions and individuals who have defied him. The actions have led to concerns about the weaponization of the government against political opponents and raise questions about the limits of presidential power.
