WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday said he would target former President Joe Biden's circle, calling them "evil people."

"There were some brilliant people," Trump said, referring to Biden's allies in his White House. "But they’re evil people, and they’re going to be brought down. They have to be brought down 'cause they really hurt our country."

Trump's threat to have his political opponent's allies "brought down" marks his latest move to potentially target political adversaries in a pattern that has alarmed critics who paint the president as pursuing retribution and say he is weaponizing the Justice Department — a claim the president has made about the Biden administration.

NBC News reached out to Biden's office for comment.

…or what?

[FakeNoose]

12. He's talking and acting like a mob boss

[NJCher]

30. Winner?

He’s in the “bargaining” stages with Dog over his mortality (Kubler-Ross) and he wants to throw in an addendum to bring along Biden’s associates?

Ermm, I don’t think they will be buying that at the Pearly Gates.

Better get back to Plan B and see if Little Marco can strike a deal with Putin.

2. Trump acts like someone with brain lesions, wonder if he's had west nile?

[popsdenver]

14. More likely

Tertiary syphillis...........the spirochetes end up in the brain, and start munching away......even if treated, the damage is done........

[displacedvermoter]

28. Many people say he has syphilis

and I tell everybody I know he is syphilitic. It explains a lot, and I don't care if it is true or not, because I believe it and many people say it is true!

[underpants]

3. Bolton was just a message.

[Lovie777]

4. Please make it stop..................

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Like someone around here said 8 yrs ago, 7 yrs ago, 6 yrs ago, last week etc. Oh yeah, that was me

EVERYTHING

they will take EVERYTHING

including Medicare and SS.

[sop]

6. How can NBC write a story about this without once mentioning that Trump is completely insane?

[PSPS]

10. Because they don't want to trigger the king's wrath. Too costly.

[Bengus81]

13. No doubt told IF they toe the line they will not be taken over like Hitler did

with "media" when he became Fuhrer. That makes this fascist regime still look normal.

[popsdenver]

15. LOL as soon as they have the Fascist Tyranny

in the bag, they will take over FOX News, and get rid of all the other media in the U.S.

It will become the newly branded "State Owned Media" no different than PRAVDA in Russia.......

When the Republicans are done, the Constitution will be vaporized, and for starters: No first amendment....Freedom of the press, etc

Just look at all the parts of the Constitution they are stripping away already.........

[iemanja]

24. Don't you think it's obvious from the content?

[sop]

25. I saw no mention of Trump's obvious mental problems in the report, but this was the last paragraph:

"Meanwhile, Trump's allies in Congress have pushed to hear testimony from Biden's circle about his mental acuity while in office, which Trump and Republicans claim was in decline but was covered up by the former president's team. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has sought testimony from Biden's former White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor and former White House aides, including his domestic policy adviser, Neera Tanden and his deputy chief of staff, Annie Tomasini."

[Bayard]

7. They're evil people

He's talking about his own admin.

When do the public executions start?

[DavidDvorkin]

9. Fear not!

The Republican Party, the party of Lincoln, the Grand Old Party of freedom and liberty will save us!

Unless they follow him mindlessly because they're actually the party of fascism and power no matter what.

One of those two things.

[popsdenver]

16. The United States of America will be renamed:

The Corporate Fascist States of America.........

[Martin68]

17. This will be Trump's downfall: his obsession with imaginary slights in the past and a total inability to focus.

He probably thinks Biden is still president and he's still fighting the results of his lost election.

[popsdenver]

18. The Trump/Republican MAGA voters

are truly 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Graders.......in the fourth grade, you see students starting to question things presented to them.......

[Martin68]

19. Living in the past. Not a good sign.

[Botany]

20. Just like Hillary Vice President Harris warned us about Trump's revenge agenda

[electric_blue68]

21. "Will you shut up, man."

😑😑😑😑😑👍

[samnsara]

22. see ya in court, loser.

[chicoescuela]

27. The courts will not ultimately be our friends

[iemanja]

23. The election already brought them down

Malignant narcissist fuck.

[Chasstev365]

26. And the GOP and Fox will be just fine with it!

[bucolic_frolic]

29. The moral authority decides who is evil

It's an era of farce, irony, absurdity.

[OrwellwasRight]

31. What will this do to people's livelihoods!

Would you hire a former Biden staffer knowing your company could get caught in a scandal? Or be subject to some of the nonsense being perpetrated against colleges and law firms? This is not just retribution of his “enemies.” It is playing with the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people whose names he does not know (and doesn’t care to know). Everyone is a pawn to him.
