George Conway: Trump 'wants to have revenge on the United States of America'

[Dulcinea]

(The Hill) Conservative lawyer George Conway said President Trump’s bold changes to the federal government reveal an effort to “destroy” its institutions and exact “revenge” on the country.

“This is an attempt — basically, Donald Trump wants to have revenge on the United States of America,” Conway, a fierce Trump critic, said in an interview on MSNBC.

“He doesn’t care about what anything does,” he continued. “He’s appointed [Elon] Musk, given him free rein. Musk has no idea what anything does.”

1. Something Ive long suspected

This is something I've long suspected; the entire election, voting, all of it is about revenge on us for not voting Trump into the Whitehouse. MAGA is entirely built on revenge.

None of them thought a lick about what they were voting for, they want revenge on the "elites."

Im not sure what they want revenge for aside from prosecuting Jan 6 insurrectionists. They broke the law, and 4 or 5 law enforcement officers. What else did they expect?

2. So, he ran for office again to make tons of $, stay out of jail and to

get revenge on the country who voted for Biden. My, my, I bet Jimmy Carter is looking down and is grateful he doesn't have to worry about this piece of shit personally destroying our country any more. Jimmy Carter is lucky.

3. It's interesting to me to watch devolution of Donald Trump.

When he started to be noticed by NYC media, he had strategic targets of his ire. Ed Koch, the Mayor. Leona Helmsley, a rival NYC real estate developer with her husband, Harry.

Then on to Atlantic City. Merv Griffin competing to buy land for his casino. Then Trump expanded his targets to the very banks that loaned him millions and millions of dollars because he didn't intend to repay the loans.

Then it was the Central Park Five, young men accused of severely assaulting and raping a woman jogger. Trump paid $85,000 in NYC newspapers to run a full-page ad demanding that New York State reinstate the death penalty solely for the CPF. He made them the modern-day Scottsboro Boys. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottsboro_Boys). They were later acquitted after another man confessed to the crime. (Trump never acknowledged or apologized.)

Then The Apprentice where he appeared to get off on "firing" people, even if arbitrarily. Intoxicated on power and prestige.

I can only surmise that his present attitude of "Burn it all down" comes from a deep-seeded response to being rejected which he experienced with Joe Biden's 2020 election. Perhaps the only time that Trump experienced a loss that he couldn't turn around. If he can't make you love him, then he'll destroy you. First by fear, then by other destructive means.

4. Yes. On Jan. 6, 2021, the attack was confined to the U.S. Capitol.

Now that he’s back in office, he’s attacking everything he possibly can.
