Trump Tees Up Revenge Cycle With ‘I Am Your Retribution’ Speech

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

What more warning do we need? He’s the only president twice impeached, to attempt a coup, and to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Despite the blizzard of lies, half-truths, and deceptions, he usually conveys exactly what he means to do. Like an aging rock star hitting the road for one last hurrah, Trump’s 2024 campaign is the “Retribution” tour.

Fat Boy has always been a one-hit wonder of grievance.

There’s a marvelous story from Sir Richard Branson who made the mistake of having lunch with Fat Boy in the early 90s, shortly after he’d recovered from his first of oh-so-many bankruptcies. As Branson recalls it, the entire time all Fat Boy did was bitch and moan about the people who didn’t come to his rescue and how he was going to fuck them up the first chance he got. It was a psychotic one-man band of infantile revenge and payback. Branson said it made him sick to sit there and listen to him.

Trump sells. If he were elected most news sites would be thrilled. Not because of Trump but the ads and money.

A Faustian bargain if there ever was one, since we all know Fat Boy would order every news outlet to write fawning stories about him or disband them if he could.

It sounded more to me like this:
“Do you know what “nemesis” means?
A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. In this case by a horrible c**t…me.”
