Trump Aide Confirms 'Score Settling' is His Policy Agenda
The New York Times reports that Susie Wiles, a senior advisor to Donald Trump, openly acknowledged his prosecution of political opponents is about "score settling." Mainstream media, bless their hearts, frame this as a shocking admission. As if the last several years weren't a continuous, flashing neon sign reading 'RETRIBUTION NOW.' This isn't a new strategy, just a newly admitted one.
Dictatorships and wannabe autocrats have always used legal systems to remove dissenters. Critics might consider this a chilling precedent for American democracy, or what's left of it. But really, it’s just the natural evolution when a former president is allowed to suggest his political enemies should be jailed, and the system shrugs.
