Six months into his second term, personal gain and petty retribution seem to be Donald Trump’s only goals for his presidency, Tom Nichols argues in The Atlantic Daily.

He’s gutting the government and defying the constitution and taking advantage of the American people for personal gain. What a small sad man whose only legacy will be one built on lies, deceit, and the destruction of America.

@theatlantic.com Make the headline accurate: Trump's revenge and retribution tour is in full force; he won't stop until he dismantles everything. He does not see the role of president as being a role of a public servant acting on behalf of everyone's better interests, only for people he likes.

Of course , his only role is too distract from the Heritage Foundation trying to turn us into a Taliban like Country . I am sure their part is just to make sure Trump stays out of prison . SCOTUS is doing their part as well ...

Because the ONLY thing Trump can relate to is his image. The only thing he can control in a disturbed mind is the fantasy he's crafted about himself. I would put money on the idea Trump is a maladaptive daydreamer and spends most of his waking state there.

Avoiding prison and revenge. It's all he needed to sell out America.

“Seem to be”? That was essentially his campaign slogan.

I agree with this statement 100%. He is not a smart man as we have seen what his IQ is. It is all about revenge.

“It doesn’t really matter what (the media) write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” — Trump in an interview with Esquire Magazine in 1991.

“This kind of explanation is the sort of thing that high-school teachers get from teenage smart alecks who think they’re being clever in class.” You’re too kind, Mr. Nichols: I’d place this crew as middle schoolers.🫤

I think somebody in the White House “faith office” has convinced him that he’ll be able to take his money with him when he dies.

These might be Trump's goals, but he's also advancing his Project 2025 "pals" goals.
