Mikey Smith, serving as the Mirror’s Deputy Political Editor (Sunday) from Westminster, highlights Donald Trump’s inclination to hold grudges and his utilization of state power against perceived adversaries. The recent FBI raid on John Bolton’s residence underscores Trump’s unchecked authority. The raid, related to classified document handling, is part of Trump’s ongoing pursuit of adversaries, including Bolton, over disagreements during his first administration. Despite no charges, Trump’s actions reflect his pattern of targeting critics. Meanwhile, Trump’s threat of a city takeover in response to crime statistics in Washington, DC, exemplifies his focus on intimidation rather than fact-based governance. Trump’s past actions, including grand jury probes and security clearance removals, demonstrate his approach to handling dissent. As the situation unfolds, Trump’s behavior continues to draw attention and scrutiny, with developments indicating potential distractions to divert focus from ongoing investigations.
