As always happens, the Democratic response to President Trump’s condemnable demand that Attorney General Pam Bondi step up efforts to prosecute Trump’s political enemies is hysterical and devoid of self-awareness.
That’s a big part of why our Machiavellian chief executive does these things. While I know the operating theory of many analysts is that Trump’s post was accidental (i.e., he inadvertently published on Truth Social what he intended as a private message to Bondi), I am not convinced. Yes, the post was taken down quickly, and an effort was made to supersede it with an ode to Bondi, but I doubt Trump does much direct messaging, and I don’t see why he would do it with someone he can dress down in person or in a phone call any time he wants.
