  • Less than a month after his victory, President-elect Donald Trump has assembled a team ready to carry out two of his biggest priorities: retribution against his political adversaries and a wholesale reshaping of the U.

The article from Reuters discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's strategy for a potential second term, focusing on retribution and a significant overhaul of the federal government. Trump has assembled a team of loyalists and conservative allies, including individuals like Kash Patel and Stephen Miller, who are known for their aggressive tactics and loyalty to Trump. This team is reportedly planning to use the Department of Justice to target Trump's political enemies, dismantle what they perceive as the "deep state," and implement policies that align closely with Trump's vision. Key elements include replacing thousands of civil servants with Trump loyalists, restructuring government agencies to reduce their independence, and potentially invoking the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to deploy the military against civil unrest. This approach signals a more authoritarian governance style, aiming to centralize power and enact revenge on those who opposed him, while also pushing forward an agenda of deregulation and conservative policy changes.
