Trump touts political firings and retribution as he begins a government overhaul in his image

^{Published on 2025-01-21 17:00:39 - CNN}

President Donald Trump's political retribution tour began this week with firings of his perceived enemies inside the federal government, the targeting of former intelligence and national security officials and a directive to investigate the actions by the Biden administration.

The article from CNN, published on January 21, 2025, discusses former President Donald Trump's actions following his return to the political spotlight. Trump has been touting his ability to fire political appointees and enact retribution against those he perceives as disloyal or obstructive during his previous term. He has been actively installing loyalists in key government posts, aiming to ensure that his future political endeavors are supported by individuals who align closely with his views and objectives. This move is part of a broader strategy to consolidate power and influence within the Republican Party and potentially set the stage for another presidential run, emphasizing loyalty and control over government operations.
