Opinion - Trump's revenge and retribution tour is hurting Americans and Republicans

(The Hill) While hardworking Americans battle soaring costs to feed their families, President Trump’s revenge and retribution tour against his political enemies continues with a vengeance. He fixates on President Biden autopens while parents lose sleep over price increases for groceries and health care for themselves and their families.

Visions of Ebenezer Scrooge’s greed in “A Christmas Carol” will conjure up the ghosts of Trump’s heartless indifference to the suffering of financially hard-pressed families.

Trump is a wounded jungle beast that gets angrier the more it bleeds. He is primed for revenge, which only exacerbates his problems. His job rating is so low that it must rise significantly just to reach mediocre. But history doesn’t offer presidents much hope in improving their standing in the sixth year of a presidency.

I see what they did there. Those two words are mutually exclusive, right? The Venn diagram is two circles, light years apart?
