Tattoo says it's not at all driven by political retribution.
But that they have to clarify this is not an enemies list retribution thing.
Also seems kinda pot/kettle.. if only Bolton had the authority to say, "Okay, all these boxes are now declassified," and then take them to Mar-a-Lago as keepsakes. Which is totally legal if you're still president at the time.
This article from April is pay-walled, but pretty much everyone on Trump's (not-like-Nixon-at-all) enemies list are getting checked off one by one. Nixon used the IRS, I think Trump is using the DOJ. Suing and raids mostly. For universities, he threatens their funding for being Bolsheviks woke marxists teaching DEI.
Bolton was at least a predicted target by many.

I'm sure there are TOTALLY LEGIT Merica-loving and patriotic reasons for all this... if He says there is. It's all perfectly cromulent. (That's a real word now)
But it's the age of not being overtly dictatorship-like, so they get sued in the NOT WEAPONIZED DOJ or raided by the TOTALLY NOT WEAPONIZED FBI... or have their funds made contingent on teaching approved ideology.
Normal things ALL democracies do.
Unfortunately, Many are now programmed upon reading this to defer to Trump's foundational victim card. DARVO as always. He has good reasons for that list!
Then, just reverse accusations and say The Biden DOJ did it first... Or Obama. Or Clinton. Or Anything Democrat. and then add something about authoritarian Marxist oppression that teaches kids demonic woke ideology, or pushes for open borders and socialism. And then base your entire Making America Great Again Christian Nationalism takeover on an unspoken, deep-seated phobia or outright oppression of change that makes you uncomfortable.
I can see where everyone is coming from when they say this but if they listed every single person who has ever called Trump a doody head id wager 90% are still around and probably aren't going anywhere. The list will really start having to narrow down quickly for me to see it any other way than biased. Even the small list you listed are full of people and places that are still here. Clinton's aren't going anywhere and i doubt any ivy league school will disappear. Lets say even the small list you presented, when it hits 75% maybe ill start looking at it side eyed. I feel like its too early to say the sky is falling. Obviously, Bolton had it coming whether he had words with Trump or not.
