To know him is to loathe him.

January 25, 2024

Donald Trump loves nothing better than to insult, mock and otherwise attack his perceived enemies. Whether it's Democrats, the media, judges, prosecutors, the "deep state" or any of a host of others, he delights in blathering endlessly and annoyingly about his plans to wreak vengeance upon them.

But these are not the enemies Trump should be worrying about. On the contrary, the biggest threat to the traitorous career criminal are the people he once hired to work for him, who know him best, and have come to recognize him for the dangerous narcissistic sociopath he is. Consider these examples.

Former defense secretary Mark Esper: “He puts himself before country. His actions are all about him and not about the country.”

Former chief of staff and national security advisor General John Kelly: "He is the most flawed person I know. The depths of his dishonesty are astounding.”

General James Mattis, Trump's first defense secretary: "He is more dangerous than anyone could ever imagine.”

Another national security advisor, John Bolton: "He’s not fit to be president.”

Trump's second attorney general, Bill Barr: “Our country can't be a therapy session for a troubled man.”

General H.R. McMaster, yet another national security advisor: “President Trump [has] repeatedly compromised our principles in pursuit of partisan advantage and personal gain.”

Former assistant to Trump's chief of staff, Cassidy Hutchinson: “Clearly an irrational man.”

Former secretary of state Mike Pompeo: “We can’t be following celebrity leaders with fragile egos who refuse to acknowledge reality.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House Director of Strategic Communications: “A second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it.”

Plus, of course, Trump's own VP, Mike Pence: “Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States."

And this is only a partial list of those who have spoken out against the disgraced ex-president. Others include his former attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen; his one-time secretary of state, Rex Tillerson; his secretary of education, Betsy DeVos; his secretary of labor, Elaine Chao; his transition manager, Chris Christie; his former communications director Anthony Scaramucci, and so many more that we risk running out of room.

Not only do his one-time friends invariably become two-timing foes, they also present the most danger to Trump personally. Because it's the testimony of people like these that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life. Which would be good news for the rest of us who also despise him.
