"He wants retribution. He wants revenge. There's no greater crime in Trump's eyes than opposing Trump."
"He is driven, I think, by the desire to amass power. All of the politics, all of the belief systems, all of that is just a convenience for him."
The article analyzes President Trump's motivations behind his executive actions, suggesting they stem from a deep need for retribution against those who opposed him, particularly after his election loss.
