This is a critically important segment of the President Trump interview with NBC. Within this segment President Trump is asked whether he would direct, encourage or seek to have Attorney General Pam Bondi or FBI Director Kash Patel target the previous administration officials.
President Trump says there would be no instruction from him to appoint a special counsel or special investigator(s) for the conduct of Joe Biden or previous administration officials. However, President Trump also takes the opportunity to note the targeting and weaponization the former Biden administration directed toward him.
SEGMENT TRANSCRIPT – KRISTEN WELKER: Ok. Let’s talk about some of your picks to fill out your administration. You named Kash Patel to be the next FBI director.
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: Yeah.
KRISTEN WELKER: He has a list in his book of 60 people that he calls members of the so-called “deep state.” It includes Democrats like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. It includes former members of your cabinet, from Bill Barr to Christopher Wray. You campaigned on destroying the deep state. Do you want Kash Patel to launch investigations into people on that list?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: No. I mean, he’s going to do what he thinks is right. And I will —
KRISTEN WELKER: Well, do you think that’s right?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: — and I will —
KRISTEN WELKER: Do you think that’s right, sir?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: If they think that somebody was dishonest or crooked or a corrupt politician, I think he probably has an obligation to do it, but —
KRISTEN WELKER: Are you going to direct him to do it?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
No. Not at all. Not at all. We have two great people that — we have him, and we have Pam. And Pam Bondi has been like a rocket ship. She’s very popular and very good and very fair. And Kash Patel is very fair. I’ll tell you. I thought Kash may be difficult because he’s, you know, a strong conservative voice, and I don’t know of anybody that’s not singing his praises. The other day, I was watching, and Trey Gowdy, who’s a moderate person and very smart and very respected in the party, he’s Kash’s biggest fan. He said, “This is the most misunderstood man in politics. He’s great.” I guess they worked together on the Russia hoax or something, and Trey Gowdy became a fan. Trey, you know, Trey Gowdy. Everybody respects him, and, you know, just like him, others also, I don’t know of one negative vote — I don’t think he’s going to have any negative votes.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Is it your expectation, though, that Kash Patel will pursue investigations against your political enemies?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
No, I don’t think so.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Do you want to see that happen?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
If they were crooked, if they did something wrong, if they have broken the law, probably. They went after me. You know, they went after me and I did nothing wrong.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Well, let me ask you this. You said, President Biden, quote, that you’re going to appoint a real special prosecutor to go after Joe Biden. You said that during —
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Where did I say that?
KRISTEN WELKER:
— the campaign
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Where?
KRISTEN WELKER:
You said that on Truth Social, June 12, 2023: “I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States, Joe Biden —
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Well, that part is true.
KRISTEN WELKER:
— and the entire Biden crime family.” Are you going to do that? Are you going to go after Joe Biden?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
I’m really looking to make our country successful. I’m not looking to go back into the past. I’m looking to make our country successful. Retribution will be through success. If we can make our success — this country successful, that would be my greatest, that would be such a great achievement. Bring it back. We have a country now that’s overridden with crime, that has millions of people that shouldn’t be here, that should be in prisons in other countries, that should be in mental institutions. We have drug lords being dropped into our country and told never go back to their country. I’m looking to make our country great. I’m looking to get — bring prices down. Because, you know, I won on two things, the border and more than immigration. You know, they like to say immigration, I break it down more to the border, but I won on the border, and I won on groceries. Very simple word, groceries. Like almost — you know, who uses the word? I started using the word — the groceries. When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that. We’re going to bring those prices way down.
KRISTEN WELKER:
I want to pause here, because what you’re saying is significant. Because you wrote on Truth
Social in 2023 that you’re going to appoint a real special prosecutor to go after Joe Biden. Now you’re saying you’re not going to do that.
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
I will say this, no, I’m not doing that unless I find something that I think is reasonable, but that’s not going to be my decision. That’s going to be Pam Bondi’s decision, and, to a different extent, Kash Patel, assuming they’re both there, and I think they’re both going to get approved. But I — I — you know, while you ask me that, what they’ve done to me with weaponization is a disgrace.
KRISTEN WELKER:
We’ll get to some of that, sir —
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
No, no, wait, wait, wait, you can’t do one without the other. In the history of our country, nothing like this has ever happened. And I’ve won these cases. I’ve won every one and the rest are in the process of being won. Deranged Jack Smith is on his way back to The Hague where he can execute people. This is where he should have stayed. I don’t — I think he’s dangerous even being there. But I’ll tell you what, what they’ve done to me in terms of weaponization, indictments, impeachments and everything else. And in the end, it probably helped, because I got the biggest vote, the most votes any Republican’s ever gotten in history.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Do — Pam Bondi talks about investigating the investigators. Do you want her to investigate Jack Smith based —
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
I want her to do what she wants to do.
KRISTEN WELKER:
— do you want to see Jack Smith investigated?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Well, I think he’s very corrupt, but I want her to do whatever she —
KRISTEN WELKER:
Are you going to direct her —
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
No, I’m not, I’m not
KRISTEN WELKER:
— to prosecute Jack Smith?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
She’s a very smart person. She’s — She was a great attorney general in Florida. She’s very experienced. I want her to do what she wants to do. I’m not going to instruct her to do it, no.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Sir, are you going to fire the current FBI director, Christopher Wray, who you appointed?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Well, I can’t say I’m thrilled with him. He invaded my home. I’m suing the country over it. He invaded Mar-a-Lago. I’m very unhappy with the things he — he’s done, and crime is at an all time high. Migrants are pouring into the country that are from prisons and from mental institutions, as we’ve discussed. I can’t say I’m thrilled. I don’t want to say — I don’t want to, again, I don’t want to be Joe Biden and give you an answer and then do the exact opposite —
KRISTEN WELKER:
We’re going to talk about that —
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
— so I’m not going to do that. What I’m going to say is I certainly cannot be happy with him. You take a look at what’s happened. And then when I was shot in the ear, he said, “Oh, maybe it was shrapnel.” Where’s the shrapnel coming from? Is it coming from — is it coming from heaven? I don’t think so. So we need somebody to straighten — you know, I have a lot of respect for the FBI, but the FBI’s respect has gone way down over the last number of years.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Don’t you have to fire him in order to make room for Kash Patel —
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Yeah, but —
KRISTEN WELKER:
— if he is, in fact, confirmed?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Well, I mean, it would sort of seem pretty obvious that if Kash gets in, he’s going to be taking somebody’s place, right? Somebody is the man that you’re talking about.
The only good thing to come out of the 2020 steal is anyone who is paying attention can see the depths of the deep state/government corruption.
So TRUMP basically he will do NOTHING against previous ADM? BS that is not what got him elected. Don’t expect much.
Your concern is duly noted
He says he will not Be Directing them to do it, implying he’s not going to be like what Joe did to him. But Patel and Bondi, will do what they need to do. These two already have a mission.
The headline of this post made it seem that way, but his actual words seem to imply he’s going to have his appointees take care of it, that way he has political cover. I wanted more brimstone from him, but maybe this is how he has to play it, even though nobody came after Biden for targeting him.
I’ll say if we’re a year in, and nothing is happening to them, there’s no movement, say goodbye to the rule of law. You simply cannot have an admin breaking the law in as many ways as they did, even forgetting the ops against tump, without paying some sort of price. That, in itself, would encourage the resurgence of vigilante justice.
If the President ordered the military or police or anyone else out of vengeance or revenge, he would be Stalin or Pol Pot. But, he doesn’t have to.
What these men and women have done are felonies. And, crooked judges helped them do it. So, all that is needed here is bold, clear-eyed law enforcement.
You are charged. You are brought before a jury anywhere else but the DC Circuit … until we can disband the “DC Circuit” because a single city doesn’t require one.
Trump should nominate Mark Levin and create a new dept of anti corruption..Levin should have been nominated along side of Bondi.
“The other day, I was watching, and Trey Gowdy, who’s a moderate person and very smart and very respected in the party, he’s Kash’s biggest fan.“
How special.
Rooster is a FILTHY LIBERAL Clinton appointee.
aka, not a MAGA / America Firster
Trump was using rhetorical devices there, regardless of how he feels about rooster, to set Kash up as being respected and moderate.
Disappointing. I want, once in my life, to see the good guys go after the bad guys. It has never happened in my lifetime.
He’s *not* saying he won’t get them… he’s going to let his people do their jobs… Be Optimistic!
“… I don’t want to, again, I don’t want to be Joe Biden and give you an answer and then do the exact opposite….”
AND
“… That’s going to be Pam Bondi’s decision, and, to a different extent, Kash Patel
…
I want her to do what she wants to do. I’m not going to instruct her …”
Let President Trump get his folks in place before any agenda is released.
If he telegraphs his plans before the confirmation hearings, it will give his political enemies on both sides ammunition to thwart him.
I think he has learned from Term I to keep his cards VERY close to his vest.
That is what the deplorables and Garbage people expect when they voted for TRUMP. Looks like we been fooled again?
Try harder.
Yeah. This poster is pretty obvious
He did NOT say that those people will be given a pass. He did not say that if crimes are in evidence that he will direct his staff not to pursue prosecution. He only said that he will not specifically direct that certain people be investigated. President Trump himself has been very vocal about the wrongful activities of certain people. And I am substantially certain that Patel and Bondi know what is needed to steer the ship of justice to what is needed and what we MAGA voters support. The evidence now must be collected and that will take investigations.
So don’t be so quick to discount or abandon the march to accountability that our votes demanded. Let the inauguration and the nominations get done. Only then will your opinion be shown to be correct or wrong.
Your concern is duly noted
He’s not telling them what he’s going to do. Why give the enemy your modus operandi?
This is a very significant mistake. The corruption and illegal targeting will not only continue but get much worse without enforcing the law and holding the corrupt accountable. We voted for that.
Not quite what he did, but let’s see how it plays out.
Trump would be making a grievous error if he proclaimed an intention of retribution against the deep state. He knows better than anyone how corrupt they are and how low they will go. They still hold the levers of power. People on our side need to calm down and let Trump handle this. Proclaiming upcoming retribution against his enemies at this moment would give Rinos and Democrats still in power more fodder to oppose his nominees and undermine his agenda.
To all the first timers in the Refuge today, trust the world’s favourite President.
He will never forget, or forgive the relentless targeting of himself, family, and supporters.
P/T answers destroyed the globalist/criminals and showed the bias of the media. P/T didn’t want to alert the criminals, he wants them to feel a bit more comfortable, especially before the confirmation hearings and make Biden pardons look worse. P/T at this point in time said everything regarding justice perfectly! P/T stated the DOJ/FBI has a duty to look at the evidence and prosecute. IMO-When possible, have the DOJ work with a state court to prosecute etc. etc. etc. P/T will be given the evidence (already has the evidence) and if the Attorney General doesn’t act, the President has a duty to demand Justice based upon the evidence. The evidence is so overwhelming there has to be some form of justice, by state courts civil suits, civil rights suites and bankrupt them all etc. The criminal dispositions and paper trails will be shown to the world of what they did. Justice will happen in many forms.
If bank robbers are not prosecuted and just have to live with the title of being a bank robber…it will not deter other bank robbers because at worst case they will only be punished with being a bank robber.
FILTHY LIBERALS
Why does he talk to these Assholes?
Rearrange the Briefing Room.
PUT THESE LYING BASTARDS IN THE BACK WHERE THEY BELONG.
Podcasters, streamers at the front. They have way bigger audiences than these FILTHY LIBERALS.
He actually did say he was going to do that.
The bitching over this and that, is simply unbecoming to this community. Leave the nit picking to the monkeys, and let the decisions mature into a team. While we a lot to process, remember for example “Welker” and the Asst. AG were lunching,
and “47” speaking to her in depth would be a disaster- Why? because any possible opening will be exploited – if I am correct, we on the street know, so the President does as well. What is going to happen is a feed statement, that can be tracked. Why not share this on all leftist sites you can in the comments:
Quite simple but every part is rejection of the opposition. Be Blessed
This video could be very helpful for someone you love.
I would suggest that people watch and share with loved ones.
Thank you.
Thank you for putting this up. I find After Skool visual/audio of this kind so much easier to comprehend than reading someone like Gurwinder’s Prism on substack. I am able to retain it better as well.
Funny how lots of us here consume similar media.
Wouldn’t a Ven Diagram of Treepers consumption be interesting to see?
“….Master-debaters are naturally drawn to areas where arguing well is more important than being correct—law, politics, media, and academia—and in these industries of pure theory, sheltered from reality, they use their powerful rhetorical skills to convince each other of FIBs; the more counterintuitive, the better. Naturally, their most virulent arguments soon escape the lab, spreading from individuals to departments to institutions to societies…”
Certainly explains a lot about how we are where we are.
PDJT certainly can frustrate “intelligent” people by the way he “weaves” and “bobs” like a fighter in the ring.
I like the comment regarding him “disarming” those who are guilty as hell. As he knew she would bring this subject up
and what her goal was.
He is the GOAT, and we best not forget that. I have been able to sleep like a baby since 11/5. Is it all perfect? of course not, but we all know that perfect is the enemy of Good.
Seems like the “doom & gloom”-ers are out in force on this articles comment page(s).
Reminds me of the, “Oh ye of so little faith.”.
Heck, DJT isn’t even in office yet and it seems the “I gotta have it done now” ( < instantaneous gratification) whiners come out in force.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day”, and the Roman empire did not collapse in a day either.
Take a deep breathe and give things some time.
Even a good soup or sauce needs a little time to simmer & gather flavors before it gets tasty.
RUsh it & it may not come out as ya like.
GOD Bless~! ( & “chill out” a bit. sheesh 😉 )
Some people are better at looking deep enough to parse out what was said and what was not said. It is more helpful to teach them than to denigrate them for simply being human and having an emotional reaction.
I have been very very patient waiting for DJT to be elected. I have little patience left for those who have lost patience with how fast things are going, as I have done my share of trying to get folks to stay motivated & have patience for some years now.
Waiting for this time.
Be a helpful person. Instead of telling me what I should do to teach, perhaps set the example & show me how you think teaching those who have lost their patience with DJT should be done.
I would be quite happy to see it. I have run out of my own ideas on that.
I will check back. 😉
GOD Bless~!
look at her effin with a big NOTEBOOK of question. I hate that yetotch. They were trying so hard to get him on the record.
I’m glad I listened long enough to hear President Trump tell this arrogant harpy to her face that she was hostile. And he didn’t back down.
Probably a dumb question, but why does he do interviews with this type of people? Aren’t there any conservatives that want to interview him?
He is willing to be interviewed by just about anyone in order to reach more people. If he stuck to only conservative interviewers then much of the country would not hear it.
This one in particular was to support nomination chances for his cabinet, and reinforce his agenda. Trump is not a dictator and still must sell his plans and picks.
I’m tired of the pretending, these folks committed major crimes and must be investigated and prosecuted. No hemming or hawing please!
Yes, it’s very disappointing to hear. But what do you guys all want him to say at this point? “Yeah, I want to be a ninja, I want to chop, chop, chop them down, take them all down to Chinatown! You all can run, but you can’t hide” is that what you all expected him to say? He wasn’t even inaugurated yet. He has no immunity, no pen, and no phone!
You all want him to survive until his inauguration, right? Also, do you want all these miscreants start calling the White House staffers and beg for Joe to preemptively pardon them because “the big orange men” said he’s going to go after them for all the crimes they committed since 2015? Are you kidding me? Grow up and remember that the same people who have been running the project “Joe Biden” are still at the White House running the show.
Sangfroid!
I know what I do not want President Trump to do. I don’t want a bunch of Executive Orders which then don’t get passed by Congress and in four years all get scrapped again.
Patience is what is called for. Be patient and justice will be done. Bet on it.
I cant make myself watch those people. If I’d been him, I’d have threatened them with an investigation into whether they were a part of the conspiracy to get him.
BULLSH*T MOVE BY DJT.
He did the same by letting Hillary go. Look what his good grace got him. HELL, DONALD …. ARE YOU NUTS?
They framed you for Russia
Impeached you twice
Sued the fck out of you from NY to FL
Impeached you twice
SHOT YOU IN THE HEAD
TRIED TO SHOOT YOU ON YOUR OWN GOLF COURSE
And much, much more….
Every one of them deserves life in prison and many deserve the death penalty. Stop this Mr. Nice Guy BULLSH*T and go KICK SOME FKG ASS!!!
Dear Sourdough, — Ace Twittly, (above) has the answer:
“Yes, it’s very disappointing to hear. But what do you guys all want him to say at this point? “Yeah, I want to be a ninja, I want to chop, chop, chop them down, take them all down to Chinatown!

Are you kidding me? Grow up and remember that the same people who have been running the project “Joe Biden” are still at the White House running the show.”
Let’s just be cool until after he’s inaugurated. — there’s still time for that not to happen!
Yes, but he came through all of that standing tall. What a man.
She just flat out will not listen to what he said and rewording the same question over and over thinking she will get a different answer is really stupid on her part.. This tells me the “blob” still intends to derail his presidency and obama is moving back to DC to get the ball rolling again
If it were me. I would say the same thing. There needs to be real justice, but it can’t appear to be revenge. But rather, it needs to happen as an impartial pursuit of justice by those entrusted by the president to pursue Justice, like Kash and Bondi
This will happen as sure as God is just.
I would presume to speak for a sizable portion of Americans, as I am one of them. There needs to be a minimal retribution just so we know Justice is coming back to America. We have been so long seeing no consequences for illegal actions we demand some justice!
And he shouldn’t give the game away before he’s even sworn in as President. That is smart. I hope everyone realizes that the Left NEVER sleeps, NEVER gives up, is ALWAYS advancing, and always scheming.
Well, he can say he won’t do a ‘Joe Biden Pardon 180’ to hold the human scum accountable. But ya never know. “Oh no you di’int.”
Interrupting someone, multiple times, is such narcissistic, boorish, just RUDE behavior. I know it’s be come the established pattern for the press, but if this loose cannon was in such an interview, I’d stop her after the first time, and tell her, “Excuse me, either I’m going to speak, and speak in complete sentences, or you’re going to speak. Which is it? Do you want this interview, or do you intend to deliver a solo polemic?”
No, I’m NOT a patient, nor tolerant man. I have behavior expectations of decency.
With all due respect, Mr. President, the American people have spoken. We don’t want unity, we want revenge, retribution and absolute destruction of the lunatic left that has destroyed our country and our lives (and yours too). Without accountability, the left will rise again. They must be destroyed so that their kind cannot rise to power again. We need long jail terms for the perpetrators of the fraud and crimes against our country and humanity.
So if you go on Yahoo News, they have an article on CNN’s FACT CHECK. According to CNN, everything President Trump said here is a lie. They are still going after him. It’s despicable.
Mary McCord and leaking hubbie Shooky
Hopefully Bondi and Patel don’t pull a Loretta Lynch and with their first big case indict a mostly-foreign inconsequential corrupt body that only girlie Euros care about like FIFA.
AG Lynch: “We are going prosecute FIFA!”
Americans: “Who?”
Lynch: “You know, soccer!”
Americans: “What?”
First order of business on Jan 20, 2025. Place new Syrian refugee camp next to the Clintons in Chappaqua.
I seem to recall how we were all going to crawl over broken glass or molten lava to vote for PDJT. Well, we managed to not only elect him but also win the popular vote. Now, because he isn’t pulling out weapons of mass destruction against the people we know have tried to destroy him, his family and us, in an INTERVIEW before even one of his chosen cabinet nominees has been CONFIRMED, folks here are having a meltdown.
Well, I trust him enough to have voted for him three times, at the cost of my longest lived friendship, so forgive me if I will summon enough trust in him to believe he has learned much in the last years, learned also at great PERSONAL COST, to have some faith that he has thought this through and will do what he has decided needs to be done.
I am so tired of the Panic Posse that is posting here in increasing numbers. Take a chill pill, please
Some people in the comments below still don’t understand “Pres Trump Speak”. When he says “HE won’t BE DIRECTING them” what he is saying is I’ve hired these people and whatever they deem is criminal, I’m going to let them do their jobs. Meaning, hell ya, Patel, at least, not so sure about Bondi just yet, will pursue these past criminal actions.
Right. So, not only is he going to allow these people to stonewall him again for four years, but he’s also opening the door for them to persecute him again once he leaves office by not punishing them. And not only that but it will go back to business in as usual in DC after his term is over. I voted for him in part for him to punish those responsible for the atrocities we’ve seen not just these past four years but going back longer. These people don’t give two craps about a mandate or whatever you want to call it. So incredibly maddening and disappointing.
President Trump was weak in the discussion about vaccines and autism. When Welker countered with “All the studies have shown there is no link between vaccines and autism” he should have said that there are also many studies that do show a very possible link between vaccines and autism and that these are studies that RFK Jr is thoroughly familiar with which is why further serious study is warranted. He should not have let Welker get away with the same propaganda they use for climate change, “An overwhelming number of scientists agree man is causing global warming.”
I want the black cow in New York, Letitia James, and the black sow in Georgia, Fanni Willis, to be sent to women’s prisons where they will come to fear broom handles.
Of course, as Prez-elect, Trump cannot go on TV and state “Yup, I’m going to direct all executive leadership to target the political opponents who manufactured false impeachments and Lawfare machinations.”
How Letitia of him that would be! Not the sort of thing one wants to defend at a trial (speaking casually about weaponized government). Not the sort of thing one states while pushing the unity rhetoric all these politicians market.
His answer is perfect: “I’m directing the leadership to do their jobs.”
It would seem to me that this liberal hack….Welker….who I can not stand……is extremely worried for her traitorous friends that are corrupt and have broken laws and gone against the Constitution. Personally…..I don’t think President Trump is going to come out now that he has been elected and tell all the rats he is coming after them. You don’t want them scattering….and many are anyways.
But…….there definately better be some…..going after the rats or there is going to be a whole lot of unhappy we the people out here!
Part of making America Great Again is seeing justice and accountability for those we know are corrupt and treasonous! It absolutely must happen!
Why would he have to ‘direct’ Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to do their jobs?
As I’ve poster before, going through the normal channels is not an option. We are actually in a post constitutional time. The entire system is corrupt, including all the courts and SCOTUS as well. This situation calls for extreme actions that have never been done before. The 2020 election were a textbook case of a coup d’etat, and a successful one at that. This wasn’t perpetrated against Trump, but the American people and our constitution. President Trump MUST take drastic measures to fix this. Passing it off to little Pam Blondie won’t cut it. Most of the congressional leadership must be rounded up on Inauguration Day, using friendly elements of the military. This is legal under the Presidential Emergency Action Documents and the Patriot Act. ALL the big names must be captured and held without bail in one of our overseas prisons like GITMO, or the one in central America etc, the clintons, obama, biden, schumer, mcconnell, brennan, clapper, much of SCOTUS, and so on down the line. Several hundred people to start. Trump’s Inauguration speech should be informing the American people what is happening. He should announce a special broadcast that evening with someone expert in explaining complex things to stupid people, laying out in total what occurred in 2020, showing total 100% proof of the coup, with nothing withheld. Those rounded up need to be tried overseas in a military tribunal and punished accordingly. None of them should ever walk free again. Nothing less is acceptable. Nothing less is justice. There will be NO moving on without hangings. There will be NO unity without justice. Maybe Trump is willing to let it all go, but We The People are NOT!
I think his answer was the smart way to phrase it. He is not directing them to target anyone specifically,
like what was done to him. He is going to let them do their jobs! He is not even president yet and his nominees have not been confirmed yet. It has to be about justice, not revenge. If he came out and said he is going to get all those bastards, it would backfire and impede his nominations.
It bothers me that President Trump gives Welker the recognition that she does not deserve.
To decrease bothered feels, perhaps reframe President Trumps prime time Sunday interview on CNN using MAGA FOCUSED, realpolitic mature, psywar savvy and spiritually discerning cost/benefit analysis?
Based on such a cost/benefit analysis, the already known, amazing benefits President Trump gained from this interview were achieved by giving some CNN TV person a few moments of perhaps undeserved recognition == a MAGA GREAT DEAL
