Retribution
It’s consoling in a morbid way that Trump, instead of governing, has shifted his focus of late to retribution against has (many) perceived enemies. It means he is concerned about the outcome of the mid-terms and he has decided to get his licks in while he still can… with luck before he is impeached… again.
On a separate note, if the Governor of Illinois and the Mayor of Chicago are actually “locked up,” it will be the end of Democracy in America. Look for the Governor to be a candidate on the Democratic Ticket in 2028.
