Hell has no fury like a politician scorned and convicted only to return to power. Donald Trump has been taking names for four years. Now it’s time for him to start the revenge tour, kick some liberal butt and rerun the classic Star Wars movie, “The Empire Strikes Back.” Democrats must respond vigorously to stop the carnage with the limited tools they have at hand.

The soon-to-be 47th president really means business this time. He is weaponized with a compliant Congress, a friendly Supreme Court, a knowledge of where the bodies are buried within the executive branch and an agenda compliments of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. He won’t be able to run for reelection in 2028 so he can settle old scores without any worry about political repercussions. What more could a dictator wannabe ask for?

The tyrannical Roman emperor Caligula wanted to appoint his horse to the Senate to express his disdain for the political establishment. Trump couldn’t find a suitable horse, so in the grand imperial tradition, he nominated Matt Gaetz to be the chief legal officer of the land.

Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration as attorney general, but Trump demonstrated his contempt for the criminal justice system that prosecuted and convicted him with the injudicious appointment. The attorney general should be a figure whom Americans can look up to. But people needed to look way down to see Gaetz since only one out of five people have a favorable opinion of him.
