I'm getting tired of reading media reports that cast everything the POTUS does as "getting even" or "retribution." While he is certainly animated by animus, this overly simplistic story line once again makes it all about Trump, and it almost gives him a pass for the fallout from every new dumbfuck thing he does.
It also tends to detract from the seriousness of the latest dumbfuckery, as if to suggest the POTUS's personal grudges and wrecking democratic norms/checks and balances aren't the same thing.
