Trump, who was targeted twice for assassination and complained that his security was not tight enough, pulls security for his own former advisers targeted for death by Iran, Mike Pompeo and Brian Hook, just as he previously did for John Bolton. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/u... - ThreadSky

This claim is misleading, Trump's security decisions are based on threat assessments, not personal relationships or past experiences, and it's unfair to imply he's putting lives at risk for personal reasons.

Petty little baby man

Would not those scarce security resources be better utilized guarding our precious email servers?

What happened to NYT's core values?

Loyalty is a one way street for this guy, when he’s done with you, you’re done…. Doesn’t matter who you are. When will people learn?

rosajaneward.bsky.social•31 days ago

Wish I could bad about that.

dennisg0906.bsky.social•31 days ago

Okay, I give him a 👍 on this one. Mike Pompeo deserves what he’s getting.

gloria6262.bsky.social•31 days ago

But they missed. Trump wasn’t hurt. That big rag on his ear was just for show. Those advisers should have known Trump was coming for them. Trump don’t give a damn about anybody but himself.

Also, Blob has said Pompeo REALLY objected to the JFK report’s release. Mikey P and Ted Cruz’s dad killed Jack

You’re such a Trump cuck. Prove they weren’t staged. We’ll wait. Fuck the @nytimes.com

david-in-design.bsky.social•31 days ago

He’s sick. And twisted.

bayless59.bsky.social•31 days ago

Why hasn’t there ever been a deep dive story done about the 20 year old loner who was killed in PA who targeted? candidate Trump. parents friends or family…so tragic.

The lives of others are a trifle to Trump.

As soon as they hook up to the trump train they were destined to crash!! No sympathy!!!!!

flishdog.bsky.social•31 days ago

Felon trump should reject his own security too. No need to waste money on the orange jesus!

Chess not checkers

mmwh.bsky.social•31 days ago

That is on purpose. Just like him not telling his violent base to stop when they were trying to hang Mike Pence. He wants it to happen, and that makes him an accomplice.

If IRG wants them, security will not help. Advertising its absence might.

margotsibley25.bsky.social•31 days ago

IRG.

Sounds pretty on brand to me. The Revenge Tour in action.

greatlakes88.bsky.social•31 days ago

I am sure thoughts and prayers are more than enough.

sallyb33755.bsky.social•31 days ago

So ... it's Trump sentencing them to indirect assassination as petty revenge.

Assassination is one of the tools a dictator uses.

travexas.bsky.social•31 days ago

Peter, come on. Calling either of those events assassination attempts is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

rembrandt77.bsky.social•31 days ago

Fact...

duhoc.bsky.social•31 days ago

A good reporter would get to the bottom of this. Pompeii was a kool add drinker. What was the split that caused this?

sassiesmom.bsky.social•31 days ago

how does any of this lower the price of eggs????

camerondurham.bsky.social•31 days ago

Assassination by proxy.Clean hands and all that

annala2.bsky.social•31 days ago

News flash - he only cares about himself and is out for revenge. The sick bastard wants them dead.

daysarediamonds.bsky.social•31 days ago

The night of the long knives is coming for a lot of 45's former associates.

lvetten.bsky.social•31 days ago

Exactly

englishjen.bsky.social•31 days ago

just so vile

gwenrollo.bsky.social•31 days ago

No tears for people who were happy to jump on the train knowing exactly who he was.

cosmopolitan23.bsky.social•31 days ago

Not that this needs to be said but what a petty, bitter asshole. All the millions of fools who voted for him, it’s on you. (The feckless Merrick Garland too)
