Biden Faces Threat of Prosecution and Ideological Purge

Joe Biden's final day in office was marked by a commitment to upholding America's political norms. He welcomed Donald Trump to the White House for a ceremonial tea meeting, despite their starkly different political ideologies. This act of graciousness was not reciprocated by Trump, who has embarked on a campaign of vengeance since returning to the presidency.

Trump's vindictive streak was evident in his first week back in the White House, culminating in a Fox News interview where he threatened Biden with criminal prosecution over alleged family corruption. This threat, while not entirely unexpected from Trump, comes after a series of actions targeting Biden appointees and other federal employees.

The potential for a politically motivated prosecution of Biden is a worrying development, especially considering Trump's appointment of Pam Bondi as attorney general. Bondi is a staunch Trump loyalist who may be willing to carry out his wishes.

Democrats are now grappling with the consequences of their failure to defeat Trumpism after the January 6th attack on the Capitol. This failure may have far-reaching implications as Trump seeks to settle scores with his political opponents.
