I cant wait for the day when that damn name is finally torn off the hotel doors for good.
We ARE always going to remember you, donald, because youve taught us what to look for. Like, for example, lies and distortions everywhere, across the board, and pretty much every minute of the day and the night.

(22,616 posts)Thanks to years of observing being subjected to the shenanigans of the orange ex-potus with the combover from hell, I know exactly what narcissism looks like, talks like, and acts like. My antennae are so finely tuned now that I can practically smell narcissism, and I will never be taken in by it. Not that I was ever taken in by TSF, but I just thought he was a conceited blowhard back in 2015. Back then, I didnt know a fraction of what I now know about malignant narcissism and a certain malignant narcissist who once defiled the halls of the White House and must never be allowed to do do again.
Acquiring that knowledge has been a very unpleasant process, but knowledge is power, so take that, you obnoxious orange weirdo!

(11,818 posts)Looking at the sources, the list requested by Trump in 2019 was of intelligence officials "at the federal governments top pay scale" and was believed to have been requested as part of Trump's search to replace the director of national intelligence with someone he felt he could trust. (per the source at the link you gave, https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-asks-for-list-of-top-intel-officials-amid-intelligence-shakeup ).
The casualties reported by the CIA in 2021 were of "foreign informants." It seems unlikely to me that significant numbers of foreign informants were being compensated "at the federal governments top pay scale" in 2019.
I would never assume Trump didn't do bad things, but the post you cite would be speculative even if the articles it cites said what it implies they said which they didn't.
