'Our country is transforming before our eyes': The rise of the Revenge Presidency - Velshi - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff turned whistleblower in the first Trump administration, says even he’s surprised by the “breakneck pace” at which democracy is being dismantled in the name of revenge. Taylor says what worries him most is what Trump hasn’t done yet.

The founders warned about the dangers of revenge, and "here we are--we're living it,” says Taylor. Regardless of the truth behind the Justice Department’s accusations against Trump’s foes, Taylor stresses that’s not the point of Trump’s revenge spree: “The process is the punishment.” - Aired on 08/09/2025.

1. The second hour of Velshi was intense this morning. Great discussions w/ Miles Taylor and Lisa Rubin.

Velshi is on top of the take over. He calls it like it is.

2. Agree, he really is excellent. He's even able to quote from certain pages of Project 2025

He actually has gone out of his way to teach his viewers all about what's in it. We can learn so much from Velshi's lessons.

3. That's what worries me too, "what Trump hasn't done yet".

Terrifying times.

4. Agreed. Every time you think he can't possibly get worse, break norms and actual laws, he does

There are so many that it's gotten tough to keep track - and every one is shocking.
