When will these people get it through their thick skulls that Trump is mentally incapable of having “allies”?

Donald Trump has fired Pam Bondi, the US attorney general, dismissing a loyalist who reshaped the justice department but still failed to please a president fixated on prosecuting political enemies and frustrated with the politically explosive release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social: “Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900. We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.”

The president added that Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, would serve as acting attorney general. Lee Zeldin, a former New York congressman who now leads the Environmental Protection Agency, is said to be a top contender to replace Bondi.

In a statement, Bondi said she was “thrilled” about “moving to an important private sector role”.

    At the risk of sounding conspiratorial: Are we sure this is not something the government planned? Why so secretive about this sudden private sector position and why would Trump care? Hopefully I’m wrong but I think this is the first time that Trump called someone, who apparently garnered his ire and anger, a friend or anything positive. Usually when it’s people that he doesn’t like (anymore) he calls them all kinds of derogatory things.
