Donald Trump (the perpetual victim) has always had a gift for projection. If he accuses you of something, odds are he’s already done it, is doing it, or is actively plotting to. Remember his endless, high-pitched wailing about Joe Biden “weaponizing the justice system” against him? He practically set a Guinness World Record for most consecutive days of victimhood. According to Donald, every indictment was a political hit job, every subpoena was “election interference,” and every courtroom was a gulag where Lady Justice herself was being frog-marched out the door.

Fast-forward to today, and what do we see? The Trump “Department of Justice” being wielded like a Louisville Slugger against anyone who dares blink in his direction without sufficient adoration. This morning, he even turned it on one of his own GOP loyalists, Jim Bolton. Yes, loyalty in Trump-world is a commodity with the shelf life of an avocado. One minute you’re his “warrior,” the next you’re in federal crosshairs wondering how your devotion ended with a subpoena.

And the Democrats? Forget it. Trump’s justice system is treating them like it’s open season. Forget bribery or corruption—if you’ve jaywalked, tweeted a criticism, or recycled your plastic in the wrong bin, congratulations: you’re now facing a federal probe. This isn’t law enforcement; this is political persecution dressed up in a red tie and doused in self-pitying hair spray.

What’s truly breathtaking is that Trump is doing this while still insisting he’s the victim. It’s like watching a burglar kick down your front door, ransack the place, and then call 911 to report you for breaking and entering. He has turned projection into a governing philosophy, and his base claps like trained seals every time he does it.

The hypocrisy is blinding. When Biden’s DOJ dared investigate Trump, it was “the end of democracy.” Now that Trump is openly criminalizing political opposition, suddenly it’s “justice served.” When Trump is the target, it’s tyranny. When Trump is the tyrant, it’s patriotism. The cognitive dissonance could power the entire Texas grid.

This isn’t just irony—it’s the full banana republic package, complete with gold-plated initials. He has taken the very accusations he hurled at Biden and stitched them into his own playbook. The justice system isn’t merely weaponized; it’s personalized, branded, and likely up for licensing at the next Trump rally.

Donald Trump screamed about Biden’s imaginary abuses of power while plotting to carry them out himself. Now he’s living that dream, and it isn’t pretty—it’s petty. If hypocrisy were an energy source, Donald wouldn’t just keep the lights on—he’d be exporting it by the barrel.
