'They're going to be brought down': Trump vows to go after Biden's advisers

Source: NBC News

Aug. 25, 2025, 2:21 PM EDT / Updated Aug. 25, 2025, 3:11 PM EDT


WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday said he would target former President Joe Biden's circle, calling them "evil people."

"There were some brilliant people," Trump said, referring to Biden's allies in his White House. "But they’re evil people, and they’re going to be brought down. They have to be brought down 'cause they really hurt our country."

Trump's threat to have his political opponent's allies "brought down" marks his latest move to potentially target political adversaries in a pattern that has alarmed critics who paint the president as pursuing retribution and say he is weaponizing the Justice Department — a claim the president has made about the Biden administration.

NBC News reached out to Biden's office for comment.

He’s in the “bargaining” stages with Dog over his mortality (Kubler-Ross) and he wants to throw in an addendum to bring along Biden’s associates?

Ermm, I don’t think they will be buying that at the Pearly Gates.

Better get back to Plan B and see if Little Marco can strike a deal with Putin.

and I tell everybody I know he is syphilitic. It explains a lot, and I don't care if it is true or not, because I believe it and many people say it is true!

in the bag, they will take over FOX News, and get rid of all the other media in the U.S.

It will become the newly branded "State Owned Media" no different than PRAVDA in Russia.......

When the Republicans are done, the Constitution will be vaporized, and for starters: No first amendment....Freedom of the press, etc

Just look at all the parts of the Constitution they are stripping away already.........

"Meanwhile, Trump's allies in Congress have pushed to hear testimony from Biden's circle about his mental acuity while in office, which Trump and Republicans claim was in decline but was covered up by the former president's team. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has sought testimony from Biden's former White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor and former White House aides, including his domestic policy adviser, Neera Tanden and his deputy chief of staff, Annie Tomasini."

The Republican Party, the party of Lincoln, the Grand Old Party of freedom and liberty will save us!

Unless they follow him mindlessly because they're actually the party of fascism and power no matter what.

One of those two things.

Would you hire a former Biden staffer knowing your company could get caught in a scandal? Or be subject to some of the nonsense being perpetrated against colleges and law firms? This is not just retribution of his “enemies.” It is playing with the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people whose names he does not know (and doesn’t care to know). Everyone is a pawn to him.
