Indeed, one of the great oddities of the 2024 race for the GOP nomination is that Trump isn’t just concerned about taking on his intra-party rivals, he also has to take on high-profile and high-ranking officials from his White House team who clearly hold him in low regard.
Earlier this month, for example, the Republican lashed out at Kayleigh McEnany, his former White House press secretary. If the message was intended to intimidate former Trump administration officials into submission, it didn’t work: The former president soon faced new criticisms from, among others, former Attorney General Bill Barr, former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton, and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
Outraged by their insolence, Trump condemned Kelly and released a profane video on Friday, viciously attacking Barr, Bolton, and others he’d put in key positions.
