  "textContent": "Donald Trump’s White House is posting about President’s Day in the creepiest way possible.\n\nIn honor of the holiday, the White House Monday posted a menacing picture of Trump accompanied by the quote: “I was the hunted, and now I’m the hunter.”\n\nThat particular cliche comes from an unwieldy interview with NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich last month, where Trump offered a strange description of the difference between his first and second terms in office. “In a way, I was the hunted, and now I’m more of the hunter,” Trump said.\n\nThe president went on to claim he’d been “hunted by these horrible people,” and openly bragged about getting revenge on his perceived political enemies.\n\nRevenge is a major part of the grievance-fueled Trump presidency. The president reportedly holds daily meetings with Department of Justice staffers to discuss his ongoing plots against individuals like former Special Counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. However, publicly announcing one’s intention to seek revenge is actually very bad for winning court cases.\n\nThe White House’s declaration that Trump has transformed into a “hunter” comes as his administration has resoundingly failed to go after any of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators. It’s not so much that they’re missing shots but that they’re refusing to take any.\n\nBut if you ask some women, Trump was always a predator—and the White House knows it too.",
