7. Trump hates Bondi because she is an artifact of his weakness: he wanted Gaetz in the role

We should not forget that Trump began his second term transition with an absolute outrage: floating/ nominating Matt Gaetz as US Attorney General. He settled for Bondi because Gaetz was forced out due to his own sex scandals. But Trump actually wanted Gaetz, just like he wanted Hegseth and was thrilled that Hegseth pushed through his own scandals (he very likely drugged and raped a woman at a GOP event, let's not forget, in the midst of a drunken stupor, then paid her off).

Trump is constantly floating the idea of shitcanning Bondi because he despises her, and despises what she represents: his inability to get what he wanted in Matt Gaetz.
