    “To confront such weaponization and religious persecution, today I’m signing an executive order to make our Attorney General, who’s a great person — she’s going to be a great Attorney General — Pam Bondi the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti-Christian bias,” Trump said.

    I feel like Trump’s quote here from the article is even worse than the headline suggests.

    First is the use of the word eradicate rather than prosecute. It’s a much more dehumanizing tone, as if there a bunch of pests that need to be wiped out.

    And second, which is no surprise but is even more worrying, is how much praise he put on Bondi there. That means loyalty to a person rather than to a nation or constitution.
