The article examines how Donald Trump's second administration is characterized by a nihilistic and destructive rage directed toward a specific societal class known as the professional managerial class (PMC). While Trump's grievances revolve around those who challenged him politically and legally, the broader pattern reveals that his actions target cognitive elites like lawyers, academics, and journalists, suggesting a systematic attempt to undermine their societal standing. This phenomenon is characterized as a personal vendetta, indicating a deeper socio-political agenda that transcends mere political rivalry.
The target of the administration's campaign is a stratum of society that's sometimes called the professional managerial class, or the PMC, although there's not one universal moniker that MAGA applies to the group it is now crushing.
Trump's determination to settle scores with many individuals and institutions that thwarted him as president suggests that the rage unleashed is profoundly personal, aimed at broader societal groups.
