By my count, that's how many means-the-same words merriam-webster comes up with for the adjective vindictive.
I'd say they all apply to Donald Trump. Fresh from his victory lap in the East Room yesterday, Mr. Trump began exacting revenge on those who've spoken out against him. The man who reportedly claimed that he'd have the head of any Senator who ruled against him in his impeachment trial on a spike, today fired, and without prior notice had removed from the White House grounds, Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman.
Colonel Vindman's attorney had this to say. The truth has cost Alexander Vindman his job, his career, and his privacy. That truth also cost the Colonel's twin brother, another member of the Army, his job and career.
We've all come to expect guttersnipe behavior from the occupant of the Oval Office. The chasm between that and the actions of an honorable man like Colonel Vindman becomes more evident daily.
