If you don’t realize the problem, you can’t solve it, much less confront it. [1]

DOGIE, with Trump’s permission and authority, is attempting to reduce the size of the federal government until it could be drowned in the bathtub. The stated task is to cut government waste, fraud and abuse by stopping the government from carrying out the acts that congress and past presidents have put into law. Unless there are lucrative government contracts heading for the accounts of the richest man in the world which seem to have protected status.
Is the government the problem or is it a government that is supposed too have three coequal branches the problem?
IF the Trump presidency wanted to actually have laws changed that would address his apparent goals, as defined in Project 2025 (the one he had know knowledge of) and the ones upon which the Christo-theocrats have based their blessings upon Trump to be the second coming, members of the Republican party (the one he took over) have control of both houses of congers and a significant portion of the federal judiciary so that any laws could be changed. Doing this would take time and require a lot of explanation but that is what the U.S. Constitution is set up to do.
If you think government waste, fraud and abuse is the problem, you would be wrong.
The real problem is the inefficiency of our democratic republic.
The strategy appears to be to turn it off, except as noted, the representative democracy and turn on an Imperial Presidency, also known as a one-man dictatorship.
Trump is not interested in governance. He is interested in his ability to rule everything possible.
The goal is the establishment of an emperor, not at more perfect union. Government reform is a smoke screen and distraction.
