5. By purging the government of expertise

And eliminating departments - their functions have to be assumed by someone else. So, basically he is doing a fire-sale of the government and people like Musk will get the Contracts to provide those services.

The Oligarchs are buying America - the National Parks, Education, etc.

As far as the Intelligence Services (via the people he put in charge), the Military etc., he is just doing Putin’s doing. I am amazed that the Congress is not shitting blood over the number of Russian contacts / assets that are in the proposed Trump Cabinet.

If he is not able to put the American Military in the streets to control the population (none would be necessary in the Red States) I wouldn’t be surprised if he requested Russian Military to perform the task.

I can’t believe the stupidity /ignorance of the people that voted for him and those that chose not to vote.
