His supporters are caught up in the headlines of having support from RFK Jr, Tulsi, Muskrat, Thiel etc.

It’s one thing for Elon to fire 5,000 Xitter employees - firing 500,000 public servants is a very different story.

It doesn’t matter what they do, how effectively, nor how ineffectively.

The market can’t absorb 500,000 bureaucrats let alone 2,000,000 as it would probably need to.

So if you can’t occupy those who you’re going to displace you’d better have a plan to get them out of your country and Trump simply doesn’t. Without a plan they’re going to undermine your every move which is an impossible counterforce to deal with for what he wants to achieve.

Unless the firings come with a one-way ticket to Aus/Antarctica/Tasmania then you’re just inviting the same people back into the system.

He doesn’t have the guts to do what is needed. Trump will be at best, a false dawn.
