Donald Trump may prove to be in a class of his own, and he appears more interested in beating the federal government into submission than recalibrating it.
The article from Republic World discusses how Donald Trump, as President-elect, began reshaping the U.S. federal government even before his official inauguration. Trump's approach included appointing individuals to key positions who were often seen as outsiders to Washington's political establishment, aiming to disrupt traditional bureaucratic norms. His selections for Cabinet and other high-level positions were frequently business leaders, military figures, or those with little to no government experience, reflecting his campaign promise to "drain the swamp." This strategy was intended to bring a business-like efficiency to government operations, reduce regulations, and shift policy directions significantly, particularly in areas like environmental protection, foreign policy, and economic regulations. The article highlights the controversy and debate surrounding these choices, with critics questioning the appointees' qualifications and potential conflicts of interest, while supporters praised the fresh perspective and outsider status of these nominees.
