Wingnut...
Hope he learned from his 1st term who not to pick.
I think your hope might fall into the category of wishful thinking.
First, his propensity to pick military folks. He should pick folks that were purged by Obama when he purged 4,500 senior officers from the military and forget about anyone that progressed while Obama was POTUS.
2nd, courtesy Barrack Obama, an entire industry was destroyed when he took office, that being the boutique management consulting industry. I am not talking about the 2-3 super large accounting/consulting companies, that are good at making flowery recommendations but clueless how to implement ANYTHING, I am talking about 1,000 - 1,500 folks in the boutique management consulting industry that were left largely unemployed. These are people that could step in and run and direct anything, regardless of what they do. And along the line of putting Elon Mush in to reduce government, the management consulting people I am talking about are 90% conservative, and would come in and reduce government by something greater than 50%, while increasing output probably by a like number from what it is today.
These are the people that did go in and fix corporations from the moronic decisions they made over a period of time, and could easily do the same for the federal government. I know for fact we have 3 or 4 people doing the work for one in a number of branches of government, including branches you would think do not need reductions in force.
Trump wins, he should implement a hiring freeze immediately, including current posted positions. All positions that get vacated over the next four years are NOT automatically replaced. Until the area goes through an assessment of resources actually needed, projects that are actually needed or justified, no position gets replaced. PERIOD!!!
I worked in that industry, was on a project at a steel company, and when Obama was elected in November, 2008, by the end of that month, the steel company lost 90% of their business. And this happened all across America, and hardly a word was spoken, because it would have been construed as racism to say anything negative against the black POTUS, but the fact remains, this country has NOT recovered since Obama's presidency. I had hopes it would when Trump became POTUS, but it did not!!! Four years of the Biden Idiocracy, and their bragging that manufacturing has increased in the USA, I say bullsh*t on that notion. Total lie!!! I trust nothing the Biden/Harris Idiocracy is saying.
It was only months ago they adjusted the number for employed downward by 800,000. That is NOT a small mistake!!! Or coverup!!!
Without conservative, highly knowledgeable folks to step in and support Trump, he will get steamrolled again by Bush pawns out to screw him over. If he learned anything, he would not use a single person from the days of George Bush. Not one!!!
I wish I had the ear of Musk, because these folks from the boutique management consulting industry, could step in and run every government agency, bureau, etc, and implement cost cutting, process improvement practices in a very short period of time. I am talking about saving many billions in spending from the current budgets, actually reducing government by a huge dollar number, and increase productivity beyond the imagination.
