The article discusses the anticipated dynamics of a potential second Trump administration, focusing on his significant control over the Republican Party and the radical policy goals that may be pursued. It highlights the alarming choice of personnel for federal agencies, particularly Kristi Noem's comments regarding the Department of Government Efficiency, which suggest a shift towards treating government agencies as tools for aggressively pursuing specific agendas rather than prioritizing effective governance. This trend raises concerns about the implications for policy and legality within the administration's framework.
"Well, we can't trust our government anymore," Noem told CNN's Dana Bash in defending DOGE's access to the data system.
"Perhaps the least surprising token of total surrender to the more radical impulses Trump is displaying is that the people he is putting in charge of federal agencies are treating their new fiefdoms like enemy territory to be plundered and pillaged rather than as platforms for good government."
