The article discusses the swift and audacious executive actions of Trump's second administration, suggesting that his team, especially OMB director Russell Vought, is keen on amplifying presidential power. This unprecedented approach could stem from lessons learned during his first term. An unexpected element is Elon Musk, whose DOGE initiative appears chaotic yet strategically disruptive, aligning with the idea of 'move fast and break things'. However, there's concern about the potential backlash from this chaotic governance approach, prompting reflection among Trump's advisors on the political implications of such actions.
Various theories are kicking around to explain the speed and lack of caution surrounding the initial blizzard of executive actions in the second Trump administration.
Both Trump and Russell Vought, the OMB director... are very invested in a tremendous expansion of presidential powers at the expense of the legislative and judicial branches.
Musk is famously deploying the same shock-and-awe tactics he used in earlier corporate takeovers, based on the Silicon Valley motto of 'move fast and break things.'
At some point it must occur to the more thoughtful minds of Team Trump that the politics of this onslaught of chaotic activism is a bit backward.
