Trump Surprised Government Can't be Run Like His Business

[Hindsight was 2020]

As I said before, Trump tries to run the government like he ran his business empire. And running a business is apparently a lot like running a dictatorship. This is also why he fails.

Citizens, journalists, judges, and congressmen aren't employees, so you can't treat them like employees. You also can't just fire them. You're not their boss, they're your boss.

However Civil Servants are employees. According to the constitution the executive is solely in the hands of the President and yet because of some rather dubious laws he only has the power to hire and fire about 2% of Federal Civil Servants. This is dubious because it limits his executive authority. The administration has reportedly been studying laws in place in places like Wisconsin that enable all civil servants to be fired at will and if he can expand that 2% to 100% that would be a good start.

Journalists. Trump has spent the best part of the last two years constantly hammering home the message that the liberal legacy media is untrustworthy, dishonest and should be disregarded by people. Looking at the polls that message is getting through as the percentage of Americans who say they trust the media continues to plummet.

Lawmakers and judges are more difficult but there are various ways that he can clips their wings. Breaking up the 9th circuit, expanding the number of judges on the two halves and only appointing conservatives to those vacancies would be a good start.

Yeah dictatorship
