Why does Trump even want to be president when he’s just tearing everything about our government down? DOGE comes along and fires thousands of employees, Russ Vought comes around and fires 4000 more, hoping to keep firing. Trump shuts down any help for states that didn’t vote for him. He tears down part of the White House. The only thing that’s doing well under him is ICE, which got a huge increase in their budget. Does he want to be president so he can destroy our government?
Trump wants to absorb the powers of both the judicial and legislative branches into the executive, thus negating a key part of the Constitution.
Trump’s tariffs are decimating many small businesses, from farmers to bourbon producers. Some may never recover.
Make America Great Again refers to around 1901, when corporations held huge power over the country and the government was weak. This is what Trump wants; let the oligarchs do what they want and keep any potential trouble source for them at bay. And how will that work out for you?
"I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.” [Grover Norquist, Republican operative, 2004]
“Because we are draining the swamp. It’s very simple.” [Trump at Congressional speech, 3/4/25]
“We want to be very aggressive where we can be in shuttering the bureaucracy — not just the funding, but the bureaucracy — and we now have an opportunity to do that,” [Russ Vought, White House Office of Management and Budget Director, 10/15/25]
