Yes, please.
Grind this into powder, hand me a mirror, and I'll do lines of it.

The plan:
1. Reissue the 2020 exec order on firing bureaucrats
2. Clean house in the national security/intel organizations
3. Reform the FISA courts (he'll need Congress and John Roberts for that)
4. Expose the abuses of power, and declassify broad swaths of stuff.
5. Crack down on disinformation leakers
6. IG offices will be independent from the agencies they oversee
7. Create an independent auditing agency aimed at ensuring Americans aren't being spied on by their own intel services
8. Relocate parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of DC. <--he'll need funding from Congress for that
9. Ban federal bureaucrats from working at companies they regulate (See the movie The Big Short
10. Term limits on Congress? That's a Constitutional amendment that he won't get.

Some Fantasy Island stuff, but on the whole, a great start. Establish that efficiency agency, too.

Hands Dope a $5 Trump mirror and sells him a Trump grinder for $100.

Fire away. How does a slew of people out of work affect the economy?

2. Clean house in the national security/intel organizations
Yaah, that's the ticket, just shut all that down and put Putin in charge.

3. Reform the FISA courts (he'll need Congress and John Roberts for that)
If you have an unreviewed secret process, review it every 7 years. Simple. Put Clarence in charge.

4. Expose the abuses of power, and declassify broad swaths of stuff.
Yeah, power abuse, declassify and have bread and circuses. Works.

5. Crack down on disinformation leakers
This is the guise for retribution carnage - just imprison them right next to the immigration deportation hell holes.

6. IG offices will be independent from the agencies they oversee
Let Musk Trump that up for ya.

7. Create an independent auditing agency aimed at ensuring Americans aren't being spied on by their own intel services
Put Heritage foundation in charge of that.


8. Relocate parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of DC. <--he'll need funding from Congress for that
Scrap build back better and use those funds.

9. Ban federal bureaucrats from working at companies they regulate (See the movie The Big Short
Aren't you going to include the revolving door?

10. Term limits on Congress? That's a Constitutional amendment that he won't get.
That might almost work.

Some Fantasy Island stuff, but on the whole, a great start. Establish that efficiency agency, too.
You're going to have an efficiency agency? Musk again?

9. Ban federal bureaucrats from working at companies they regulate

Certainly we cannot apply that rule to the Executive branch.

Trump can claim immunity as he regulates the DJT communications empire. Heck, he could make the ban all competition to DJT communications as subversive and become the official voice of America.

And what about Elon Muskovich? Maybe the ban can make exceptions for owners who regulate companies they founded or acquired? Or simply declare that the top 10% of billionaires are exempt from the ban. They can have Fed positions and work at the company they own/regulate.

1. Reissue the 2020 exec order on firing bureaucrats

Get rid of merit based hiring and promotion and bring back the good old spoils system. Lots of opportunities for corruption; perfect fit for Trump.

2. Clean house in the national security/intel organizations
Why? They are functioning quite well now. Trump will only screw this up. But he would rather not have intel looking over his shoulder; he needs freedom to act like a dictator.

4. Expose the abuses of power, and declassify broad swaths of stuff.
This made me LOL. Really? Trump does not want his grifting and corruption exposed. However, if he can use the DOJ to pursue those he has called his 'enemies' while having all his corruption shielded from view, then fine.

5. Crack down on disinformation leakers
Throttle legitimate news sources. Make the 1st Amendment apply only to RW media. Hell, he is already suing ABC. What other POTUS would do that? None.

8. Relocate parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of DC. <--he'll need funding from Congress for that
Put them where they can be more easily controlled by entities they are supposed to oversee.
