Trumps plan to dismantle the Deep State

[floridafan]

In the wake of the recent launch of his 2024 campaign, Donald Trump has shared his plan to “shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people.” But in an op-ed for the conservative Washington Examiner this Wednesday, columnist Zachary Faria asks why Trump didn't do that during his first term as president.

Faria acknowledges that some of the issues Trump cites in his plan need to be addressed by the next Republican president. "And yet, whether or not Trump’s plan is good or bad is irrelevant. It is late," he writes.

Trump was president for four years. Trump and his allies were talking about the 'deep state' as early as March 2017, not even two months after he was inaugurated," Faria writes. "He was the head of the executive branch and could have come up with and implemented a plan to 'shatter the deep state' whenever he wished. And yet, it is only now, more than two years removed from office, that he wants to take up the fight."

As Faria points out, Trump's most loyal supporters will likely say that his plans to dismantle the deep state were obstructed by his opposing forces, but "if Trump was so weak that he couldn’t pull it off the first time, what is stopping them from obstructing him again?

"If the excuse is that 'RINO Republicans didn’t stand with him,' has anything happened to change that? Most of Trump’s chosen MAGA candidates lost, in case anyone has forgotten," Faria noted.

Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this month that Americans were "in an epic struggle to rescue our country from the people who hate it and want to absolutely destroy it."

American voters, Trump said, were tired of "entrenched political dynasties in both parties, rotten special interests, China-loving politicians" and supporters of "endless foreign wars.

"I will totally obliterate the deep state. I will fire the unelected bureaucrats and shadow forces who have weaponized our justice system. And I will put the people back in charge of this country again."

I hate Trump - but the fact is that bullshit Russian Collusion hoax made it very hard for him to even attempt to clean house

We have 3 branches - but you democrats will gaslight us and pretend the DOJ did not demand to be an independent entity and pretend you did not throw a temper tantrum for him firing Comey - even though he is under the Executive branch

Trump had 4 years to do something, but he did nothing. So why would another term be any different?
Sadly, his administration so greatly represented the deep state.
Comey was the best thing that ever happened to trump.

I already replied how that is not really true - the open investigation made it pretty much impossible to act . you shitstains were throwing a temper tantrum when he tried to use his constitutionally granted powers to clean house in the DOJ - and now you are gas lighting us that it didn't happen

Would almost certainly get him assassinated by Deep State.

MAGA isn't a candidate. Most of Trump supported candidates didn't lose.
I agree with Trump's plan. He SHOULD fire the unelected bureaucrats and 'shadow forces' that have weaponized our justice system. I would go even further:

Dismantle the EPA. It's unconstitutional.
Dismantle the NEA. it's unconstitutional.
Dismantle the Federal Reserve. It's unconstitutional.
Dismantle most of the FCC and most of the FAA. Much of what they do is unconstitutional.
Dismantle the CPSC. It's unconstitutional.
Wind down the Medicaid/Medicare and Social Security programs until they can be dismantled. They are unconstitutional.
Dismantle the BATF. It is unconstitutional. Move what little code enforcement it does to the States.

It is never too late to dismantle the Deep State. The longer it exists, the more damage is done.

Its just one pathetic excuse after another for trump failure.

He did quite a lot, and he learned who the worst in the Deep State are. He is in an excellent position to remove them.

The longer it exists the harder it is to take out. At this point it is not possible to do it till after America finishes the current collapse, which is going to be stunning.

He did nothing, but hire the best and then fire them. The deep state as you call it, was far worse when he left office after running the most corrupt administration in our history.

That remains to be seen. It is quite possible, however. Faith in the dollar is dropping fast.

No, they were hired by DEMOCRATS.
