LItt morsomt at folk som vil ha en autokrat som leder, og som heier på Trump, fornekter at Trump har ambisjoner om å være enehersker, når Trump selv har gjort det veldig klart. Han har vist at han ikke respekterer presidenteden, han har oppfordret til opprør (Å, unnskyld, turistomvisning i Kongressen var det visst), og han skal hogge hodet av føderasjonen, i sin "war on the Deep State".
Nå må folk faen meg skjerpe seg. Enten heier de på Trump, utvetydig, og aksepterer hva mannen sier, eller så kan de holde kjeft. Å komme hit, som Roald og GB, og påstå at mannen ikke har sagt det han i klartekst lirer av seg, er faktisk feigt. Ta dere sammen, grow a pair og stå rett i rekkene. Om Trump fikk oversatt hva dere skriver her ville han ledd av dere og kalt dere illojale kujoner.
Dere må stå for hva dere vil ha.
At one campaign rally after another, former President Donald Trump whips his supporters into raucous cheers with a promise of what’s to come if he’s given another term in office: “We will demolish the deep state.”
In essence, it’s a declaration of war on the federal government—a vow to transform its size and scope and make it more beholden to Trump’s whims and worldview.
The former president’s statements, policy blueprints laid out by top officials in his first administration and interviews with allies show that Trump is poised to double down in a second term on executive orders that faltered, or those he was blocked from carrying out the first time around.
Trump seeks to sweep away civil service protections that have been in place for more than 140 years. He has said he’d make “every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States” at will. Even though more than 85 percent of federal employees already work outside the DC area, Trump says he would “drain the swamp” and move as many as 100,000 positions out of Washington. His plans would eliminate or dismantle entire departments.
A close look at his prior, fitful efforts shows how, in another term, Trump’s initiatives could debilitate large swaths of the federal government.

“It’s a real threat to democracy,” Donald Moynihan, a professor of public policy at Georgetown University, told CNN. “This is something every citizen should be deeply aware of and worried about because it threatens their fundamental rights.”
Moynihan said making vast numbers of jobs subject to appointment based on political affiliation would amount to “absolutely the biggest change in the American public sector” since a merit-based civil service was created in 1883.
One of the architects of that plan for a Trump second term said as much in a video last year for the Heritage Foundation. “It’s going to be groundbreaking,” said Russell Vought, who served as the director of the Office of Management and Budget under Trump. He declined interview requests from CNN. But in the video, he spoke at length about the plan to crush what he called “the woke and the weaponized bureaucracy.” Vought discussed dismantling or remaking the Department of Justice, the FBI and the Environmental Protection Agency, among others.
