I think I have a hunch what Trump is going to do next.

He's going to fill these fired probationary workers with new loyal probationary workers hand picked by him.

He will then make these new probationary workers in charge of the agency.

If they don't do what he wants, they can be fired at will.

I disagree. He'll wait until things start breaking, use that as more reason that government isn't effective, and start selling the parts to new, different contractors.

I legitimately believe his reasoning is money and ego pumping. But mostly money.

This is basic disaster economics, but with a self-made disaster instead of a natural disaster.

  • I don't disagree, I think some disasters will be or are being made.

    However, he needs these groups to some extent to roll back regulations. He can't be assured existing people will play ball.

    So with hand picked cronies with no job security pushed to run the show over the ones with some job security he can push for deregulation.

    If disasters happen along the way he can blame Brandon er Biden, etc and sell a heroic fix for profits.
