First day in office fire half the government workers in DC. Doesn’t matter where they come from, just slash em and send them packing.

Not quite sure that is legal. But there may be a way around it.

Term limits.

Would take a Constitutional Amendment (2/3rd of both houses + 3/4s of the states)

No trading of stocks while in office.

I believe Congress would have to pass this as a bill.

What can the President do by himself?

The machine is telling the people, not just Trump. Or any other POTUS.

Since the end of WW2, secrecy has been growing across all FedGov't biusness. It has been used to advance agendas for these agencies to grow and keep existing, gaining more unelected power.

For example, when some general "leaks" false reports to justify funding for example.

This has allowed corruption to grow and fester. At some point, we will need to cut off the limb to survive.

So, F-it. No more secrecy. Let it all out. Let us see everything. Then give everyone a few months to digest. And then talk about balancing the budget.

Everyone he legally has the power to fire he should fire immediately.
Then appoint totally loyal outsiders to all positions.

Can competence be part of that requirement or is "loyalty" all that matters? Joe Rogan? Joe Rogan would laugh at that idea and tell you he's not qualified to do shite but comedy and talk show host.

We’re just trying to go scorched earth on the swamp….not the entire country.

I'm not sure those aren't mutually exclusive requirements.

I know Vivek is not very popular here but he has gone into great detail about this exact topic. To be more specific, he went on Dave Smith’s podcast and cited statutes and laws that he would use to do it.

It’s anybody’s guess what his true intentions are, but he’s clearly a brilliant guy. At the very least, maybe his ideas could be of some use to trumps administration when is comes to tackling this monster

He had no idea how bad the swamp was.

Niether did you or anybody else know


His greatest accomplishment


Was exposing how bad the corruption and evil is in DC


And Trump has been sacrificing himself to save our country

Poor Trump, always the victim.

I think anyone with a brain knew how bad Lindsey, Ronna, McCarthy, & Bolton were.

He is literally being prosecuted for political reasons. That is the definition of victim. Let me guess your not a fascist, you’re super conservative, right?

He can blow everything up, which is what we want/expect him to do. The swamp can't stop that.

I'm not against of the idea of him trying to. It's only 4 years and you damn sure will not be any worse than what you already have in office. I want him to wreck DC and make folks in government uncomfortable. We need a overdue cleansing of DC.

New leadership at the FBI, CIA, NSA, & State Department. Purge the bureaucrats and strip security clearances from certain recent retirees and those he fires.

Yes. Just claiming it’s gonna get blown up with no details on how is quite silly.
