I don’t care about Trump political affiliation. I hope he succeeds in draining the swamp and eliminating usaid and fema and department of education etc
Trump is very practical. IMO that's a key to his success. I don't think most people care about capital P politics. By that I mean ideology or purity. That should be obvious and that's why so many libertarians fail in persuading people.

To be clear... I don't care about Trump's affiliation and I love seeing the deep state exposed. I'm not naive though. He's not trying to destroy the state. I'd bet money he's made deals with the MIC and is gonna do plenty of terrible things, but for all the fear mongering about Trump he was no where as deadly of a leader as those before and after him. He was a threat so they make him out to be Hitler. He's not even close. I'm enjoying this season of Trump. Its entertaining.
To be clear though. USAID is not being eliminated. Its being rolled into the state dept. Its clear that Trump's team is MUCH smarter than the Washington establishment assumed. The methods they are using are surprising. They really aren't using the system to fight the system. Its fascinating.
I don't think they are really trying to drain the "swap" though. Just remove certain aspects they don't like. Its a start.

Edit:
Drain the swamp by reducing payroll. Federal employees are more deleterious than actual policies.
Trump needs to fire most if not all the 20 million contractors working for the federal government and agencies such as USAID.
Contractors don’t have the same union protection as 3 million full time federal employees.
Fire the ones who refuse to come to the office.
I’m waiting for a judge to rule that remote work is protected under collective bargaining.
Federal unions were created by executive order, JFK.
Trump should revoke that executive order
