A recent poll found that 42 percent of federal managers “intend to work against the [Donald Trump] administration.” To defeat this unconstitutional effort and deliver his promises, President Trump must return the bureaucracy to its constitutional role. That means firing en masse, repealing agency-initiated regulations, punishing lawlessness, and finding hundreds of thousands of trafficked children.
A 1984 Supreme Court decision enabled federal agencies to interpret legislation. This led to more regulations and turned unelected bureaucrats into a de facto fourth branch of government—AKA the Deep State—with unaccountable power.
The Deep State undermined Trump in his first term and was key to removing him in 2020. The Deep State violated the Constitution by working with big tech to censor information helpful to Trump and promote information harmful to him.
The Supreme Court in 2024 reversed the 1984 decision. Interpretation of statutes now rests with the judiciary. This permits Trump to reverse harmful regulations that have impeded productive activity and increased prices of goods and services.
Proponents of limited government will argue its practicality and conformity with the Constitution. Proponents of intrusive government will argue we need protection from unscrupulous businesspeople.
The big-government crowd needs to explain who will protect us from the unscrupulous people who wield government monopoly power. Joe Biden regime managers arrogantly believed they were above the law; they manipulated and deceived the public to remain in power. This led to disastrous criminality that Trump could expose to gain support for dismantling the Deep State.
