There is not much Donald Trump could ever do as president that will generate more resistance and hatred than bleeding out the fetid capital swamp.
And arguably, there is nothing he could ever do as president that would be better for the health of our Constitutional Republic.

Trump’s decision to select his staff from figures outside the establishment adds to the loathing so many in the political-media establishment have already directed toward him.
Various grifters, vipers, and unprincipled schemers from both parties have spent their adult lives seeking seats of power, comfort, and endless tenure in the capital.
Their vile attitudes and insufferable presence have become a drag on both our civic health and our economy.
To see the secretarial positions, directorships, administrator posts, and bureaucratic jobs they have for years lusted after filled by outsiders makes them angry.
But no one should feel sorry for them. In fact, many—if not all—must be removed as part of the draining of The Swamp.
In regard to the damage caused to our economy by those of the bureaucratic establishment, a research paper updated during the first year of Trump’s initial term measured the “cost per regulator” in the bureaucracy and reached some appalling and hardly believable conclusions about Washington’s impact on the private sector.
NOTE: Government regulators are government authorities responsible for controlling some area of human activity in a licensing and regulating capacity. They are paid and trusted to ensure an activity or process operates as it should and iaw applicable laws and regulations.
According to the authors (hardly believable):
[O]ne regulator costs the U.S. economy the equivalent of 138 private-sector jobs per year.
Below are a few more choice findings from the paper (also hardly believable):
– Each $1 million change in the regulatory budget is associated with a change of about four regulator jobs,
– A 10% cut in the regulatory budget results in a loss of 21,756 regulatory jobs,
– That same cut provides for an additional $1.2 trillion in GDP annually over the five-year window, or $244 billion annually, and
– Each regulator costs the U.S. economy $11 million annually.
The root cause is, of course, overregulation. President Trump must to continue the deregulatory agenda he promised during his first term, when he said he was committed to cutting the federal regulatory framework by 75%.
Naturally the Swamp creatures are bitterly opposed, as are the media, which have a thriving parasitic and symbiotic relationship with the administrative system.
The Washington Post, for example, darkly warns that the “most immediate impact” of Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency “could be to demoralize the federal workforce and increase attrition.”
Bingo!! Increase attrition of the bloated federal government cabal.
Further:
Budget experts say the [efficiency] effort could prove hugely disruptive to workers and businesses that rely on certainty in federal regulation and spending.
Translation:
Corporate rent seekers and industry moochers will have to compete, and competition is always the friend of the consumer—and the more heated it is, the greater the advantages for buyers.
Disrupting the federal regulation machine will also fuel investment and innovation, the keys to economic growth.
There is much for President Trump to do over the next four years, but outside of saving us from being overrun by our enemies from without and within, disrupting the federal regulation machine is the most important thing he can do.
