What was it like to work under Donald Trump’s government? How did he run his office in the White House?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working under Donald Trump’s government was hardly a walk in the park. According to the anonymous author of A Warning<\/em>, a book into the behind-the-scenes of Trump’s administration, the president didn’t even know how the executive branch<\/a> worked and often gave orders to the wrong people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is an insider look at what it was like to work under Donald Trump’s government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Working Under Donald Trump’s Government<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the early days in the White House, Trump showed no interest in or ability to manage the daily functions of government. This continues to be a problem. He can\u2019t lead because he doesn\u2019t understand how the executive branch works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Departments and agencies are confused about what to do and who\u2019s in charge. Trump may tell the secretary of defense to do something that\u2019s the job of the secretary of state. He sometimes tells son-in-law Jared Kushner to do the jobs of multiple people. Policies aren\u2019t thought out or coordinated; issues are ignored until they reach a crisis point. With its haphazard processes, the administration is prone to violating laws, ethics, and normal procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some aides and supporters want to believe there\u2019s a method to Trump\u2019s madness, which will be revealed in time\u2014that \u201cit\u2019s part of his genius.\u201d<\/strong> Senior advisor and campaign holdover Stephen Miller encourages chaos as a deliberate strategy. For instance, early on, he urged that the White House \u201cflood the zone\u201d with as many policy pronouncements as possible, regardless of legality, to overwhelm Democrats. Top officials soon began trying to insulate their departments from Trump\u2019s mismanagement and inappropriate requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dumb, Impossible, or Illegal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Members of the Steady State have observed that the president\u2019s requests typically fall into one of three categories: dumb, impossible, or illegal.<\/strong> Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Dumb<\/strong>: Trump wanted to shut down the government because he was upset with congressional budget negotiations. However, it would mean losing Republican congressional seats in the midterm election, as public services and paychecks for federal employees stalled and dissatisfaction spread. Trump backed down, but resurrected the idea later.<\/li>
  • Impossible<\/strong>: In February 2018, Trump proposed arming teachers to end gun violence in schools. This was impractical because of the training that would be required, the cost of the guns, and the likelihood it would make the situation worse. Fortunately, no one jumped on board with the idea, so he dropped it.<\/li>
  • Illegal<\/strong>: Sometimes, Trump makes unlawful proposals because he doesn\u2019t understand federal law. For instance, he might order an agency to stop spending money on a particular program, which he can\u2019t do if Congress has approved the funds. Along that line, he\u2019s repeatedly tried to stop foreign aid to certain countries. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Proposals that are dumb, impossible, <\/strong>and<\/em><\/strong> illegal, often revolve around the issue of immigration, which Trump views as the greatest crisis in U.S. history. <\/strong>For example, he wanted to designate immigrants as \u201cenemy combatants\u201d\u2014the designation used for terrorists\u2014so the administration could keep them out of the country. He brought it up randomly, eliciting \u201cthose polite smiles reserved for a deranged relative.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When he didn\u2019t get pushback, Trump discussed shipping immigrants to Guantanamo Bay as a deterrent to trying to enter the U.S. Word got out and a career diplomat characterized it as \u201ccompletely batshit.\u201d Advisors told him it was too expensive because Trump sometimes found cost arguments persuasive. They managed to squelch the proposal, although there\u2019s never any guarantee a bad idea is gone for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some of Trump\u2019s worst ideas could have cost him his presidency if implemented. Yet the people working to protect him from this were the ones he ended up wanting to fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Donald Trump: An Advocate for Big Government<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Trump is a champion of big government, although he decries Democrats for having socialist views.<\/strong> In some ways, the government under Trump is even larger and more wasteful than it was in the previous Democratic administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Due to the 2011 Budget Control Act passed by Congressional Republicans, the deficit was shrinking under Obama. However, in a deal with Democrats, Trump discarded the act\u2019s spending limits. The deficit has risen each year of the Trump administration\u2014the government will soon be spending a trillion dollars more than it brings in. In addition, the U.S. debt (money we borrow from other countries) has reached another record. Trump proposed a record-high budget in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This profligacy betrays conservative principles and breaks Trump\u2019s promises of fiscal responsibility\u2014he pledged to eliminate the debt during his time in office, apparently just to lull conservatives into supporting him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He appears to be as unconcerned about bankrupting the country as he has been about driving his businesses into bankruptcy. According to sources, when a handful of conservatives cautioned him on the dangers of runaway spending, he answered, \u201cYeah, but I won\u2019t be here.\u201d Trump\u2019s love for grandiose things apparently includes a big federal government, when it can be used to enhance his power. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
