    Because Trump and his handlers never intended to replace anyone. They just want to fire as many people as they can and shrink the government. These are true believers who really think, like the article’s author apparently, “that the federal bureaucracy was, and still is, in need of reform.” They honestly believe that most federal workers are lazy and not doing anything of value and the whole government should be downsized in the interest of profit efficiency.

    By the way, the author’s attitude really pisses me off a lot. Even ex-DOGE workers have since said they found very little fraud or waste to cut yet they still took a chainsaw to the federal workforce.

      Bingo. Trump is a fucking Russian intelligence asset. His goal is to destabilize the US, make us less important on the world stage, and increase The distrust among citizens of the US government.

      They didn’t do any of this to save money. If they gave a shit about saving money they wouldn’t have just approved giving 1.8 billion to ice.

      Trump’s goal is to hurt America and American citizens. And lo and behold after this tragedy what’s happening? A bunch of petty in fighting in finger pointing at everyone except the single root cause which is Donald Trump. Until he is executed publicly there will be no justice in America in America will be no more

      Just in case anyone is also curious the chainsaw is also an inspiration from the anarcho capitalist president of Argentina. DOGE is rooted in those libertarian/ancap views. They expect the market to somehow decided to fix its failures.
