They note, quite correctly, that he is in way over his head and doesn't have a clue what he is doing. Imagine how much worse this would be if he was smart? If he really was the Great Deal Maker? As much as he worries me, I'm beginning to think that he is going to turn out to be more bluster than anything else. IMO, as long as we stay vigilant and keep resisting, I think we will be ok.

Clearly, on the surface it appears he has not accomplished much of what he promised... and while that is a good thing in general......
It also creates a false sense of normalcy and distracts from the daily acts of deconstruction taking place...
when agencies and departments are not functional and basic standard processes cease to take place
The entire sequence of related activities are then either not initiated or not followed through with...
So regulations may still be in place... but have no value without enforcement and oversight and evaluation.....
You do not have to battle each agency / issue / law/ regulation individually nor confront each directly & publicly.....in order to eliminate them.
All you have to do is create an opportunity for the agency/dept to experience an extended period of uninterrupted dysfunction.... and it will die on its own... along with all of the regulations & laws & processes it once supported....

(17,003 posts)The damage to the EPA has me especially worried. When businesses are complaining about the lack of staffing there you know it's not good. He will definitely leave a huge mess to clean up. I'm hoping a lot of the EPA changes will get hamstrung in court at the state level.
