I believe Doge isn't about money, but shrinking government to limit its power, even against figures like Trump. But, if Trump is the head of the government, why would the government try to stop him? Because the bureaucracy should uphold the Constitution and prevent authoritarianism, holding everyone accountable and ensuring the government works for the people. Trump is shredding the Constitution, but we never said the bureaucracy should resist political leadership. We are saying that the President will put someone in charge who will contravene the constitution. This is what dictatorships do. The President is in charge of the military, as per the Constitution, which vests executive authority in the President. The idea of an independent military or a bureaucracy resisting political leadership is dangerous.

The other side is complaining that nobody voted for Elon or any of my cabinet nominees. They say people are dying because of budget cuts and even allege illegal activity. But frankly, I don't care. If they're complaining, we must be over the target and doing something right. We're simply trying to restore the will of the people through the President. What we've found is a vast, unelected federal bureaucracy that is against the President and the cabinet. In DC, it's 92% Kamala. How can we live in a democracy if the President's will, representing the people, isn't implemented? We're witnessing the bureaucracy thrashing as we try to restore democracy and the will of the people.

The term "unelected" used by Democrats is misleading. Donald Trump was elected in a landslide, and his staff, including the national security adviser and chief of staff, serve at his pleasure. They are implementing the agenda chosen by the American people. The real unelected power lies within the bureaucracy, such as USAID, the FBI, and the CIA, which have acted against Trump. President Trump is working to restore democracy by asserting control over the federal bureaucracy. He is the only individual elected by the entire nation to carry out the agenda that reflects the voters' wishes, while other officials are elected at local or state levels. Ultimately, the president is in charge of the federal executive branch.

A Democratic Party insider revealed extreme panic within the party regarding President Trump and Elon Musk's actions freezing USAID spending. This is described as a "killing blow" to the "deep state," impacting the Democrats' political influence and funding schemes. The insider stated that dismantling USAID is Trump's biggest political victory, crippling their "golden goose." Democrats plan to hide partisan funding under seemingly legitimate initiatives and utilize NGOs as intermediaries to circumvent oversight. To truly succeed, Trump and Musk need to completely shut down USAID or fire its staff, as the agency is overwhelmingly comprised of Democrats. The public outcry highlights the Democrats' concern about exposure of their spending. One Congressman even called for Musk's firing.

Many in the media failed to cover Joe Biden's mental state and misunderstand Elon Musk's role. A president, elected by all Americans, is unique. The Constitution vests executive power in this single president. They appoint staff to implement the democratic will. The real threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy of tenured civil servants who defy the will of the American people. For example, when Americans vote for FBI reform, or to end racist DEI policies, these bureaucrats resist change. President Trump is removing those defying democracy by not implementing lawful orders, which represent the will of the American people.

Today marks a troubling moment in America as we face a constitutional crisis. The actions of Trump and Elon Musk threaten the power of Congress, undermining taxpayer interests and essential services. The American people deserve representatives making decisions, not an unchecked executive. USAID is crucial for global health and security, and attempts to dismantle it jeopardize lives worldwide. The budget for USAID is minimal compared to the Pentagon's, yet its impact is significant. Eliminating USAID would weaken our national security and empower adversaries like Russia and China. Support for USAID is vital, especially in rebuilding infrastructure in Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict. We must fight to preserve this essential program for the safety and strength of our nation.

That picture of President Trump and Elon Musk in the Oval Office will be iconic when the story of Trump's second term is told. It depicts a remarkable event: the President justifying a large-scale attack on the federal government. The main criticism is the lack of accountability. Trump campaigned on reforming government and rooting out waste, but the methods—including Musk's involvement and mass firings—were unexpected. The actions haven't provided the detailed justification the American people deserve. Yalda rightly pointed out that if elected representatives can't carry out the will of the people, we don't have a democracy. Calling the bureaucracy an unconstitutional branch of government is inaccurate. However, Trump's actions are facing legal challenges, with judges objecting to actions such as mass firings at USAID and restricting access to the treasury payment system. The debate is ongoing, and Trump's team is relying on the legal system and public opinion.

Today marks a troubling moment in America as we face a constitutional crisis. The actions of Trump and his associates threaten to undermine the constitutional powers of the executive branch, jeopardizing essential services for the American people. Cutting civil servant positions does not save money; it means taxpayers are funding individuals who are not fulfilling their duties. We must ask ourselves if we want a single executive making decisions or our elected representatives in Washington. The importance of USAID cannot be overstated; it represents our soft power and fosters goodwill, unlike military actions that do not ensure our safety.

There are about 3 million federal government employees, but only 3,000 are appointed by the president, making it difficult to implement changes. Most of these employees operate independently, not accountable to elections or the president, which poses a significant challenge. Since Trump's election in 2016, elements of the administrative state have actively worked against him, using tactics like the Russiagate investigation to undermine his reform efforts. The key issue for Trump's potential second term is whether he can bring this bureaucracy under democratic control, aligning it with the will of the American people and the Constitution. Trump's goal is to restore democracy and counter the influence of this unelected government branch.

Elon Musk did not create USAID; that was established by the United States Congress for the American people. He also does not have the authority to dismantle it. We will prevent him from doing so. Although Musk may have gained control over certain financial systems, he does not control the money of the American people—that power lies with Congress under Article 1 of the Constitution. Just as the elected president cannot withhold public funds, there is no separate branch of government led by Elon Musk, and this distinction will become increasingly clear.

Today marks a troubling moment in America as we face a constitutional crisis. The actions of Trump and his allies threaten the power of Congress, undermining our democratic processes. The executive branch should not have sole authority over budget allocations; it's Congress that holds the power of the purse. Taxpayers are being shortchanged when civil servants are paid without providing necessary services. We must ask ourselves if we want an executive making all decisions or elected representatives shaping policies. I'm particularly concerned about USAID, which provided vital support during my childhood in a refugee camp. Its programs are essential for many globally and represent our soft power, fostering goodwill rather than relying solely on military presence for safety.

The Democrats complain that nobody voted for Elon or my cabinet nominees and claim people are dying because of budget cuts while also calling my actions illegal. Their reaction shows we must be over the target and doing something right. We're trying to restore the will of the people through the president. There's a vast, unelected federal bureaucracy implacably opposed to the president and the cabinet. Consider that DC voting is 92% for Kamala. If the president's will, representing the people, isn't implemented, then the will of the people isn't being implemented. We're not living in a democracy, but a bureaucracy. What you're seeing is the bureaucracy resisting as we try to restore democracy and the will of the people.

The administrative state is rapidly being dismantled, particularly in relation to President Trump. Before his inauguration, Norm Eisen's Democracy Playbook outlined strategies to counter Trump, labeling him an autocrat. This playbook emphasizes the role of USAID in funding independent media and civil society to resist Trump’s administration. The focus is on building international alliances and networks to oppose him, as they lack influence domestically. Recent actions have limited their ability to leak information and organize resistance, leading to a decline in their power. Marjorie Taylor Greene is proposing legislation to further dismantle these efforts, indicating a strong push from the White House to eliminate these resistance structures permanently.

USAID is a fraud and a slush fund for left-wing projects globally, with very little being put to good use. This occurs while denying funds to those who clearly need them, with only cents on the dollar reaching those in need. USAID was initially created for humanitarian purposes, but it has been captured by the military-industrial complex, becoming a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war. The US government, through USAID, has funded things like DEI initiatives in Serbia, gender surgeries worldwide, sex change surgeries in Guatemala, and social media influencers in Ukraine. USAID is using taxpayer dollars to fund opposition and subvert democracy in other countries. USAID and the CIA don't promote democracy; they are run by radical lunatics that we are working to remove. As an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this.

There are about 3 million federal government employees, with only 3,000 appointed by the president, making it difficult to manage them. These employees, who nominally report to the executive branch, cannot be fired by the president. This creates a situation where an unelected "fourth branch" of government operates independently, resisting reforms and attempts to hold them accountable. Since Trump's election in 2016, elements of this administrative state have actively worked against him, using tactics like the Russiagate investigation to undermine his presidency. The key issue for Trump's potential second term will be whether he can rein in this bureaucracy and restore democratic control, aligning with the intentions of the Constitution. Trump symbolizes a push for democracy against this entrenched bureaucracy.

Without a strong feedback loop between the people and their government, democracy loses its meaning. Bureaucratic rule undermines the power of elected officials—the president, the Senate, and the House—to represent the will of the people. If unelected bureaucrats make the decisions, we don't have a democracy; we have a bureaucracy. It's crucial to repair this feedback loop so that our elected representatives, not unelected bureaucrats, determine our nation's course. The public's chosen leaders in the presidency, House, and Senate must be the ultimate decision-makers.

Many of you failed to acknowledge Joe Biden's mental state and his role in leading the country. You also misunderstand how government works by saying Elon isn't elected. A president is elected by all Americans, unlike judges or members of Congress. The Constitution vests executive power in the president. This president appoints staff to carry out the democratic will. The real threat to democracy comes from unelected, tenured civil servants who ignore the will of the people. When Americans vote for change, like FBI reform or ending DEI, these bureaucrats resist. President Trump is removing those defying democracy by not implementing his lawful orders, which reflect the will of the American people.

Many in the media failed to cover Joe Biden's alleged mental incompetence and that he wasn't running the country. The idea that Elon isn't elected demonstrates a misunderstanding of how government works. A president is elected by the entire American people, unlike judges or members of congress. Article Two of the Constitution states that executive power is vested in a single president. This president appoints staff to impose that democratic will onto the government. The real threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants. They believe they answer to no one, can do whatever they want without consequence, and can set their own agenda regardless of how Americans vote.

USAID has been a slush fund for left-wing projects globally, including gender surgeries, DEI policies, and climate initiatives. Billions of dollars funded NGOs, which infiltrated corporations and the public sector. This fueled resettlement of illegal immigrants, promoted equity policies, and advanced radical gender agendas. This massive left-wing power structure, including the media, wasn't organic; it was taxpayer-funded. The outcry against President Trump's cuts to USAID funding stems from this. He's cutting off the funding to organizations that harm America.

USAID has been accused of acting as a covert operations division for U.S. foreign policy, often engaging in activities that resemble those previously conducted by the CIA. This includes funding opposition groups in countries like Bangladesh, where they supported specific demographics to destabilize governments. Both Democrats and internationalist Republicans benefit from USAID, complicating efforts to shut it down. Past presidents, including Biden and Obama, have been implicated in this corruption, with connections to organizations funded by USAID. The Trump administration's foreign policy challenged this system, leading to significant pushback, including legal actions against Trump. USAID's influence extends across various sectors, including media and academia, raising concerns about accountability and transparency in U.S. foreign aid.

Many of you failed to acknowledge Joe Biden's mental state and questioned Elon Musk's authority, revealing a misunderstanding of government. The President, elected by the entire nation, embodies the will of the American people. He appoints staff to implement this democratic will throughout the government. The real threat to democracy comes from unelected, tenured bureaucrats who disregard the people's vote. They resist change, whether it's FBI reform, energy policies, or ending DEI, undermining the democratic process. President Trump is removing these officials who defy democracy by not implementing his lawful orders, which represent the will of the American people.

The speaker claims Joe Biden is mentally incompetent and not running the country. They state that a president is elected by the whole American people, unlike judges or members of congress. According to the vesting clause, the executive power is vested in the president. The speaker believes the existential threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants who defy the will of the American people. They allege these bureaucrats believe they answer to no one and can do whatever they want without consequence, setting their own agenda regardless of how Americans vote. The speaker asserts that President Trump is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders, which represent the will of the whole American people.

President Trump's actions, including auditing USAID and giving Elon Musk access to treasury records, are not a constitutional crisis. He has the authority to oversee executive branch agencies. While concerns exist about the impact of USAID's closure on global health initiatives, the agency's history of potential misuse and inefficiency warrants scrutiny. Democrats' opposition seems counterintuitive, given their past support for government reform. Public opinion polls show high approval for Trump and disapproval for the Democratic party and the media's anti-Trump bias is harming their credibility. The public overwhelmingly supports government reform and cutting foreign aid, suggesting Democrats’ opposition is self-destructive.

USAID, initially created by Kennedy, has become a front for a far-left agenda, marked by wasteful spending and anti-American priorities. Democrats show no concern over this misuse of funds, which makes me believe there is an attempt to conceal the corruption. Trump's attempt to pause this spending was met with cries of a constitutional crisis. Many USAID programs undermine diplomatic relationships by pushing woke ideology, as seen with PEPFAR, where the Biden administration jeopardized lives by imposing abortion agendas on African nations. Those complicit in this betrayal should be fired. Also, it's false that Elon Musk, who has a top-secret clearance for his work with NASA, has access to personal data. Finally, it's offensive to dismiss the capabilities of young people serving our country. Their service matters and should be respected.

Democrats face challenges as Trump and Musk threaten government funding sources that have supported them for decades, which could lead to the collapse of their coalition. A large part of the Democratic party holds secular religious beliefs, such as transgenderism, open borders, and the idea that America is not unique. They believe it's good to have millions of people enter the country, and that work requirements are inherently bad. Congress has a duty called oversight, and there were senators and congress people that were asking USAID, for example, and other departments for an accounting of their money. They would get back nebulous, obscure, obtuse answers, which tells me that the Democrats knew what they were doing. They knew the American people would not want their money spent this way, but they did it anyway. Trump is described as using a "sledgehammer" to attack the establishment, unlike Reagan, and the American people will support him when they realize how bad the situation is.
