Another example of Trump saying that he’s clueless about what’s going on in his government:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested he might have taken a different approach to slashing government than his one-time adviser Elon Musk.
“We could have done it differently,” the president said during a Cabinet meeting. “I would have done it differently, a little bit, maybe.”
Too bad he wasn’t in charge when it happened.
But it’s all moot now. This is the ballgame:
The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Tuesday for President Donald Trump‘s administration to resume its plans to carry out mass job cuts and the restructuring of agencies, elements of his campaign to downsize and reshape the federal government.
In Trump’s latest victory at the top U.S. judicial body, the justices lifted San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Susan Illston’s May 22 order that blocked large-scale federal layoffs called “reductions in force” affecting potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs, while litigation in the case proceeds…
The court, in a brief unsigned order on Tuesday, said Trump’s administration was “likely to succeed on its argument that the executive order” and a memorandum implementing his order were lawful. The court said it was not assessing the legality of any specific plans for layoffs at federal agencies.
He has free rein to decimate the federal government despite the fact that the agencies were created by congress. But as we’ve seen they are his top accomplices so what difference does it make?
Depressing…
