TRUMP’S BIG MOVE: IT WASN’T BUNGLING. IT WASN’T 4D CHESS. IT WAS BEING FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO GET WHAT HE WANTED. As a week of intense tariff mania ends and a new period of negotiations begins, President Donald Trump has 1) started a trade war with China, imposing a 125% tariff on all imports from that […]
President Donald Trump’s call to reduce bureaucratic bloat through the Department of Government Efficiency and his recent executive order to dissolve the Department of Education and return power to the states resonate deeply with millions of people tired of rampant waste in Washington.

Reforming the so-called “deep state” of America’s intelligence and security apparatus constitutes an enthusiastic core objective for President Donald Trump’s second administration. But does Team Trump care to understand where to find the rot? On paper, MAGA’s commitment to ridding the Deep State of corruption is clear.
