Even before taking office as President of Argentina, Javier Milei turned me into a huge fan with his promise to de-bloat the government by explaining which ministries would be gone:
Wow! I might need a cigarette after that!
The U.S. desperately needs a leader like that before the otherwise inevitable bankruptcy collapse takes place. The Democrats are, of course, totally opposed to anybody who doesn't want to make the federal government even bigger and more powerful. They're even triggered by suggestions that if Trump wins in November he'll get rid of a few thousand government jobs (there are almost three million federal employees).
Trump wants to fire thousands of government workers. Liberals are preparing to fight back if he wins https://t.co/k0DtgeF3WL

Only thousands? This country needs somebody to go full Javier Milei on the federal government.
Can't wait for the "constitutional scholars" to explain why the executive can't fire any employees in the executive branch. https://t.co/wui2hSfQLY

I was glad I wasn't drinking anything when I ran across this section of the AP's article:

Trump “is already telegraphing plays straight out of the authoritarian playbook — gutting the civil service of people he deems disloyal and plotting revenge on his political enemies,” said Kevin Munoz, a spokesman for Biden’s campaign.
“There’s one way of stopping Trump’s dangerous and un-American plans: reelecting President Biden.” Still, Norm Eisen, who was chief ethics counselor to President Barack Obama, wants Biden to issue executive orders that could limit the use of the military domestically. Trump has talked about sending troops to the southern border or to Democrat-run cities dealing with rising crime rates.
Oh, man! That's rich. The people trying to throw Biden's likely opponent in prison are saying Trump is the authoritarian threat, all while claiming that a desire to shrink the size of government and make it less powerful is something a dictator would do. It's just incredible.
We are 34 trillion in debt

The government is bloated with corrupt people

The Left's claims about the Deep State send quite a mixed message.
Every single of these people needs to be fired.

No one elected them to anything.
If they are planning to undermine the agenda of the President, get rid of them immediately. https://t.co/AWPPzFEa5w
It sounds a lot like the "collusion" they used to like to accuse Trump of (and will again if he wins in November).
