  1. The chaos has always been the point. Despite what MAGAt’s tell themselves to sleep at night, there is zero waste, fraud, etc being cut with this approach. Rather, the intent is to traumatize the federal workforce so that career civil servants with federal protections will decide the stress isn’t worth it and quit. This would allow more sycophants and philistines to be installed, making it much easier for Trump and Musk to funnel as much money as they can to themselves i.e. the $400M Cybertruck contract or the $190M that the Trump family is reported as having made just in the month since he was inaugurated.
