We've had a chaotic 4 years. Partially due to Trump himself and his inability to simply not say what he is thinking out loud, but mostly due to the media and the leaks from the Deep State. I would love it if Trump concentrated on ripping the heart out of the Deep State over the next 4 years. He doesn't need Congress to do that. He's the CEO. The Constitution gives him a lot of leeway in how he runs the corporation of the US. He can't fire union workers but he sure can fire management. I'm pretty sure he can also disband departments or move them to the hinterlands. Wouldn't it be nice to get rid of the Department of Education? As long as he makes NO statements, public or private regarding his motivation, he won't give them ammunition to fire back at him. We already know that he can't even trust people who are close to him. No wonder, he is so dependent on his family.
1. Issue an order that security clearances will be revoked when employment ends. We've had huge issues with former CIA, DOJ, and FBI members pretending they actually know something when they don't. Revoking their clearance at least removes some level of credence to their statements. I don't think we need to make determinations on whether to allow anyone to retain his clearance. Everyone should lose his clearance, period. It will be a much easier sell. Trump can establish an expeditated restoration procedure should he need to consult with a former employee. Sadly, there's not much he can do to stifle members of Congress like Adam Schiff who utter blatant lies on public TV except put out a contract on them.
2. Replace Barr with an AG that has a stomach for prosecution. If people are not punished for their attempted coup, it will happen again and the next time, they may succeed.
3. Fire the head of the FBI on Nov 4th. Then try to prosecute him for sitting on Hunter's PC. At a minimum, you can get them for injury to a minor if the business about Hunter's niece becomes public.
4. Reprimand or worse if possible the Joint Chiefs for allowing former military leaders to incite sedition. They should have been prosecuted by the JAG using the Uniform Code of Justice but he sat back and allowed it to happen. What they did was unforgivable and extraordinarily dangerous to the country. So far our military has been good about staying out of politics. They broke the rules and the law. That can't stand.
5. Define firm rules for Federal elections. Such as your mail-in ballot must be received by noon on election day. It's not like elections are sprung on us unannounced. There is no excuse for not mailing your ballot in time for it to be delivered by election day. The constitution gives states great latitude in how they run elections but Trump might be able to set rules for Federal elections to prevent what is going on now. If the states don't want to use the same rules for their state and local elections, fine. Let them run their state and local elections on a different day or in different places.
6. Move any agency out of DC that doesn't actually need to be there. If they are in rented quarters, its easy. If not, it is more difficult but things can be done to consolidate space and move out what can be separated. This is Trump's strong suit. He can hire people from his old company to handle the details. Part of the problem with the Deep State is that they all live in the same neighborhoods and are friends. Moving departments to the hinterlands will reduce costs and spread the jobs around the country which is much better for the country than having them concentrated in DC. We've learned a hard lesson with the Wuhan Virus and that is that we don't actually all have to be in the same place at the same time. This is ultimately going to decimate the commercial Real Estate industry in large inner cities.
7. Defund the FBI. The FBI has lost all credibility. Cut the top three tiers of management or as far down as you can go. Give the remainder, the option to join the US Marshall's service or resign. Move all the training facilities and labs to the US Marshall's service. Make a big bonfire out of all the gear with FBI labels and watch it burn. If any single person from the FBI had come forward about the lies and plots, I would be more forgiving but the coverup was complete so they all have to pay. Hunter's laptop should have completely shut down the impeachment if the FBI had come forward with it.
8. Voice his support for the Convention Of States movement. Article V of the constitution offers two ways to amend the Constitution. So far ALL amendments have come through the Congress path. But since Congress thinks they are above the law, they are certainly not going to put forward any amendment that curtails their power or imposes term limits. Therefore, we need to employ Plan B (I think Madison got this added at the last minute). Plan B is if a simple majority of the states issue a bill calling for a COS, then one will be called. Once the convention is called, various amendments will be proposed and the final set will be put back to the states for approval. 2/3 of the states must approve any amendment in order for it to take effect. Same process as if Congress proposed the amendment. The time has come for term limits. They might have to be grandfathered in to get the amendment to pass but that is better than nothing. The term limits might also affect the Supreme Court and the Civil Service which will also disrupt the Deep State.
9. Seriously look into defunding the Department of Education. The standardization they were created to enforce did nothing except bring down the bar. We have dropped significantly in the world in our educational standing and given the amount of MY money we spend on it, we have failed.
