For example, they don’t have 10% of the ICE agents necessary to find or deport the millions. No one wants to do that ‘shit’, as people around here say.

want to disturb that. he'll throw a couple meaningless ones out there just to say he did it.
the tax cuts for the rich, the deregulation, the gutting of the EPA, the mass deportations, the purging of career civil servants, the hollowing out of various departments, the corruption, the self-dealing, all of that is going to happen.

But Trump also is likely to turn much of the more senior career civil service posts into political appointees as well, to maximize patronage and intimidate existing officials with the threat of sacking if they try to follow the law or do their jobs rather than following his whims.
So we are going to maximize corruption and authoritarianism while minimizing competence and performance. Which is a pretty good encapsulation of Trump and Trumpism.
