Consolidation of Power Tactics

The Trump administration employs various tactics to consolidate power, notably creating chaos in governance while pursuing a strategic agenda. This approach includes overwhelming federal employees and agencies through executive orders and communications that mimic effective corporate strategies. For instance, the recent email sent to federal employees about an opportunity to accept buyouts leveraged language reminiscent of Elon Musk's communication style at Twitter, illustrating a blend of corporate doublespeak and political maneuvering. David Graham notes that while this chaos can appear random, it often serves a calculated plan aimed at reshaping government functions and authority.
