According to some reports, within the first
100 days, Trump will freeze hiring in various sectors of
government, and not replace employees who leave. It does not appear that this freeze will include military, and, public health and
safety personnel.
He has also said he will grow the size of the immigration
enforcement agency by several thousand.
All this can be done
without Congress’s approval through an executive order. Democrats are lining up to resist this move, but it does not appear that they have any power to actually prevent Trump from "reducing the size of government."
Both Reagan and Bill Clinton used this approach to shrink the size of government. In the end, the strategy did not work. but neither of these past presidents were Donald Trump. Will he know how to make this approach work? Only time will tell, but, at least, The Donald is going to try.
