When he wakes up, the first thing that goes through his mind, he says, is “business. Everything’s business.
Now, it’s political business."
In less than three weeks, he has shaken up America and the world with nonstop activity.
He’s signed 500 executive actions, held meetings at the White House with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, and has spoken to dozens of world leaders and US politicians.
“We have a country to save,” his chief of staff Susie Wiles tells supporters when explaining the breakneck pace.
After cutting a swath through USAID — “I think we should close it down and let it be run by the State Department,” Trump said — the president gave Musk permission Friday to add an extra 45 staff to his team, recruited from his various tech businesses.
Next they will tackle the Pentagon, and other agencies, including potentially the FBI and CIA.
“It’s the greatest thing that’s happened to this country in many years,” Trump told the Post.
“They’re finding all the waste and fraud and corruption that nobody thought anybody would ever look for.”
Of federal spending, he said, “I thought it was corrupt. I have a feel for that stuff. My nose told me it was corrupt. Nobody else had any idea it was that corrupt. Think about it. Out of 100 items that we looked at, 98 were bad. Normally it’s the other way: 98 are good and you find two bad. They’re all bad. Horrible.”
