@NewsDesk @Independent Only Congress can create a department or agency of the US government. The President doesn't have the authority to create or fund such an entity.

@Seilenos @NewsDesk @Independent He'll just officially call it something else, and advisory panel.

@NewsDesk This definitely won't end up abused with self-motivated decisions by the wealthiest lunatic in the history of the planet. Look at how efficiently he took over Twitter. We're going to have so much efficiency.

@NewsDesk @Independent The notion that government needs to be an efficient business is a disease that keeps infecting people who know nothing about government, people like Trump, Musk, and Ramaswamy.

Of the 3, Ramaswamy is the only one who hasn't constantly exhibited a boatload of personal emotional maladies. But, that might down to less visibility.
