Just goes to show that you can be the wealthiest man in the world and still have no class. He's not right in the head.
I hate to say I told you so, but ...It took Hitler 53 days to dismantle the constitutional republic that was Weimar Germany. Trump hasn't been back in for 53 days yet.

This allowed DOGE to bypass traditional bureaucratic obstacles and immediately begin operations without requiring new legislation or congressional approval. The Origins: Obama’s 2014 Agency During the Obama administration in 2014, a lesser-known agency was created with a broad mandate to modernize government operations, streamline efficiencies, and reduce wasteful spending. The agency was originally positioned under the Executive Office of the President (EOP), meaning that it had direct ties to the White House but had minimal visibility or major operational impact. Key Features of the 2014 Agency: Already had a budget allocated from discretionary executive funds Came with regulatory authority over gov... less

“Well, he is a d**k,” Garcia responded. “I also think he is harming the American public in an enormous way. What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons against Elon Musk to this bar fight,” he continued. “This an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country.”

It's probably too soon to blame His Royal Orangeness for this, but deleting those people whose primary responsibility is air safety is NOT going to improve the situation.
