Talk about doublespeak, given the recent Supreme Court decision to make the president essentially immune from criminal prosecution. The Trump administration's stated goals and policies could not be further removed from the ideals of small government and limited executive power.
I'm quite sure the "sharpest technical and legal minds in America" have better things to do than help these clowns, but I'm also sure they're not actually the targets of recruitment here.
Unelected toadies will jostle for the opportunity to call each other “inefficient” or “unable to share Trump’s vision”. With algorithms deciding how that opportunity fits into attention slots.
The efficiency cuts they are talking about will barely make a dent while making services worse for everyone. Good luck next time a disaster area needs FEMA assistance.
And not unlike a business when you have a deficit you have two options: cut cost and increase revenues, this incoming government will very likely decrease revenues through tax cuts, making the deficit even worse.

(and claiming "decisively elected Donald Trump with a mandate for sweeping change" when it was 74M to 76M votes is a bit silly)
Objectively, of course, you're right.
