Trump is beholden to public support. Trump empowers EM. If EM loses public support and voters make their will known, the behavior will end.

What is happening in DC (currently) has broad public support.

Things have been moving quite quickly, so this seems like a premature judgement. Can you cite a survey that shows that levels of support for disbanding USAID, for example; or taking over the treasury system; or "deleting" DirectFile?

I am responding to a specific comment about public support. Besides surveys, what method would you suggest for accurately determining public support for particular policies? And leave your self-satisfied partisan snark out of it.

After the election he’s not. Only has to appease a handful of congress critters and a few wealthy people.
