"he warned his countrymen that their führer could well be a verführer, or misleader"

"Wir sehen das am Aktienkurs von Tesla, der empfindlich abgestürzt ist. Auch der Bondmarkt kommt in Betracht, wo es um die Wertpapiere des amerikanischen Staates geht. ... Und dann kommen die Zwischenwahlen 2026, wo die Demokraten auf eine Abstrafung der Republikaner hoffen."

Russel Vought -chief OMB:"We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said.... “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”

"By routinizing and standardizing procedures, it would remove individual judgment and, with it, arbitrary decisions or bias; bureaucrats would be loyal to their jobs, not to individuals or interest groups. The bureaucrat is supposed to be someone an oligarch cannot buy."
