Trump’s Executive Branch: One Man’s Bureaucratic Wrestling Match

President Trump has treated America's institutions like his personal playground since February 2025, ousting Fed governor Lisa Cook—marking the first historic firing ever for a central banker—because why not? The DOJ is officially Trump-branded, with investigations into Democrats andOBama-era Deep State villains, run by cronies cosplaying as legal superheroes. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth canned the DIA chief over Iran strike scorekeeping fairytales. Over 20 inspectors general are now unemployed thanks to Trump’s purge, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ head. He’s also gatecrashing the Smithsonian over ā€˜anti-American’ photos of undocumented immigrants—because diversity in history apparently equals treason. Meanwhile, Stephen Miller calls the Democrats 'domestic extremists,' prepping a crackdown against them like a Bond villain Netflix special. Kush Desai insists Trump’s only crime is winning with 'historic achievements.' In totalitarian baseball terms, Trump’s swung hard, caught some bases, and is now throwing the rulebook out the White House window.
