Last time Trump tried to dismantle an agency he failed. [View all]

Trump promises to wreck the federal government by dismantling entire agencies like EPA, Justice, etc. He tried it in 2019 and it did not go well for him. He targeted Job Corps, a small program with a poor record and bad management. It should have been easy to privatize or close 26 centers run by the Forest Service, but Trump couldn't do it. He is vicious, but he is inept.
