Analysis: The DC plane crash highlights the flaws of Trump’s ‘government as a business’ playbook

CNN  

A version of this story appeared in CNN Business’ Nightcap newsletter. New York CNN — It’s one of the more obviously flawed ideas embraced by both President Donald Trump and his right-hand man Elon Musk: that government should be run like a business. On Day Three, all members of a crucial aviation safety committee received a memo, per the AP, saying that the Department of Homeland Security was terminating the group as part of its “commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security.” Day Seven, trillions in federal funding were frozen indefinitely. Day Eight, the US government did a carbon copy of Musk’s Twitter playbook when it emailed 2 million federal workers with an offer to resign — once again sparking confusion and panic. Russ Vought, Trump’s acting head of the Office of Management and Budget, has stated plainly in private speeches revealed by ProPublica last year that “we want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected.” “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.
