The Trump administration pattern seems to be:
if Trump doesn't understand current practice, that current practice is unnecessary.

Isn't that how Trump got U.S. into War with Iran? By unilaterally withdrawing the U.S. from the Obama administration 7 party JCPOA agreement?
So Trump is willing to consult, but mainly with his inner circle of yes-men.

Even under the leadership of an otherwise competent leader that would be perilous. But
under Trump ...

On a more somber plane:
While Trump critics self-righteously ridicule our presidential administrations limitless folly
important matters of economics, social welfare, and international diplomacy are displaced.

CERTAINLY Donald J. Trump is a buffoon.
Are his critics much better, for allowing his unending barrage of distractions to suppress legitimate news of the day?

$fine.

BUT !

That's an anecdote.
Chainsaw Musk cut more than this one program. SO !
We're one step forward, two steps back, on this one program. BUT !

Overall, have Musk asstronomics been a net benefit, or net detriment?

Too soon to know for certain, I suspect.

Trump originally said the renovation would cost $1.8m to repair and repaint the reflecting pool.
But the price has ballooned to nearly $15m, the federal contract shows.

Trump claims ‘vandals’ foiled his $14m revamp of DC’s reflecting pool. What actually happened?

Trump’s pre-Fourth of July renovation project has endured problems with algae, peeling paint and an inflating price tag

A more extensive detailing of this DC debacle is disclosed at the above The Guardian article.

In this case as in many others it's silly to attribute a single attitude or motive to a population of millions.

But identifying a few key elements correctly does not change the outcome.

If among former Trump voters Trump retains an approximate 1/3 approval rating,
perhaps they're intrinsic malcontents, and simply wanted change, whether or not it was an improvement.

The human mind is easily capable of muddled thought, which leads to absurd outcomes.
