Overall, it privatizes a lot, cuts, & consolidates power.

Under the Plan, the govt sells off the US Postal Service, FAA, eliminates more than a 1/3rd of the US Public Health Corps, restructures all foreign aid & development programs, and places every single domestic program for poor families & children under a single welfare authority.
The Plan also offers a real estate bonanza for developers, selling off federal properties en masse. And it cuts or restructures all the fedl progs that are meant to educate people about their financial rights & protect them from bank & mortgage fraud.
The #Trump plan cuts R&D @NASA and all forms of alternative energy development are consolidated under a single DOE agency. A Dept of Welfare is created, and all forms of support for health of America's poor leave @HHS & go to new Welfare authority.
The Plan facilitates "streamlined" privatization of federal assets via a Customer Experience (CX) Improvement Capability.
It transfers all background/conflicts checks on fedl appointees and employees AWAY from @FBI and into the Dept. of Defense.

American's will be the world's new refugees fleeing their country, passports in hand & a carry on. .
Where will we be welcomed?
Predict a mass exodus to somewhere..
IF this 'reorganization' happens, this country and a huge number of people are FUBAR. The poor, babies, growing children and seniors hurt the most and a lot will be starved to death and denied medical care, I imagine. The RW NPAaka GOP hates the poor and their "entitlements". Did I mention I worked 50+ years for my "entitlements"? Vets will be hurt as these evil fucks dismembers and sells off the VA. All the monies derived from this 'reorganization' will go straight into some predatory capitalist's pockets. No doubts. This is what putin and the deplorable trump base/constituency has wrought for all decent americans.
The Executive Branch has little say over that outside of internal, existing departmental reorgs.

Every word!
If this comes to pass, our country won't even be recognisable anymore. This is a fucking horror show.
Seriously, Mr. Mueller? You HAVE to shift gears sir. (while there's still anything left to save)
VOTE!! If you're not registered to vote, do it today!
Find a candidate/candidates to support. Send money if you can.
for the rich. Call it Paul Ryan's parting f*ck you gift.
After that's done, they'll go after privatizing Social Security, forcing people to invest in administration-approved stocks which have no guarantee of increasing in value and whose price swings are subject to random comments made by the most psychotic president in the history of the United States.
The thing is, the Deplorables will yell and cheer for these changes, which will only hurt them, their children and their grandchildren. #MAGA
If Drump and his minions are able to accomplish this radical remake of the U.S. government to favor the rich and hurt the middle class and poor, the question becomes: what are they going to do next? We already know they want to suppress the vote until the Dems will never be able to hold a single Congressional or state seat ever again, want to annihilate the Voting Rights Act (which they've gotten a good start on, thanks to Scalia, may his soul rest in hell), privatize all public lands -- including the national parks -- and eliminate all clean air and water regulations. The administration has a fantasy about regulating the print, broadcast and internet media, and is well on its way to making it impossible for new watchdog news websites to take hold on the internet because of the end of net neutrality. They'll definitely throw red meat at their evangelical base -- mandatory Christian prayer in school, elimination of teaching evolution, turning churches into Super PACs where unlimited tax deductible donations can be made to support candidates (nearly always right wing). Gay marriage will once again be illegal, gays and transgender people will be kicked from the military. The few remaining restrictions on guns will be eliminated. FDA regulations will be curtailed and eliminated. The Space Force will result in a globe circled with nuclear tipped missiles with the ability to strike a target in seconds and not minutes (right now it takes 20+ minutes from launch detection until impact). The Emoluments clause of the Constitution will be gutted even more than it is now.
Christianity will be declared the official religion of the U.S., and English will be declared the official language. We will have "language police" as they do in Quebec and France. The alt-right, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis will continue to crawl out from under their rocks, and some will be elected to positions of responsibility.
All immigration -- except for the "right people", as defined by Trump -- will be eliminated. We will become the most isolated country in the world, with only our BFF Israel left as a friend. Of course, Putin will still call the shots.
These are only the things they have said they want to do, or are already doing. My question is, if they accomplish all their goals, what new hell will they dream up next?
Question re: USPS -- I thought it was already a private entity, and its biggest problem is one the Republican Congress created for it, which is to require it to have available an account with 70 years of retirement funds, an amount not required by any other agency. Absent that, it's the only profit-making entity in the federal government.
Elections matter, and to those who stayed home or voted third party in 2016, thanks in advance for the world you are creating. Just to remind everybody of Jill Stein's role in this mess:
Hillary warned us about every single atrocity Trump was going to accomplish, but her emails...
Sorry for the early morning rant. I'm still enraged about the babies and kids in Trump's concentration camps, and I haven't had my coffee yet.
Oh, one last thing: Once he gets this year's "Parade for My Ego," Donnie Two Scoops will want a bigger one next year, and an even bigger one the year after that. Just FYI.
Excellent post.
As others have said, this is their dream scenario and they've had many years in darkness to develop it via Heritage, ALEC, Chamber of Commerce and other right-wing orgs funded by Koch, Mercers, Adelson, et al.
In my view this should not have the presidential seal on it, but instead the logos of all right-wing orgs that developed it.
This thing is very complex and we need strong voices to counter it bit-by-bit and obviously need control of Congress.
GOTV and our checkbooks!!.......
