I'm not afraid of Trump's competence. I'm afraid of Trump's cult of personality and the competent people that are now handling him. We didn't elect Trump, we elected Project 2025.

Handling is a somewhat strong word here though. For better and worse, he's very impulsive and egotistically sensitive. His last administration left a huge wake of people that haven't been rehired and likely won't be.

Even if we assume his new lackeys care enough about the Heritage Foundation to attempt to implement their plan, I'd be amazed if they could corral his attention long enough to get him to sign anything in.
