Yes. The ideal of cutting State Department budget by 1/3 is ambitious. I think that might actually be good medicine.
Long before Trump’s election, I was beating the drum saying it is TIME to DownSize DC! I remember some here saying, that is not going to happen, when did he ever say he was going to do something like that?
Here we are. The Deep State stabs Trump in the back daily. They should expect him to react. He is and will.
Don’t drain the swamp. Disperse it.
With modern communications it is no longer necessary to have all those people with their ares hugging chairs in buildings in DC.
Sent them into the locations where they should be, homeland to the borders, energy to shale, coal, nuclear areas, etc. There should be no more than 40 people and the department head in DC.
This would spread the wealth, increase efficency, and reduce the high cost of supporting people to live in DC
1/3 of the state department budget goes to the basement shredding and redacting division.

On a similar note, I’ve been saying since the election that one measure of the success of the Trump Presidency would be if DC residential real estate values level off. Big success would be indicated if they actually reduced slightly.
