People having been asking if Trump learned his lessons from his first term. I think Vance answers that question. Trump listen to that POS Ryan and took Pence as VP. He needed a pit bull and he got a schnauzer. Vance is a good first step.

If he learned his lesson, and if elected, his next step should be bringing in staffers who have and will fight the entrenched establishment. Someone whom the three letter agencies cannot trick like Flynn. He will need a cadre of young conservatives paired with older experienced Washington hands. No more family members, except maybe Junior. No Misses and Mister Ivanka please!. Those young conservatives will ultimately build a generation of new conservative leaders possibly lead by Vance. Reduce the intelligence agency actors in the White House. Fire every political appointee at Justice, State and CIA. Leave DOD alone except for SecDef. Remind the JCS they were at his will and will be vetted to determine if they keep their appointments. At DOD the standard for senior officers should be apolitical decision makers. Easy way to accomplish that is reducing number of Generals per service by 25% across the board in 2025 and another 25% in 2026. I all the above cases, there are career personnel to step into the void and keep agencies and commands running. In some cases the career people run the show anyway because all political appointees are temporary hires. Colonels are Generals without the stars and bloated staffs. They will step into the spot left by Generals.

Use the power of the purse to force agencies to return to their basic functions. I would give Vance a free hand in much of this, let him be the pit bull.
