Does your “correct direction” include unifying the country? I believe that is one of Trump’s stated strategic goals. Defunding PBS, a piddling budget item, takes us in the opposite direction, while satisfying the purist Conservative agenda merely for its own sake. Nothing much gained and a lot will be lost in the culture wars.
To have a unified country with a population as varied as ours, we will all have to give up a little something here and there.
Trump doesn’t do purist, he does practical. Let’s see what happens. I’m betting PBS stays pretty much as is.

Can’t please everyone all the time (GOVT can’t help but infringe upon Rights)

Million here, million there...But, if it’s ‘piddling’, then there’s really no complaint about stopping it, yes?
Yes, the ‘purists’; should would hate to actually FOLLOW the Constitution once in a while (see ‘piddling’, above).

Spoken like a true Statist, and entirely incorrect. As I pointed out, there will ALWAYS be those ‘unhappy’ = NOT ‘unified’; how well has that ‘War on Poverty’ been going?

Oh, I’m not doubting it’ll stay where it is. There’s not a party that upholds and defends the Constitution anywhere in govt.
