Donald Trump is outlining his economic platform during a speech in New York City on Thursday.
The former president's policies will include billionaire Elon Musk's recommendation to create a government efficiency commission to conduct 'a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government.'
The remarks are meant to more specifically detail Trump's plans for the future of the economy as the issue is often cited by voters as their No. 1 issue this election cycle.
And Trump holds an advantage over Vice President Kamala Harris among voters who think he would better handle the economy and inflation crisis.
Trump's policies are expected to introduce even more aggressive slashing of regulations than he implemented during his first White House term and would likely dramatically rescind unspent funds that President Joe Biden's administration appropriated.
The address comes just five days before Tuesday's debate with Harris in Philadelphia.
'I can't wait. There is a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go,' Musk tweeted this week amid speculation of his role influencing Trump's economic policies.
Musk suggested that the commission tackle the issue of inflation by addressing government spending.
And the X, Tesla and SpaceX CEO wants this group to 'recommend drastic reform' after an entire government audit.

Along with the Energy Dept...except for a smaller “atomic energy” department.

Trump is going to need a lot more protection.
If you want to absolutely panic the deep state, audit where ALL of the money goes. A full audit. Every unrecognized account or entity to be fleshed out and investigated.
It would be an enormous goose chase, if the bureaucracy works anything like how I suspect it does though.
No way they can let Trump takes office after he wins the election.
They know they will all be headed for supermax cells.
This should SCARE HELL out of just about EVERY POLITICIAN in Wash D.C.
I will save them time and money: over each of the next ten years, spending/borrowing will decrease by 5% each year.
Pelosi must be spitting nails right now - after all she thinks this is HER government

No doubt they’re thinking of that - probably why they’ve got their real state in other countries that will protect them.....or they already know they’ve got their ‘steal’ of this election set.
There should be a ‘Clean Slate’ where they start over with EVERYTHING.
Get rid of the Dept of Education and Dept of Energy for starters. Check out all of the empty govt buildings and see who is listed as working there getting a paycheck and let them go.

they made recommendations and congress ignored it.
maybe different this time.
> Eliminate the Department of Education… <
Yep. The federal government should have zero say when it comes to education policies. That should be a state issue.
And if a state policy is clearly unconstitutional, let the Department of Justice handle it.
Side note: Here’s one trick the Feds pull: “States, you can control your own schools. But if you want federal grant money, you must do exactly as we say.”
This too has got to stop.
Well, I am old enough to remember the “Grace Commission”,
and how the vast majority of the report’s recommendations
were rejected by Congress.
Will that include an audit of the Federal Reserve and the IRS? I know, the Federal Reserve is not an official entity of the Federal government but it is the nucleus of this country’s financial system. It too needs to be dissolved.
Is he still calling for more immigration because of AI??????
We can easily wipe out 3/4 of all alphabet agencies and be just fine.
Doing this would save us billions upon billions every year. Probably into the trillions because of the fraud, waste, and abuse these people think up constantly.
“ This is a great idea!”
I agree…and it is the perfect job for Elon Musk (along with others such as Kudlow and Ramaswamy).
I also agree with those that say this puts Trump in great danger (of course, he is already in great danger from the fascists in control of the government). I am not really concerned about Trump winning the election…but I am greatly worried about what follows and the potential for violence afterward, and assassination attempts before the election. The United States is currently ruled by Demons, the worst, most destructive government on Earth (and it isn’t even close).
That would be a great slogan. Catchy!
Congress has to agree with deleting a lot of unnecessary and useless costs?
