>What gives you the slightest hope that Trump would even try to kick over the big government.
The fact that he’s cheap and works his people hard. Almost 1/3 of the federal payrolls are people who do nothing and can’t be fired due to the unions. Trump would love to tell them “You’re fired” and thus reduce the size of the government massively in a single stroke.
If you seriously want that done, you should vote for Ted Cruz.
He has plans to dismantle many useless government agencies.
Trump will not be personally paying those federal employees and I wouldn’t count on his being as frugal with taxpayers money as he is with his own.
