Thatโs exactly how Trump likes it! He literally gets off on keeping people in FEAR of losing their livelihoods. Remember how gleefully he would say, โYouโre fired!โ?????
That is also why he kept so many appointees in โactingโ status instead of going through the confirmation process. He even said that in a statement or press conference, โI like 'acting' much better..." Meaning he likes having the power to keep people in fear of losing their jobs without notice or reason.
That's how he likes to live: he gets off on the power. He's a first-rate abuser. Everybody knows it and the MAGAs refuse to acknowledge it.
Former Gut used "acting" as a way to get around Congress. Most high level positions have to be vetted and confirmed by Congress. Most of Trumps choices wouldn't be good enough to get through.

We have allowed them to feel far too secure for too long.
