Hi. I see that you're posting from a Netherlands instance. On the chance that you're not familiar with how the Republican party operates I'm going to explain. Any department that is seen as being against business gets a person from the business world. They always promise to do a great job, using their business knowledge. And they always do their level best to destroy or neuter that department.
We are currently at part 2, where they promise to do a great job.
For the most recent infamous example, check out Ajit Pai. He served in the Bush administration as an Anti Trust lawyer before Trump gave him control of the FCC to blow up net neutrality.
