Strategy
His plan is to reshape the administration. Anyone who he considers a threat to Trump must go or be placed somewhere else.
He plans to move major decision making outside Washington. Seems strange since that is where the Government is located.
Regarding his strategy for change he said “push your generals where the fight is.”
He said the President wanted it to happen for a long time now. Zinke talked about energy, he mentioned the oil and gas industry.
Zinke said “I really can’t change the culture without changing the structure.” He spoke regarding the energy industry. He said “It’s going to be huge.”
He talked about other aspects of the Government. Zinke mentioned the Endangered Species Act. He thinks that the act has been taken advantage of.
Trumps goal is to change the governing process. He aims to restructure the way the Government works. For that to work he must weed out any opposition and replace them.
Loyalty is a big deal for any Government. For any President to succeed he will need those who are loyal by his side. They must work up front, behind and center.
If what Zinke is saying is true, then Trump and Zinke have a tall task. One third of the staff is a huge amount.
Zinke has to hope that whoever he finds as replacements aren’t disloyal as well.
