Opinion - Trump is disrupting everything -- why isn't Congress doing anything?

[Dulcinea]

(The Hill) Much of what we know about President Trump’s leadership is revealed by his personal behavior. For example, during his first month in office, while Elon Musk conducted mass firings and canceled government services to cut spending, Trump spent nearly $10.7 million of taxpayer money to play golf at his properties.

The Department of Government Efficiency hasn’t mentioned this. HuffPost calculated the expenditure based on Trump’s tax-supported golf outings during his first term. Over those four years, he golfed 293 days at a cost of $152 million. Taxpayers footed the bill for him to travel on Air Force One, transport motorcade vehicles, and station gunships off the coast of his West Palm Beach golf club.

Trump’s big initiatives reflect his personality, too. They appear to be driven by impulse rather than sound analysis. Their costs and benefits are not transparent, and his decisions are mercurial. They are causing considerable disruption in the stock market, business plans and people’s retirement funds.

It’s not clear Trump knows what he’s doing. For example, he and his advisers say import tariffs will generate billions of dollars in tax breaks. However, these are tax increases imposed on American businesses that rely on imports. Companies will pass the cost along to consumers.
