The "Cabinet of Termites"
Describes Trump's cabinet that is eroding government from within.
"It is the latest piece of evidence that President Trump’s appointees are using their positions not to improve life for Americans, but to take apart decades of regulation and customs that make our lives easier, safer, healthier and better.
This is, in one sense, a long-standing play from the Republican playbook. It was President Ronald Reagan, after all, who said in his inaugural speech in 1981: “Government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem.”
But the Trump administration is taking this to a whole new level. His Cabinet and other appointees are like termites, burrowing inside the government structure, taking it apart from within, and causing foundation rot and damage as they go about their work."
