Here's the question: Which of these will Trump move to either shut down or cripple so severely that they no longer function? The list isn't actually complete, but these are the ones that have an actual website.

Take a look and see which ones you think a President Trump will see as unnecessary and expendable.

1. Well, we know he already shut this one down!

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

[Hugin]

2. All of them... Especially, if they're regulatory in nature.

Those which can be monetized and commoditized will find themselves summarily privatized. Staffed by the lowest common denominator and headed by a Republican grifter. We're talking straight up fascism here. A spoils system directly out of the middle ages. Feudalism at it's finest.

It's here and as predicted, it came wrapped in a flag and carrying a bible.
