It's his Cabinet to choose what to do with.
The overwhelming majority of Americans want DOGE, as it was a main platform topic. If his own Cabinet is against DOGE, they're really actually opposing democracy, and must go.
We voted for DOGE. We didn't vote for Cabinet members, only supported Trump's decision to pick who he thought was best for the role. And if they're now opposing the core of the American vote, we're all for Trump to select someone else.
You also have to take into consideration a catastrophe and the Presidential line of succession.
The president of the United States may be replaced if he or she:
- Becomes incapacitated
- Dies
- Resigns
- Is unable to hold office
- Is removed from office
The U.S. Constitution and the
Presidential Succession Act of 1947 outline the presidential order of succession. The line of succession of cabinet officers is in the order of their agencies’ creation.
- Vice President
- Speaker of the House
- President Pro Tempore of the Senate
- Secretary of State
- Secretary of the Treasury
- Secretary of Defense
- Attorney General
- Secretary of the Interior
- Secretary of Agriculture
- Secretary of Commerce
- Secretary of Labor
- Secretary of Health and Human Services
- Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
- Secretary of Transportation
- Secretary of Energy
- Secretary of Education
- Secretary of Veterans Affairs
- Secretary of Homeland Security
Any Cabinet member could be the next President, if, for instance, a State of the Union — or other event where all Members gathered — was attacked. There is 1 Cabinet member that does not attend, being the "
Designated Survivor", and thus becoming the next President to put the pieces back together in such a scenario.
As Cabinet members aren't democratically elected, and Trump was heavily favored because of DOGE, it only makes sense to get rid of the ones opposing it. Although nil, it's still possible that an unelected Cabinet member can become President. And if that Cabinet member doesn't align with what the People voted for? They need to go. It's as simple as that (I don't need to watch the video to agree with it because this is Civics/Political Science 101).
