Trump as Administrator in Chief

Abstract

Abstract: Trump come amministratore in capo – Like his predecessors, President Trump has sought to exert greater control over the apparatus of the administrative state by centralizing control and politicizing agency leadership. In some respects, Trump has pushed the centralization and politicization of administrative power in ways without precedent in the modern presidency. At the same time, many of the President’s moves have been ineffectual. Although the Trump administration has been less effective at achieving the President’s objectives than it might have been, the President’s approach to administration has also caused damage to the institutions of American governance that will take time to repair.
