Trump is simply a narcissist and socialite who has broad ideas about how he thinks the world should work, but like anyone at a high leadership position, surrounds himself with other people he trusts to execute on the details.
In this case, all of the downsizing that has been happening is right out of the Heritage Foundation playbook, literally.
And those plans are largely a manifestation of Kevin Roberts' political beliefs. He, in his book, has said things such as:

This executive has been criticized as using a hatchet and not a scalpel in their downsizing options precisely because their fundamental driving belief is that all of it is waste and abuse. They don't want any of it.
