Trump likely to take an ax to the govs vast woke bureaucracy if hes back in office

If Donald Trump is elected president in November, he’s likely to take an ax to the federal government’s vast “woke” bureaucracy, the powerful regulatory agencies that are forcing progressive politics on all aspects of American life, including the workplace, The Post has learned.Several outside advisers to candidate Trump say plans are already being drawn up on how to return agencies like the Federal Trade Commission, led by Lina Khan, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, headed by Gary Gensler, to their original mandates of consumer and investor protection, as opposed to pushing progressive change in the $28 trillion US economy.As I point out in my book, “Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America,” Joe Biden was maybe the most woke-obsessed president in history, infusing progressive politics throughout the government’s vast regulatory matrix that in turn foisted it on corporate America.This is a president who said, “To me, the values of diversity, equality, inclusion are literally — and this is not kidding — the core strengths of America.

That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history that taps into the full talents of our country.And it starts at the top with the vice president.”Cabinet appointments, Supreme Court nominations and much more were made with a heavy emphasis on left-wing virtue-signaling about intersectionality, not skill.

Regulatory agencies have been prodding corporations to do the same, which is why DEI and in many cases de facto quotas permeate much of private sector hiring.Biden’s uber woke SEC chair has expanded the agency’s mandate by proposing useless rules that force companies to figure out their carbon footprint and disclose how they’re making the world a greener place.When was the last time you heard Warren Buffett say he bought a stock based on such metrics?
