Hey Democrats: Surprise! DOGE Is Not New, It’s Actually A Government Entity Created By A Democrat President!
Trump just gave it a fresh name, assignment and leader
DOGE, President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, which is led by Elon Musk and tasked with eliminating fraud, waste and corruption in the federal government spending, actually is an agency that was created by Barack Obama.
All Trump did was change the name and give it a new assignment and staff.
But the funding paths and authorities all were already established.
It was Obama’s United States Digital Service, created in 2014, that was gutted and transformed into an organization that is expected, by its own estimation, to cut hundreds of billions of dollars a year from federal spending.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
It’s already inserted itself into dozens of federal agencies, including the Defense Department and the IRS, and it has largely eliminated the U.S. Agency for International Development, transferring only some of its workers and responsibilities to the State Department.
Multiple reports have defined how Obama launched the agency in an attempt to make the federal government’s digital capabilities better, following the disastrous rollout at the time of HealthCare.gov, the Obamacare website.
Trump moved the organization from the Office of Management and Budget to the Executive Office of the President, appointed “special government employee” Musk to run it and unleashed it.
It already has been targeted by a long list of lawsuits from lawfare schemes launched by Democrats against Trump and his plans. And Trump has made it clear that he is the decision-maker for DOGE plans to cut spending, eliminate grants and more.
The founding of DOGE was the topic of comment by Ed Dowd just days ago on the Charlie Kirk podcast. Dowd’s comments come at about the 24-minute mark of Kirk’s recent podcast, “JD Vance Buries the Globalists.”
Dowd, a real estate investor, financier and philanthropist, explained the brilliance of the Trump plan to take over the agency already created by Obama and turn it into DOGE.
He explained the move gave it oversight of the bureaucracy and gained immediate access to many government offices.
And, he said, there’s “nothing that the Deep State can do.”
The move, he described, amounted to a Trump “blitzkrieg” against the Deep State, the establishment in Washington, the funding routes and procedures.
“The big point, I’m very impressed, with the foresight, planning before they even hit the ground on Jan. 20,” he said.
Democrats have been left gasping for breath with how quickly Trump and DOGE have moved against fraud, with announcements about the elimination of thousands of federal jobs.
And they’ve objected.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said just days ago, “before our very eyes, an unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.”
Actually, however, the moves have just been Trump fulfilling his campaign promise to voters to dig into government and throw out waste and fraud, and even criminality.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Musk is what’s known as a “special government employee,” a temporary appointment under which he can work for 130 days per year. It also means he has different ethics and disclosure rules.
