Donald Trump is fundamentally altering the operation of the U.S. presidency through a process described as regime change [1].
This shift represents a significant departure from traditional governance, potentially concentrating power within a small inner circle and permanently changing how the executive branch functions.
Reports indicate that five or six people are currently running the U.S. government as Trump continues to reshape the office [1]. This concentration of authority suggests a move toward an "imperial presidency," where standard institutional checks are bypassed in favor of a tight-knit group of loyalists.
Observers suggest that the nature of the office has been so thoroughly disrupted that it is unlikely the presidency will ever be the same [1], ABC Australia Top said.
While the administration focuses on this structural overhaul, other political figures have addressed separate concerns. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) noted that an essential tremor caused the shaking seen in campaign video, Newsweek said [1].
The reshaping of the presidency involves a strategic effort to alter the political landscape of the country. By shifting the decision-making process away from traditional cabinet structures and toward a few key individuals, the administration is redefining the role of the U.S. president.
“Five or six people are running the US”
The reported consolidation of power into a small group of advisors suggests a transition from a bureaucratic executive model to a personalized power structure. If the presidency is fundamentally altered to bypass traditional institutional norms, it may create a lasting precedent that weakens the role of the formal cabinet and civil service in future administrations.
