Donald J. Trump ran on a platform that, among other things, promised to "drain the swamp" that is Washington, DC. Part of that draining would entail what his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, would call "the deconstruction of the administrative state." Set in the political environment of 2020, with a raging pandemic and nationwide protests, this work examines the philosophy that guides the Trump Administration's approach and the mechanisms by which it seeks to accomplish the deconstruction. By combining journalistic accounts with presidential and public administration scholarship, the book raises questions about the impact of Trump's approach on the future of public administration. As such, this work makes a strong contribution to public administration and presidential studies and casts a scholarly light on treatments of Trump's contribution to governance and politics.

"A powerful defense of the administrative state and equally powerful indictment of the attempts of Donald Trump and his ilk to deconstruct it. The growing threats to our democracy go beyond the malignant acts of courts, state legislatures, and Congress. To overlook the administrative branch is to miss a large piece of the danger we face as a nation."-Thomas E. Patterson, Bradlee Professor of Government & the Press, Harvard University

"This book takes readers from Trump's campaign rhetoric to his deconstructive approach to the people's business. The authors illuminate Trump Administration attacks on public authority that go beyond politics of public administration and conservative efforts to roll back the state. Chapters detail the assault on administrative rulemaking, expansive executive orders, appointment of hostile agency officials, and overt ideological judicial selection. Trump's 'anti-administration' approach threatens the national government legitimacy by undermining evidence-based policy with conspiracy claims, driving away expertise, and disrupting systems of accountability."-Gina Keel, Professor of Political Science, SUNY Oneonta
