Trump is used to being the boss, barking orders, and firing anyone who doesn't hup to it. In government, you have to work with groups, get their opinions and ideas, form a consensus, and be prepared for a Court to okay or strike down what you've done. You also WILL be questioned on everything you do. It's not just the right, it's the duty of citizens to question and demand answers.
Trump has no experience working this way, and I don't think his authoritarian personality can function in a governmental system. Governments just don't work that way.
Besides, our agencies and departments don't exist to make a profit. They perform services for US, the people.
