YARVIN: There’s just no world in which you can do this without electing a president who says, I am the chief executive of the executive branch. I am going to reinvent the executive branch and the way I’m going to do it is simply by working around the one we have and creating a new one which has all the power. As for the people we have, they’ll be retired.

VANCE: There’s this guy, Curtis Yarvin. Who’s written about some of these things. A lot of concerns that said we should deconstruct the administrative state. We should basically eliminate the administrative state. And I’m sympathetic to that project. But another option is that we should just seize the administrative state for our own purposes.

I think that what Trump should do, like if I was giving him one piece of advice, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people. And then when the courts stop you, stand before the country, like Andrew Jackson did, and say the Chief Justice has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.
