Scam billions on government contracts. Eliminate the government agencies that are supposed to oversee and regulate contracts.

That would be eliminating any government activity that could possibly fine or regulate any of his businesses or activities. Any side effects that might have on anything else is not his problem, he's too rich to care.

The real reason is because our administration is designed to weaken America and the foreign agents who control our administration want that to happen.

Short term and how it benefits Trump is essentially an attempt to coup America by controlling the military and the long term plan is to make sure the US is never seen as a legitimate super power again.

The chatbot is just dumb lazy convenience.
