Donald Moynihan, professor at the Ford School, commented on President Trump's nomination for director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought: “Vought is Trump’s Thomas Cromwell: the behind-the-scenes fixer who enables his master’s goals.” He added, "Vought will use his skills in ways that break government, rather than allow it to better serve its citizens. In many respects he does exactly what he accuses his enemies of doing. He almost single-handedly created the “weaponization of government” trope, and now President Trump is promising an era of retribution. Vought complains about a post-constitutional order, while also proposing to ignore the law."
