President Trump is no stranger to shaking things up politically. From sidelining Republican rivals to shifting the national immigration conversation, his moves often defy expectations. Now, he’s setting his sights on a bigger target: the government itself.

Trump’s been busy recently, offering buyouts to millions of federal workers, attempting to freeze federal grants (though unsuccessfully), and openly challenging Congress by disregarding certain laws. While Democrats are pushing back hard, Trump seems confident the public is on his side.

Here’s his bet: Americans are so fed up with the current system that they won’t mind him shaking the foundations. Voters across the board feel disillusioned with a government mired in endless spending fights, stalled projects, and partisan gridlock. Polls back this up—many believe the system is broken and has been for years.

For Trump, this frustration is an opportunity. By taking on the bureaucracy, he’s positioning himself as the guy willing to “fix” what’s wrong. Even if his methods stir controversy, he’s counting on voters to reward him for trying.

Will it work? Only time will tell, but one thing’s clear: Trump’s not afraid to gamble on big changes.
