I also really hope RFK jr. gets the HHS position. That would be the frosting on the cake.

For Norway particular, I look at what DOGE is doing and would love something similar here, even if our wasteful spending is "nothing" in direct comparison. But we're also a country of only 5.5m and proportionally there's still a massive amount of government waste on things like "foreign aid" where time and time again it ends up going to warlords and despots and back into the pockets of politicians.
Seeing as the original parent comment to mine got flagged and removed, I'm not going to bother explaining anymore, as I'm already receiving significant downvotes for even agreeing with it, and this will likely get flagged and removed as well.
I really wish HN didn't turn into Reddit, but here we are
For balance I should say that among Norwegians you can also find Vegard and Bård Ylvisåker who made the important cultural contribution "What does the Fox say"?
Trump, in just a few weeks, has
- deported a few thousand illegal immigrants who are criminals and rapists
- reduced border encounters by 60-90%
- taken back Panama Canal from Chinese dictatorship
- attempted to shrink the size of the government and American tax burden
- put more tariffs on Chinese dictatorship
- increased foreign spending in US by a few hundred billion
- focused US on AI
- prevented biological men from beating up biological women in sports
- taken over Gaza to prevent another war between Israel and Hamas
- gotten Mexico and Canada to finally own up to protecting the border
- been taking fentanyls killing Americans very seriously
I've never seen so many good things accomplished from a government in such a short time. I'm sure many people around the world are jealous at the velocity of American government.
