The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

DOGE has completely skirted the Constitution by allowing a small, unelected group to bypass Congress, fundamentally altering government without a shred of legal authority. This radical transformation lacks public mandate or legislative approval, flouting both separation of powers and checks and balances. Musk is conducting a coup from the inside, which is why the courts must step in to rein in this lawlessness.

Pro-Trump narrative

DOGE was created carefully to avoid violating the law by leveraging existing structures like the Obama-era United States Digital Service. The only ones mad about this are the unelected bureaucrats amassing personal wealth — highlighting that Americans from both sides of the aisle are against their tax dollars filling the pockets of corrupt officials. DOGE is not a coup, its mission is to cut waste, fraud, and abuse.
