The Trump presidency operates very differently (obviously) than those of his post-WW2 predecessors. First off, its goals are completely different: it's dismantling the neoliberal system. A system that earlier administrations built up over decades. Second, and equally as interestingly, it operates more like a network than a bureaucracy. Specifically, the Trump administration is:
More autocratic than bureaucratic. Single decision maker (softly autocratic) rather than decision through a consensus of bureaucratic elites. This is faster, particularly within a network setting, but more prone to error.
More socially networked than hierarchically networked. Its external social network is on the same level as the governmental bureaucracy. The social network is now a means of governance on par with the bureaucracy.
