As long as its their kind of government bureaucracy - where anything goes for those with power and money, and the rest of us meekly obey the government.

It's the laws, rules, and regulations meant to benefit and protect "the people" that bother Trump.

Trump is spouting Reagan/GOP/Thatcher "big government" bullshit.
