Why is it “Trump” specifically ? Is there no government anymore ?

Because he's exerting autocratic control over the entire executive branch. How many times does he have to tell you he's doing so before you can recognize it? He talks about it in interviews and on his social media, and not in vague or nuanced terms, but with clear declarative statements like "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the President." (this example from about 3 weeks ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOxw6Pc_KXw)

Please don't be obtuse. I'm sure an intelligent person such as yourself is aware of things like the normal federal rulemaking process, the requirements to conform with employment law, and that the job of the executive branch is to faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress even when the President finds some of them disagreeable, not to rule by fiat.
