Trump is so good at reducing government bloat he has to create two brand new departments (DOGE and now this) to do things that have already been done through existing government functions/agencies.

Yes, and I think it will be seen to be more effective than anything DOGE is able to accomplish in the coming 4 years. "Congress and agencies have made significant progress in addressing many of the 2,018 matters and recommendations that we identified from 2011 to 2024. These efforts have resulted in approximately $667.5 billion in financial benefits, an increase of approximately $71 billion since our 2023 report." https://www.gao.gov/duplication-cost-savings
