Trump is making a case that government can no longer be functional at all

President Trump has also done a great deal to continue delegitimizing the institutions of government. In the same way that Franklin Roosevelt showed Americans why the government could be a positive force for good and Ronald Reagan made a case for markets over government, Trump is making a case that government can no longer be functional at all. His is the ultimate product of the era of Watergate. His ongoing attacks on the judiciary and the federal bureaucracy have fueled among his supporters skepticism and distrust that the government, and even the democracy, can ever work well.
He continually raises questions about whether public officials, such as judges, ever do their job. The intelligence community has been a perpetual target of criticism. He has cast doubt on the entire electoral system upon which our democracy depends. 
 
end partial quote from:

Zelizer: Trump is winning

From this well written and quoted paragraph one could easily say that Trump is an Anarchist in the way he is deconstructing government. 

From this, we ascertain that Trump thinks all government as evil inherently. So, his point of view is alien to most of us. 

However, if you have ever lived out in the country in this nation, most of the time there are less laws that govern you when you are remote. You tend to have more freedom out in the country. There is less available law enforcement so you have to be the law yourself often and so many more people are armed in remote places all the time because in the end they have to be the law themselves if the law isn't there in many situations.

So, the most regulations are in big cities and as you move outward and away from the big cities in the U.S. there is less and less real law enforced unless there are murders or serious things like this.

It is often this way all over the world.

However, Trump thinking Government is "Evil" may or may not be a good thing in the long run, especially if he gets into a nuclear war with North Korea which feels pretty inevitable right now.
