Because populist politics has little to do with operational politics, and operational bureaucracy. The Tweeter in Chief (and his followers) has absolutely zero interest in any of the actual mechanics of government, and almost everything material flies completely under the radar of false Twitter wars is 'same old'. The dynamics of awarding contracts likely has not changed, and frankly is probably more regional (i.e. we want that factory or HQ in our county!) than ideological. Edit: By 'followers' I mean literally 'Twitter' followers. Not supporters in general.
