Ok but who do you think he's going to fire, and who do you think he's going to keep on? Do you think this will make the CIA better or worse? Keep in mind, none of his "downsizing" efforts have actually saved any money so far. Expect the CIA to have as much money as they need to do whatever Trump wants them to do.

Will they have enough resources to coup foreign governments or just terrorize domestic opposition? It could still be harm reduction.

They'll have enough to do whatever Donald Trump wants them to do, and nothing to do anything Trump doesn't want them to do. So yes to terrorism and destabilization, but only for the countries that are unaligned with Trump and his owners.
