Trump is not being "Draconian". He believes in capitalism. He inherited a socialist mess that he is in the process of cleaning up.
The US Deep State has been running all this stuff. Having "conquered" Communism, the Deep State decided that the Commies were right. Forget about all of this freedom stuff, the Deep State wants to control you. They want the Democrats in charge, because they are easiest to control.
They control the media, and fed it with fairy tales. Trump won the election because Americans increasingly don't believe their government any more. The US government propaganda that you say Trump was Draconian in deleting lost its credibility among the Americans. They don't know if this is just more bullshit from mainstream media, and they increasingly don't care. If you want this propaganda, you pay for it. Trump doesn't want to pay for it. Neither do I.
