Every President speechifies and makes feints in that direction.

Some make an honest effort (Reagan's Grace Commission), 
usually to no avail. Some actually accomplish savings and 
reform (Mr Gore in Mr Clinton's first term).  Few change 
much of anything within the scale of our gargantuan Federal 
behemoth.

Mr Trump (and his people) have made a typical start. I'll 
reserve judgement until something significant gets done.  Or 
not.
