Isn't direct file the sort of efficiency that we elected Trump (who brought in Elon as DOGE chief) to find and promulgate? Reducing red tape and costing citizens less? This seems like terrible optics.

Optics? Who took any of their promises or excuses literally? Make filing taxes hurt, that's their mantra even before MAGA.

I'm starting to think Trump doesn't actually care about efficiency or about governing well at all

Given you are referring to our most regarded civilians, I don’t see how your answer isn’t obvious.

I'm very confused about your comment; putting Trump in office is the nation-scale version of choosing to have brain damage. Why would any intelligent person think anything good or efficient would come out of that?
