Exactly how is Trump going to get rid of the FBI, legally?
Edited to add: what's with the downvoting?
Isn't one reason why the Great Awakening is taking so long is because it has to be done legally? That's what I've seen said here time and time again. For years.
But now people have a problem with things having to be done legally?
Or did I just pop some copium balloons?
The FBI (originally the BOI or BI) was created by order of either (depending on which story you believe) Attorney General Bonaparte or AG Wickersham. There was a big fight about DOJ "borrowing" secret service agents so they wanted to create their own agents. Congress ended up funding them under Wickersham, but ultimately it was created from an executive order that was not signed by a president. The AG should be able to just shut them down on order of POTUS, but CONgress would surely meddle and possibly create a new FBI agency legally.
No reason for the down toots, but it's actually quite simple - an agency invented by executive order can be dissolved by executive order.
Says who? Where can I see anything legal or official that says that?
Start with some basic history. You can choose your source. All accurate sources will say the same thing - the FBI was created by executive order: https://trac.syr.edu/tracfbi/atwork/current/fbiHistory.html#:~:text=In%201908%2C%20over%20the%20objections,the%20subject%20of%20intense%20controversy.
Then, comes the question what is necessary to cancel an executive order? I am lazy, so I will refer you to the Bar Association. Any of thousands of sources will yield the same result - the President can at any time cancel, amend or do whatever they choose with regards to any executive order from previous administrations or the current administration.

Thanks for the links. I've been looking through stuff about it on my own, and from what I'm reading, it's a bit more complicated than americanbar.org makes it seem.
I don't think it's quite as easy as just signing another EO. Many obstacles would have to be legally dealt with. And since Congress is glacially slow, it would most likely take years to get it resolved.
What would be the point, anyway? The next President would just sign another EO to reinstate it. In the end, it would just be a huge waste of time and money.
