I guess I have to see I disagree a bit from my experience.
I’ve been a federal employee for 25 years and therefore have worked under both Democrat and Republican presidents. The ship turns very slowly either way, but my supervisor (and upper management)—trust me—obey the directive of those above them at the Presidential appointee level (ie Cabinet head on down). Long time civil servants sometimes do refer to them as the “Christmas help” though—as they come and go.
I am glad to hear that. However, I believe that there is too much anti-Trump activity among some federal employees, and believe it’s likely that Trump needs to get rid of some appointed bureaucrats, possibly some of his own appointees.
