“The malcontents are in the majority.”
Can many of these malcontents be “shuffled” around to a desk in North Dakota or Utah? I don’t understand why those more loyal to President Trump are not yet filling the place.
The number of political appointees is just a thin veneer compared to the career bureaucracy. Trump’s appointees are dependent upon the career staff. In the case of Iran for example, the State bureaucrats are solidly behind the Obama deal, which they helped author.
The union magazine devoted almost an entire issue ten months ago extolling its merits. No doubt, the bureaucracy influenced Tillerson’s views on the deal. Pompeo will face the same headwinds.
