It is standard practice for an incoming administration to immediately place schedule C employees in all departments to watch and report to the political affairs director in the White House. Actions of any sort by suspected hostiles are vetted with extreme prejudice by OMB including any change in regulations or forms.
On personnel policy Trump is an idiot. He has appointed his enemies, given free run to hostiles, and never created any semblance of proper vetting.
That is why this stuff never happened under Clinton or Obama. You would have been fed to the dogs.
Sometimes I think Trump likes being dissed and spat upon. He enjoys playing the victim. If his personnel fiascos of his first term is any indication, his second will be a doozey.
So much corruption...so little time. So many seditionists...so few patriots. So many traitors...
