One thing about Trump that will greatly help him in taming the federal leviathon, is that he has decades of experience at the top of a large organization. He’s already got finely honed instincts where it comes to rooting out trouble makers and misfits down the chain of command.
In fact, I’d be willing to bet that he’s done it for so long, that it’s just standard operating procedure for him. A successful exec like Trump demands compliance and performance from his immediate juniors, and insists that they ruthlessly root out the non-compliant dead weights directly below them, and so on.
He’s an expert at that sort of thing.
I hope to God that you are right. That is exactly what we need.

I recall reading an incident in which Donald Trump showed up on a construction site and shouted out "Who's in Charge here?" After he had gotten everyone's attention, one man shouted back, "I am." Trump then turned to all the other workers and said "Everyone listen to that man." and walked off. :)

Let us hope so.
