The smaller the better.

This should actually be a tightly knit circle of close confidants. The bigger it gets the more likely secrets are to leak.

EXCELLENT. Clean out the entrenched heads of every agency you can. Find out WHO hired them and when. If they had start under Clinton or Obama GET RID OF THEM.

We don’t need a big bloated bureaucracy feeding at the trough.

Maybe not others, but I have been genuinely shocked to see military personnel, and civil service employees openly oppose the President. Where possible, firings, transfers, and draconian budget cuts need to be made.

” I have been genuinely shocked to see military personnel, and civil service employees openly oppose the President.”

In my experience, attitudes feed from the top down. I suspect that this open disdain is happening because it’s being shared and openly abetted by the leadership in their bureaucracies.

DJT may have to fire a few dozen to get get Eric. Like artillery pounding an area to get an embedded target.

I agree. There’s a whole generation of people who need an attention getter. I hope it starts with President Trump.

A real whistle blower identifies himself and thereby gets protected from retaliation.

If no one knows who the whistle blower is, then if some guy gets fired, I don’t see how he can claim retaliation.

In far too many cases, wholesale purges that should have been done at the start of his admin never occurred (e.g., all political-appointee State Dept officials and US Attorneys). Now that they’ve totally undermined him, he is picking some of them off, but with the ability of the MSM to paint it as in retribution.

And yes, this has to do with handing his transition staffing team over to, of all people, Jared Kushner.

State department needs to be next. Reduction or removal by about 80%
