About 1-in-4 federal employees would consider leaving their jobs if Donald Trump is elected president, according the results of a recent survey conducted by the Government Business Council.
Overall, about 2-in-3, or 67 percent said they would not think about leaving the federal government if Trump becomes president, but 14 percent said they would and 11 percent said they would "maybe" leave. Just 8 percent said they did not know. The share of Democrats who said they would leave is higher, with 42 percent indicating that they would exit or could exit.
Among all of those surveyed, 59 percent said they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president, compared to 49 percent who said the same for Hillary Clinton, 45 percent who would be embarrassed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 37 percent with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and just 20 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Of those surveyed, 42 percent identified as Republicans, 31 percent as Democrats, while 8 percent said they did not know and 19 percent declined to state.

Self-pruning will result in healthy growth.
I was thinking the same thing!
And celebrities that hate trump will leave the country too. /s
They never quit. They die first.
I’m still holding out for 85%.
Maybe I should have posted this under Political Humor? ;o)
Can a president even fire these “civil servants” at all? It seems all Trump could do is suspend them with pay indefinitely, which would get Marxists and racists off the job b ut not save any money.
can we get that promise in writing from that 25%, i think a 25% reduction in fed gov “workers” would cause an immediate boom..
First good reason to vote for the guy that I’ve seen
It’s a win-win?
Imagine 25% less obnoxious, overbearing, imperious,
self-proclaimed-brilliant-intellectual Democrats leaving the government and liberating us from tyrannical adolescents.
What a pleasant thought.
IMHO
Just like all the Hollyweird jokers, full of hot air..
Good... a lot of them are bottom feeders or liberal ideologues and need to be out anyway.
If Trump can facilitate that just by taking office...all the better.
Administrations come and administrations go, but the civil service grows on forever.
Affirmative sir. It would be nice to see 50% of them go, but it's not going to happen.
I was in the USAF under Jimmy Carter. I surely wanted to quit, but I didn't.
25 percent of federal employees fear that Trump will have them indicted for their activities under Obama.
Another positive of a Trump presidency.
Well over twenty percent would be fired. That includes the fourteen percent that would want to leave.
