Then I’m a traitor too because I think he’s being a lousy CEO. Anyone with any sense knows that the new boss has to get rid of all the old employees hired under the previous boss. Their allegiance is elsewhere. I’ve worked at companies when new management comes in. It doesn’t take long for them to clean house.
Do you have any idea how many people work for the US government? The State department alone has 12K civil service employees (not counting many more than that out in the field), the DOJ has well over 100K employees... and there are many more departments.
You can't just fire everyone day one and expect the country to still function... you have to take a top down approach to get proper leadership reestablished and work from there. Further complicating things is the reality that all the top positions have to get confirmed by the Senate.
Obama had 8 years to fully corrupt the place... and the place already had decades of rot in it when he started.
Its going to take some time to drain that swamp.
All? Cleaning house is a trickle-down process, and there is an institutional part of the swamp that survives all the superficial politics, that is, that persists regardless of who is elected.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be more housecleaning, but he can't do all the firing personally and still attract and retain his own (loyal) management staff.
You are so right and that’s what bothers me about the holdovers and leakers. You and I arent billionaires or ceo’s yet we have enough sense to have fired them on day one. It’s quite disturbing.
