“President Trump has a lot of firing to do after the election......and he better shit can ‘em ALL this time.”

The bureaucracy is absolutely massive. Its going to take a herculean effort to dislodge layer upon layer of bureaucracy. Trump will be lucky to make a small dent in it; he only has three years to do this and DC is very good at protecting itself and resisting change. At the same time he will have to deport millions of immigrants. So much to do, so little time.
Trump has the Constitutional power to fire them all if he wants, on day one.
First thing he needs to do is fire all the US attorneys immediately. That’s something incoming GOP administrations rarely do.
Lop off the first three levels at all agencies and promote up. Don’t rehire from the bottom. This will get rid of the worst bureaucrat’s and a lot of useless jobs.
