As a person who fought in the wars of the bureaucratic trench in the first Trump administration, I was surprised like anyone by anyone through the amazing speed of Duji leader Elon Musk Plezcarg in the heart of the federal bureaucracy. Within days, President Donald Trump took control of It is a federal bureaucracy that has never fully controlled during its first term.
It can have a slower and more deliberate approach to lawsuits and reduce the side damage to the bureaucracy parts that deserve to be preserved. However, the Trump administration's first experiments have given Trump and Doug a good reason to believe that such an approach would suffer from it.
One of the main lessons that Trump learned from his first administration is that the great professional bureaucrats, who were left to their own devices, were ready and able to sabotage it. The most disturbing rebellion was the Crossfire Hurricane scandal and the Mueleler probe that followed Investigate Russian collusion, Its crimes today are similar to Watergate if the main media gives them Water.
Before Trump's election in 2016, Fed Petter Starsuk and FBI director James Komei authorized to spy on Trump campaign officials, some of whom justify them through inaccuracy Visa Applications and false information in Steel file.

Once Trump is elected, such as the FBI bureauchers Kevin Clinesmith Brian Otun and the Ministry of Justice lawyers such as Bruce U and Dana Ponte kept spying passed through additional duplication.
The government weapon against Trump and its supporters extended to federal agencies. The Ministry of Defense misused the use of the security clearance system to the overthrow of Adam Leuvenger after specifying the misuse of government funds to prepare Trump partners.
In USAID, functional bureaucrats He works Similar tactics against me because I reported many of them about corruption. The Agency's Security Director, Ethics and Inspector General – the people who were supposed to protect morals – participated in moral disorders.
During his first term, Trump also learned that federal bureaucrats were determined to slow or completely obstruct his policies. Dr. Anthony Fushi, the former director of the National Institute of Infectious and Infectious Diseases, organized a hidden report in March 2020, rejecting the theory of Wuhan Laboratory leakage, which then used to undermine the efforts of the White House of the Chinese government official about the deadly disaster.

The US agency bureaucrats for the International Development Agency intentionally concealed the agency's humanitarian programs in Syria because they are afraid that Trump would end the programs if he knew about them.
Before service in the Trump administration's first and identifying Crossfire, I did not think that the big professional bureaucrats would systematically ferment and its policies. Although there may be a bad apple here or there, it seemed unreasonable that large numbers of senior officials would have both boldness and power to act.
The experiment, along with Trump and many other Republicans, prompted me to conclude that sabotage was widespread, and thus needed to remove it from federal bureaucracies from now on. In late January, perhaps it is not by chance, the United States Agency for International Development became the first agency in which a large number of large bureaucrats were marginalized for resisting the White House policies.
While those who are not aware of the nation's past may depict the Trump attack as a radical break with traditions, the fierce resistance to the bureaucracy belongs to the founding of the nation. In 1776, the Americans expressed deep doubts in the government bureaucrats and pointed to it as a cause of a broken Britain. The declaration of independence confirmed that Britain “has established many new offices, and sent swarms from the officers to harass our people, and deal with their essence.”

The heads of both the right and the left at different times have eliminated the federal bureaucracy and demanded a reduction in size and strength. President Andrew Jackson adheres government workers for a period of four years because with the presence of longer service men, “they were ready to gain usually looking at the indifference to public interests.” President Bill Clinton reduced the federal civil workforce by 427,000 during his position in his post.
While the federal bureaucracy is enlarged and must be reduced, it cannot be eliminated. As the founders of this nation recognized, the wrong human nature requires a government for certain purposes, such as law enforcement, protection from foreign enemies, and regulating trade.
As long as we have a government, we need bureaucrats. Some bureaucrats should be kept from one administration to another to ensure that some people know how to keep the machines to operate. However, Congress should act to shoot at weak or rebel employees much easier than it is today.
The Trump administration's first experience also showed that braking in bureaucracy requires improvement not only in bureaucrats but also the presidential appoinals serving in agencies. Under the law, job bureaucrats must follow the directions of political appointed, and most of whom they faced did.
Consequently, the political assignments who are hidden, ethical and adhere to the principles of management can direct the ship in the right direction by simply canceling the subversive bureaucrats and excessive luggage.

One of the reasons why the bureaucrats have fled a lot during the first period of Trump's state is that many political appoinals lack the desire or courage to confront them. The Trump administration came to power without a reservoir of those who wear it.
For this reason, Trump and those around him have spent the past few years examining individuals for these jobs. Some of his choices have sparked controversy, even among his allies, but so far it seems that the new team is able to tame a bureaucracy that has not been brought to the heel the last time.
