Treason Season??

Trump and his administration have failed to realize something I think. Sure, a lot of the civil service are just in it for the paycheck, but there's a not to be disregarded chunk of the bureaucrats that joined up because they are idealists. And a lot of those guys rise to the top because they are driven by those ideals. And these ideals aren't political; their political stance influence it, but they're in it because they believe in the country they serve more than they believe in a given administration.

And these people?

They will receive that message and conclude 'fuck this administration, they're a threat to the nation's well being' and act accordingly.

Quoted for truth.

Any competent civil servant could earn more money in the private sector. The ones who rose through the ranks and made it to the top that way aren't in it for the money... and that's something that somebody who is in business only for the money (like Trump) cannot possibly understand.

There are ways to work around a dangerous boss - especially when the boss is a short-timer, only in place for a maximum of eight years.
