"Whatever one’s view of Trump, one has to admire the brilliance of this executive order. It shows that Trump had come to understand the problem and actually innovate a fundamental solution, or at least the beginnings of one. The “deep state” as we’ve come to know it would have been curbed, and we would have taken a step toward recreating the system that existed before the Pendleton Act of 1883."
I suspect he knew before because I have understood it for 50 years. And I am just an average person who has lived and worked amongst the Civil service.
And he knew it was not a war that could he fought on one front.
