A thousand miles from the austere buildings where Washington runs, Donald Trump’s transition team in his Mar-a-Lago resort has begun what a close ally calls a hostile takeover of the federal government.
Since his victory, Trump has ignored many of the rules and practices intended to guide a seamless transfer of power and handover of the oversight of 2.2 million federal employees. Instead, the president-elect, who has pledged to fire thousands of civil servants and slash billions of dollars in spending, has so far almost fully cut out the government agencies his predecessors have relied on to take charge of the federal government.
Trump has yet to collaborate with the General Services Administration, which is tasked with the complex work of handing over control of hundreds of agencies, because he has not turned in required pledges to follow ethics rules. His transition teams have yet to set foot inside a single federal office......
LOL.....The swamp is in a panic!
It means that they can't immediately start leaking shit and undermining him at every turn.....Trump learned from last time.
Gee, I don't remember there being an instruction manual for a transition by the founding fathers other than the date and time to be sworn in.
Meh, the swamp can sweat......Hey, they say it's a lot less painful if you don't see it coming.
