Trump is an outsider who didn’t realize how deep the swamp is. There are guys like that clown all over every agency in DC. The heads of the agencies have to hire qualified people and the only people qualified in DC are 0bama holdovers since he was in office for 8 years plus Bush days wasn’t exactly MAGA either.
Trump screwed up b/c he hired nobody off the list of resumes he got through his website he created after being elected. 80k resumes were in there supposedly. Including mine. I was never called.
The agencies in DC need to be spread out into flyover country but the heads of those agencies will never agree to it b/c they don’t want to live in Oklahoma or give up the extra pay they make while living in DC
People literally fly into DC from all over the country to work in govt agencies and when they retire, they get DC salary but live in Tampa or ATL or Charlotte. It’s a giant scam

Leftists routinely hire leftists and exclude conservatives in the hiring and promotion process.
Many agencies actually have affirmative action departments, which allows people who couldn’t spell the word cat to draw a large salary. If you’re a straight white male who isn’t a Comey-level fairy, it’s an uphill fight.

The website immediately after Trump was elected was for jobs with the transition team, not jobs for the civil service.
90% of all civil service jobs are done through and pursuant to the Pendleton Civil Service Act and aren't Presidential appointees LINK There are only a little less than 4000 direct presidential appointments and only about 321 that don't require the advice and consent of the Senate. LINK
As mentioned by another poster, about 1/3 of the civil service positions are unionized. They are not at will employees

How is this any kind of scam? I know car mechanics and Wall Street lawyers who retired to Florida, frequently for taxes but also because the weather makes old age thins like arthritis and blood pressure easier to manage.
