Civil service

While many reporters see the democrats as Trumps great nemesis, the hidden enemy is the life time civil servants who work in places like the state department and the VA. These people refer to the incoming administration people as Christmas help, knowing that they will only be around for a few years and gone into the history books. They know that they can’t be fired, thanks to civil services rules and so they work quietly behind the scenes to maintain the status quo. They tend to be liberals because they know that every time Republicans take control they threaten to cut government jobs and when the Democrats take over they tend to increase government. This is the reason why for years elected officials have promised to fix the VA and nothing happens. Trump has had some experience in this area when he dealt with the unions in NY city but this will be a real challenge and if I had to bet, I would bet on those minions who are entrenched in the system.
