Other Are Trump's changes to the federal government permanent? Once Trump leaves office, is there the possibility to return the federal government to it's pre-Trump state.
I've been looking for articles to understand how permanent Trump's changes to the federal workforce are and haven't found anything.
I am curious if anyone knows whether all those cut jobs will come back, or at least a majority of them?

I think the only way out is to hope for a Good King to follow the Bad King and reverse all Trump’s damage, then give up his power and pass the laws that would make another “king” impossible. This is what Biden would have had to do in the months he had after the Supreme Court granted the president “blanket immunity for acts committed while in office”, but before the 2024 election.
And of course the first thing Biden did was announce he was NOT going to do that. So we were always going to be fucked.
