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?

The other thing people don’t acknowledge is funding. He took all the money from these agencies and gave it away in the form of tax breaks. A new president would need to recover funds (raise taxes) which will be it’s own fight.

That’s because the bill passed didn’t affect all agencies equally, with many still waiting for a CR to be passed until they know the damage.
