President-elect Donald Trump has thrown out the rulebook for a peaceful transfer of power, instead undetaking a “hostile takeover” of the federal government, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
Having long promised to gut the federal workforce and even eliminate some departments, Trump has foregone many of the norms associated with peacefully taking office. For example, Trump hast yet to meet with the General Services Administration, which is in charge of transferring the control of federal agencies, The Post reported. His transition team also hasn't met with counterparts at any of the federal agencies in Washington.
