 Why the Trump administration has so many vacancies

The process is bogged down by the involvement of top White House officials, turf wars and an inexperienced and overworked staff.

Hundreds of key jobs across the federal government remain vacant as a result of an overworked White House personnel office that is frustrating Cabinet secretaries and hampering President Donald Trump’s ability to carry out his ambitious legislative agenda.

The process is bogged down as a result of micromanaging by the president and senior staff, turf wars between the West Wing and Cabinet secretaries and a largely inexperienced and overworked staff, say more than a dozen sources including administration insiders, lobbyists, lawyers and Republican strategists.

I wish they were ALL vacant

The only uniformity is that potential hires must show fealty to the president. One person close to the White House said a sense of “paranoia” has taken over amid fears that disloyal hires might undercut Trump’s agenda or leak to the press.

First off Polutico, if you bothered to do any investigating you would have found that the President stated he wasn't going to fill 90% of these 500+ positions in an effort to cut the size of the govt'. Secondly this unnamed source you use discusses the leaking staff problem as paranoia when we have proof positive there were leaks all over the place. Also except for Bush II, all Presidents demand fealty to themselves.

It's not paranoia if you're really being followed.

Thanks for posting.  Very interesting (and a bit disquieting)
