Well, you did notice that it was not published by a respectable publication. It's BS.

And President Trump, you are dead to me.
I'm sorry this is happening to you.

Yet, Dear Leader, retweeted it.

Bingo! Also completely lacking in compassion. That Op Ed shows contempt for Federal workers as much as anything else. Trump is too gutless to say all that himself, but he has no problem re-tweeting it. What a sorry loser!

What that op ed said is probably true about sabotage and them working against Trump's agenda. The federal workforce is the essence of the deep state and their loyalty is to the deep state which is left wing and globalist in nature vs supporting the American people and American interests.

About the trade wars, ultimately we will prevail over China and Mexico. Only the globalists support unfair trade agreements designed to benefit other countries at our expense and to redistribute our wealth to the rest of the world.

I tend to have a positive view of local employees and a very negative view of state workers (especially DMV, etc) and MOST federal workers. The only federal agencies I have a positive opinion of are the National Park Service, the BORDER PATROL, the CIA (maybe because it doesn't operate on US soil), the military and ICE.. I used to be more positive on the DEA and ATF but the more I learn about them and their history the more I've grown to despise them especially as I learn more and more about what happened in Waco, how the DEA and FBI collaborated with the Mexican drug cartels, how the ATF and FBI massacred those innocent children in Waco, etc.

I also especially hate the EPA for all the American jobs they've destroyed through overregulation and the Dept of Education over common core and liberal brainwashing. The liberals are all about top down control hence their love for the federal government. They hate local police and are also trashing them such as with Ferguson, Baton Rouge, Baltimore etc though no local PD has done anything close to what the ATF and FBI did in Waco and at the Oregon wildlife refuge. NO corporation has done what the federal government did at Wounded Knee. I also sincerely believe elements of the deep state carried out the shooting attack in Las Vegas to promote their agenda and weaken President Trump.

When I lived in Maryland I hated the state government and its own bloated bureaucracy but back here in Louisiana I'm generally satisfied with the state government and am glad that certain things like the DMV are contracted out and thus work better and saves the taxpayers money.

Individual 1 supporters always find an organization or person to hate as long as they fall in line with Individual 1's extreme views.

The extreme right gets more extreme by the day. Now they want to disband the FBI. They have lost all credibility.

Fox News Legal Analyst Wants To Disband And Replace The FBI To Protect Trump

Quote:
Jarrett has previously called the FBI “America’s secret police” and said the Mueller investigation is “illegitimate and corrupt.”

Former U.S. attorney Chuck Rosenberg, who has served in the FBI, slammed Jarrett’s comments as “deeply wrong” on MSNBC on Tuesday.

“They’re offensive. They’re malicious. And they undermine the work of the men and women of the FBI. It really breaks my heart to hear it,” he told Brian Williams, according to Mediaite.“It is time that the FBI be halted,” Gregg Jarett said

Here is more rhetoric from 2 extreme right Individual 1 supporter

Coulter and Limbaugh Keep Pressure Up on Trump to Keep Government Closed

Quote:
On his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh said the president was “getting ready to cave” on getting money for the wall in the budget.“It’s a textbook example of what the drive-by media calls compromise,” Limbaugh said. “Trump gets nothing, and the Democrats get everything, including control of the House.”
Quote:
Coulter, during a podcast on the Daily Caller, said Trump’s White House would become “a joke presidency that scammed the American people” if he didn’t build the wall, adding that “he’ll have no legacy whatsoever.” She also wrote a scathing column about the president and launched a flurry of criticisms on Twitter.

Individual 1 is not the US president. He is the president to his base. Another reason he will serve 1 term if Mueller doesn't get him first or he will go down as the worst president in history.
