[Mick1]

For the record, the new President took drastic action upon entering office, firing all federal appointees and those reporting directly to them, reaching three levels deep into the management hierarchy. This included upper-level, middle-level, and lower-level managers. Such sweeping dismissals were unprecedented in modern history.

He fired 377,000 federal employees, signing Executive Order 12839, which ordered most federal agencies to reduce the size of their workforce by 4 percent.

I’m not talking about Trump. I’m talking about Bill Clinton. By 1999, the Clinton administration had reduced the size of the federal workforce by 17%, eliminating 377,000 employees.
