The issue that Luddite is pointing out relates to his management and
leadership style. As he pointed out, a management style that may work
in a small, privately owned business will probably not lead to success
in a large, sprawling government organization where everything is
constantly under the microscope and subject to second guessing. If he
alienates congressional Republicans by not keeping them in the loop,
it will become very difficult for Trump to get things done.

Trump's biggest problem may be that he does not have a clue how the
government actually works and he is not going to change US civil
service much. That is the immovable object in DC. Technically they all
work for him but he can't make them do anything they don't want to do
and he can't fire them as long as they show up every day.

I was blown away when I learned that well over 100,000 people are civil
servants working for the Justice Department. What do all those people do?
