Original Note:
While Trump as president has the authority to fire the political appointees, career employees in the federal government cannot be fired arbitrarily. They are protected under laws like the Civil Service Reform Act, which requires cause and a specific process for termination. https://www.gao.gov/products/fpcd-80-38#:~:text=The%20Civil%20Service%20Reform%20Act,from%20unfair%20or%20unwarranted%20practices
