The firings are a move not to reduce the size of the workforce but to get rid of people the administration sees as not on board with its goals.

Summary

The Trump administration is set to fire hundreds of senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees this week, targeting those seen as obstacles to its policies.

The firings follow broader workforce reductions that began Friday night, affecting FEMA, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

High-ranking career officials, including Senior Executive Service and GS-15 employees, are expected to be removed.

Trump is actually delivering what his voters expected, run the country like CEO, firing VPs and managers who he doesn’t like and hire those who will do what to be told.
This speaks to fundamental a lack of imagination of American society, rich CEO is the only model for American dream.
Success of capitalism taking over every corner of the society is probably the main reason. also the short history is another reason, as once you have a few bloody cycles of dynasties and folk lore about bad kings and deeper variety of inspirational characters, the society will be more resilient.
