  • There's at least one thing Americans widely agree on about President Donald Trump: they think he's changing the way the government works. But they're more split on whether that's for the better or worse.

The article from MSN discusses a survey by the Partnership for Public Service and Boston Consulting Group which reveals that a significant portion of Americans believe former President Donald Trump has fundamentally changed the way the U.S. government operates. The survey indicates a divide in public opinion regarding the impact of these changes, particularly on the federal workforce. While 44% of respondents felt that Trump's policies led to necessary cuts in the federal workforce, 39% believed these cuts were excessive, potentially harming government efficiency. Additionally, there's a noted increase in public concern over the politicization of the civil service, with many feeling that the government's operations have become more partisan under Trump's influence. The survey also touches on the broader implications of these changes, suggesting that the public perceives a shift in government functionality, with opinions split on whether these changes have been beneficial or detrimental.
