That's the beauty of it. Trump (and his benefactors) learned in his first term that he needs to get rid of the "deep state", ie functioning, rule and law based, institutions, at his next attempt. The buraucracy gave too much resistance to his push for ignoring laws, ignoring elections. That is why this time his administrstion started dismantling any state institution they could the minute he came to power again. Instutions he needs functioning somewhat have been the target of rapid replacement of people. The main criterion: That the next guy does not care about law and procedures and is loyal to the leader especially when it comes to a complete overthrow of the constitution, at least functionally. That is not hyperbole btw, it's what is actually happening right now. You can guess to the next step or why this is done.
