A number of key federal agencies have seen their staff numbers decrease under the Trump administration, according to a report from The Washington Post.
The Post reported that every Cabinet agency has seen their permanent staff numbers shrink under Trump, with the exception of the departments of Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and Interior.
The staff cuts represented a fulfillment of President Trump's campaign promise to make cuts in the federal bureaucracy and reverse former President Obama's hiring expansion.
Trump is set to announce new cuts as part of the 2019 budget, which is aimed at decreasing the deficit to pay for the recently passed GOP-backed tax law.

Interior can do lots of cuts....forest service, fish and wildlife, bureau of land management just as a start.
