Recent investigations and a new report reveal a portion of the federal workforce, whose income is paid by tax revenue, are openly resisting President Donald Trump’s efforts to rein in illegal immigration, reform the education system and other agenda items supported by his voters.
Yes America, there are federal bureaucrats paid by your tax dollars who are openly thwarting President Donald Trump’s agenda. The proof is captured in both video footage and an explosive new survey that confirms Democrat-leaning government executives believe they are part of “The Resistance.”
The Napolitan Institute survey conducted by pollster Scott Rasmusen and released last week found that just 16% of government managers who voted for Kamala Harris last November would follow a legal order from Trump if they disagreed with it.
And 76% of federal government managers who voted for Harris declared they will resist the Trump administration.
The findings were so stark that the Napolitan Institute’s Rasmussen concluded “the Administrative State is not composed of thoughtful, nonpartisan experts who are making neutral decisions for voters.”
“The deep partisan divide within the federal bureaucracy and the shifting public opinion present significant challenges for the current administration,” Rasmussen said.

The undercover investigative reporting outlet Project Veritas has released a series of videos showing what the resistance looks and sounds like in federal workers’ own words.
On April 1, Project Veritas posted videos of employees from both NASA and the State Department who openly admitted on undercover videos to defying Trump’s orders on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Trump, who signed a series of executive orders targeting DEI programs within government, has repeatedly criticized such programs, asserting that they remove merit from the equation, which reduces the quality of workforce and product.
In one Project Veritas video, State Department foreign service officer Anthony Abate was quoted as saying, “they like canceled DEI stuff, but people just like did it and called it something else,” opting for terms like “multicultural activities” and “team building.”
