Since World War II, only one president significantly shrunk the federal workforce during stable times. He sounded a little like Trump—but he was a Democrat.

President Donald Trump’s administration has started cutting thousands of jobs from the federal workforce as part of a larger effort to shrink the size of the federal government. Workers at some federal agencies have been warned that sweeping workplace layoffs are coming.
