"All of the appointees need to realize it's not about them. It's not their policy. They need to shut up and salute. If you can't work for the president of the United States and his policies, or her policies in the future, then what you have to do is get out of the way because I don't have any patience for these people who don't like the policy or don't want to implement the policy."
"I think every single person who works in the federal government should sign up to implement the president's policy, and if it's a Democrat or a Republican, you have to implement the policy. But we have too many people with big egos in Washington that somehow think they get to stop the policy, or I have an opinion that matters."
"President Trump is somebody who in private wants to hear everyone's opinion. He works to make sure there is a diverse opinion, that people talk it out, fight it out, argue it out in front of him, and then he makes a decision, and when you leave that room, everyone should go implement it."
Ric Grenell, Trump's Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, responded to Joe Kent's resignation as director of the National Counterterrorism Center by stating that federal appointees must prioritize implementing the president's policies over personal objections. Grenell emphasized that government employees should either fully commit to executing presidential directives or resign, arguing that individual opinions and egos should not obstruct policy implementation. He noted that while Trump encourages diverse viewpoints during private deliberations and decision-making processes, once decisions are made, all staff members must implement them uniformly. Grenell contended that appointees should not accept positions unless they are willing to fully support and execute the administration's policies.
