Seems fine that the bureaucrats to whom executive power is delegated should be answerable to the executive.
It works for red China, why not the USA too?
BTW, it's not Trump we're going to have to worry about. It's the next guy, who will have Trump imprisoned or executed for treason. This one won't be a blunderer, though, and will seize these levers of control much more firmly and competently.
My understanding is that politicians are elected whereas bureaucrats are not.
How very Soviet; installing political commissars to spy on renegades and ensure everyone on the right side of the Politburo^w President.
