Abstract

A professional civil service resting on principles of merit is widely considered an essential and well-established feature of modern government. Nevertheless, the foundation of merit upon which the U.S. federal service is erected is not secure. Indeed, the system is quite fragile. It presumes the presence of a President who understands and is committed to the concept of merit and who has the political will to secure its preservation. This fact was made abundantly clear during the Presidency of Donald J. Trump from January of 2017 to January of 2021. This article describes events during the Trump Presidency that illustrate the fragility of the merit system in the U.S. federal government.

功绩的脆弱性：特朗普执政时期公共服务基础的侵蚀

以任人唯贤为原则的专业公务员制度被广泛认为是现代政府的基本和完善的特征。然而，美国联邦政府赖以建立的功绩基础并不稳固。事实上，这个体系相当脆弱。它假定有一位总统在场，他理解并致力于功绩的概念，并有政治意愿确保这一概念得到维护。在2017年1月至2021年1月唐纳德·j·特朗普担任总统期间，这一事实变得非常清楚。本文描述了特朗普总统任期内发生的事件，这些事件说明了美国联邦政府绩效制度的脆弱性。
