Trump opens his mouth and demonstrated rather clearly that he is informed on certain matters.  If that isn't the case, the alternative is more frightening....that he is informed but doesn't care.

I didn't say that departments cannot work with the government.  What I said (and I firmly believe) is that the government heads should not silence the government worker when these departments have information that is entirely contrary to what the "leaders" say.  If the "leader" is saying things that are untrue, these departments should not be silenced.  If elected official is just mistaken, they should have no fears of this correcting system.  The sense is that those who impose silence are simply controlling an important message that they don't like.  We cannot permit our elected officials to act this way.
