Those little lapel buttons....

The US administration "moved on Friday to weaken federal prohibitions on government employees showing support for trump while at work, embracing the notion that they should be allowed to wear campaign paraphernalia and removing an independent review board’s role in policing violations.

The Office of Special Counsel, an agency involved in enforcing the restrictions, announced the changes to the interpretation of the Hatch Act, a Depression-era law devised to ensure that the federal work force operates free of political influence or coercion. The revisions, a resurrection of rules that trump rolled out at the end of his first term but that President Joseph R. Biden Jr. repealed, could allow for the startling sight of government officials sporting trump-Vance buttons or “Make America Great Again” hats.""

 

The permissions do not extend to other political figures. So supporters are free to show their support in the workplace, and when dealing with the public. Those who do not support the President politically won't be wearing said party lapel badges.
