"The Trump administration moved on Friday to weaken federal prohibitions on government employees showing support for President 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.
Visible support for candidates and their campaigns in the future is still banned, but support for the current officeholder is not. ...it threatens to further politicize the government’s professional work force, which Mr. Trump has been seeking to bend to his will as he tests the bounds of executive power.
...Allowing the workplace display of support comes as Mr. Trump takes steps to drastically increase the number of political appointees in the federal government, which would allow presidents to install more loyalists in senior positions — the very thing the authors of the Hatch Act sought to prevent."

Government employees will not be required to wear MGA paraphernalia, but not wearing it could raise eyebrow.
The famous hats might be too much to wear around all day long, perhaps they could design a MAGA armband, and maybe a MAGA salutation?
