This isn't 'breaking norms,' this is what Ds do every time they get in the White House - purge all Rs that serve at the pleasure of the President - about 4000 executive branch positions. Trump's biggest fuck up was not doing the same to the Ds when he came in. Bush Jr. made the same mistake. This is why we have a traitorous deep state, they're 90% Clinton or Obama appointees, or partisans hired by those Clinton or Obama appointees.
