I think you are whistling in the dark, my friend.
I see that the employees are earning federal benefits, and partake in the federal retirement savings plan...to do so, they must be federal employees and as such, are within reach of the Trump administration. It is a National Park, administered...
it’s a federal entity with its own board and budget, accountable to Congress but designed to be financially self-sustaining and manage the Presidio’s lands and buildings for public benefit.

Big treework she's into there. Nice little show.
