47's plan to replace career govt. employees with his loyalists

[planosteve]

Donald Trump believes that many are “rogue bureaucrats” in a mythical deep state. “They’ve got to be held accountable,” Trump has said. “They’re destroying this country. They’re crooked people. They’re dishonest people.”

The former president plans to revive the spoils system by firing as many as 50,000 careerists and replacing them with loyalists. He also plans to move 100,000 federal jobs out of Washington, D.C. Forced relocations in the past resulted in many workers choosing to leave federal service rather than uproot their families.

The plan is spelled out in Project 2025 (which Trump says he has “nothing to do with,” despite his ties to many of the project’s authors) and a bill in the House of Representatives, the Public Service Reform Act. It would allow the president or his appointees to fire any federal worker “for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all.” Employees would have no right to appeal, even if fired because they refused to break a law or execute an unethical order.

The plan has nothing to do with making government work better. The return to cronyism is part of Trump’s strategy to suppress government work that contradicts his often unrealistic and dangerous views.

Ha ha ha!

You’re the one that’s been talking about the deep state..for years!

Now you say it’s “mythical.”

And of course he wants loyal people. After listening to Washington insiders (deep staters) when hiring people for his first 4 year term, he ended up with traitorous people that wrote negative books about him.

And the many thousands of lifetime employees at the White House..are overwhelmingly leftists and anti Trumpers.

He won’t make that mistake again.

I don't recall ever mentioning a "deep state". Maybe you dreamed it. And I don't believe there are "many thousands" of lifetime employees at the White House. Maybe you dreamed that too.
