As the administration continues to remake the federal bureaucracy to President Trump’s liking, the Office of Personnel and Management has developed an intensive new training program for those aspiring to join the Senior Executive Service, the upper echelon of government employees.
Per an OPM memo, obtained first by RealClearPolitics, the syllabus includes course work grounded in the U.S. Constitution, “Founding ideals of our government,” and Trump’s own executive orders.
The development program requires 80 hours of video-based training and culminates in two days of in-person training in Washington, D.C. It will affect government employees across the administration and disparate agencies and go live this September. The stated goal: “Ensure that SES officials uphold the Constitution and the rule of law and effectively serve the American people.”
This is the latest effort in the ongoing campaign to crush what the White House sees as an unaccountable administrative state. Trump began slashing and burning his way through the agencies as soon as he returned to office, with a particular emphasis on the Senior Executive Service. Normally little-noticed and non-controversial, they are the elite of career civil servants who serve just below presidential appointees and wield tremendous influence over federal levers of power.
To those on the right, this makes the SES the Praetorian Guard of an allegedly rogue bureaucracy that gave the president fits during his first term. Trump officials felt that they were repeatedly thwarted by bureaucrats who either slow walked his agenda or outright refused to implement his policies.
“Either the Deep State destroys America,” Trump declared during his first major rally of his last campaign, “or we destroy the Deep State.”

LMAO, this is genius trolling with a purpose.
Great initiative.
Now create the mandatory training for Congress Critters.
Start by firing 50% of SES.
The wurst 50%…..
At last! I’ve been begging for this for years. Every elected Federal official and all high-level Federal appointees also need to take this — and pass a test on the content!
Pass or Hang.
Make them do it every week.
I think every citizen in the nation would benefit from something like this.
Mr. President, you should make the course available for the public to stream.
going forward, they can never claim ignorance.
Outstanding idea.
The real question is how people like this attain high rank in the .GOV without knowing the Constitution front to back.
“ I think every citizen in the nation would benefit from something like this.
Mr. President, you should make the course available for the public to stream.”
Hillsdale College has offered an excellent online course on the Constitution for several years free of charge.
They ask SES and the like to attend all sorts of training to even get that far so there should be no complaints over this.
That will flush out the pinheads and commies.
Yes! Every American. It should be taught in schools like it used to be.
Such a course isn’t gonna change the perspectives or plans of any Dem operatives.
The level of ignorance is appalling.
So perfect, LOL
They should be mandated to agree with the content of the training, as measured by polygraph.
