Donald Trump has plans to purge the so-called 'deep state' beyond what any president has done before if he runs for and wins the presidency in 2024 and as many as 50,000 government workers could find themselves on the chopping block.

50,000 out of 4 million!
Good start but not that serious.
Sorry dude but I only give a shite about babies being murdered.
You gave everyone a guaranteed job and a raise, including the Taliban.
I’m all MAGA but that lies in us, not a celebrity turned politician turned spokesperson...
WONDERFUL!!! Average pay $115,000 USD. 5.6 BILLION DOLLARS
50,000. On day one. More to follow.
Liberal fear propaganda. I never in my 82 years seen anyone feared like liberal, progressive, communists fear Trump.
He can start with all the department secretaries and their staff.
President Trump almost got it started during his first term.

That needs to be done to right the books, regardless of who is in power.
The article says he wants to reclassify some Civil Service positions to Political Appointee positions.
Once they are appointees, they can be axed.
That needs to be done to right the books, regardless of who is in power.
But only 50,000?
Try 500,000.
I’ll be sending Trump my resume. Too many of the judges that he appointed were RINOs.
Excellent! He also needs to shut down all kinds of executive agencies. Eliminate Homeland Security and let the agencies go back to individual agencies who talk to each other.
During transition he should ask for the resignation of every single appointed position.
Good.
Can’t do it.
Congress passed laws giving these employees all kinds of protections.
Whoever is saying Trump will do this is barking at the moon UNLESS .....
UNLESS the GOP is behind Trump and that means a filibuster proof Senate majority.
All these howling blustered numbnuts yelping about Trump made “poor personnel choices” in his presidency, they don’t understand DC, the Swamp.
What can be done are RIFs = Reductions in Force. But RIFs are general and not specific. And the federal workforce has a say in how it’s done. Which means Swamp lizards will still be there after the RIF.
That’s why a GOP needs to be a Trump GOP. If we have a MAGA Party, that if filibuster-proof, then Trump can pull it off.
I’m not trying to be a spoiler, I’m being a realist.
The thing to understand is Trump as a private sector CEO had huge choices to structure a workforce as he saw fit. But Trump as a government CEO is restricted. He has power over his political appointees but not the general federal workforce.
US Attorneys are appointed, so they can be fired.
The reality of the federal workforce is that the “managers” have all promoted each other to the top, they cover for each other. And the Democrats together with RINOs kiss the butts of these “managers” to “expedite “, make certain things a priority, such as prosecute Steve Bannon for giving them a middle finger salute.
Etc. How DC works. Hate it.
Used to be federal workers earned much less than private workers. Now it’s opposite. And feds know how to double dip, triple dip etc.
As a former federal employee, and an AFGE union 1st level,
I SURE THE HECK HOPE HE DOES!!!
50,000 isn’t gutting. It isn’t even a waxing. It is barely a manscaping to get rid of some of the wild fuzz
A band-aid on a gunshot wound.
Trump will have to drop the Big One to repair the ship of state.
If legislation set up the agency, legislation will have to be passed to shut it down.
Please shut down the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the FBI. Fire Dr. Fauci, and the
management of NIH and all of those agencies that
foisted the phony vax on America.
