American Greatness ^ | 01/14/2025 | AG Staff

A poll conducted by RMG Research reveals a startling number of federal government managers who say they will actively oppose the incoming administration when Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20.

The Daily Signal reports that RMG Research polled three separate segments of the population including what it calls the “Elite 1%” with postgraduate degrees, earning more than $150,000 annually and live in highly populated areas, “Main Street Americans” who represent roughly 75% of the U.S. population and, finally, federal managers who live near the nation’s Capital city and earn $75,000 or more annually.

When asked if they would most likely be supporting or resisting the Trump administration over the next four years, government managers were almost evenly sp

They already stay at home everyday. We just gotta stop sending them money and move on.

i expect the order to go back to offices will prune away many of the deadbeat saboteurs-to-be.

That tells us that approximately 1/2 of federal employees can be eliminated. But that’s just the start.

Musk has suggested that automation and AI will significantly reducing the need for large bureaucratic workforces.

I would say that these soon-to-be unemployed bureaucrats need to learn to code, but AI will also transform that profession.

“firing some one is probably a long drawn out process.....”

I don’t know who in his administration handles HR stuff, but when I was in HR, eliminating an entire position often was a good tool for taking out the trash. Then if you needed someone in that position, just wait three months, reclassify and rename the position, and advertise it.

Since the fed workforce is seriously overstaffed, this could be handy. Probably no need to fill it at all.

That’s what Reagan’s air traffic controllers thought, too.

I certainly hope anyone actively opposing DJT is summarily dismissed. People like them just need to go...

The chief law enforcement officer of the country can do just that

Particularly a convicted felon

Here is his mug shot for reference

“Transfer them.to difficult duty stations in areas that don’t like them”

Defunding and shutting down programs and entire agencies will end th associated jobs. When a company closes a union factory, and moves the jobs to China, the union employees of the closed factory don’t stay on the payroll. When a retail store chain closes a location, the union workers at that location become unemployed. When a large corporation shuts down an unprofitable business unit, the employees lose their jobs.

The goal is not to fire a few obstructionists and malcontents. The goal is to make deep cuts in government spending by eliminating entire functions and departments in order to restore fiscal responsibility. As billions are saved through permanent termination, shutdown and closures, the unproductive and disruptive workers will go away as a side benefit of the process.

The other half will also resist but won’t openly admit it. The District of Corruption voted 6% for Trump.

Great, a list of who to terminate first.

I was in a union and while most members were awesome, there were a few that were just staggeringly entitled - people who stumbled into their job and somehow thought their unqualified and unintelligent selves were top tier. I saw one fall greatly and while a little sad for him, I was happy to have had a front row seat. He was vicious and was stepped on in a way I couldn’t have even imagined. It literally took my breath away.

Can only summarily dismiss a Federal employee for cause. Fraud and misuse of funds attacking a co-worker can be grounds, but even then, it is not easy.

The key to firing an employee is to eliminate the position they fill. Eliminating a position is not as simple as eliminating one position, but it can be done through budgeting. After the war, many wartime positions were eliminated in the DOD.

Trump's appointees, including the DOD, should face budget cuts in the first year around 15%. They can use that to get rid of positions and people. DOD should spend less on civilian workers and more on recruits and weapons. When I first entered the service, our department had two GS employees. They were experts with degrees in accounting. Similar offices are now totally staffed with civilians. In some cases civilians are cheaper because of where the money for their billet comes from. But they are impossible to get rid of if they are a waste of oxygen.

Greenland is a much cooler place for miscreants.

This will only lead to disunity within the ranks & I don’t think the president will or should put up with it if he wants to see his plans succeed. If these dissenters are Biden leftovers (apparently they are) they will add nothing to this administration. The president has rightly called for a new order & this sounds like disorder; the kind we’ve already had 4 years of.

Sure hope this survey was funded by Trump and the individual responses were not anonymous.

Would be an excellent tool to help get rid of Deep State.

“government managers were almost evenly split with 44% saying they would support the administration and 42% saying they would resist.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

42% saying they would resist is a good start on a pink slip list for the DOGE Bros.
