Donald Trump on Schedule F Executive Order: ‘To Drain the Swamp We Need to Fire the Swamp’
Breitbart ^ | 23 Jul 2022 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Posted on 07/24/2022 3:40:40 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump, at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit, will speak about his schedule F executive order, which would allow him to “drain the swamp” by firing the swamp, according to Trump’s prepared remarks provided in advance of his speech to Breitbart News.

“To drain the swamp, we need to fire the swamp. With schedule F, I took executive action to make it possible to fire federal employees who are bypassing our democracy to advance wokeism and corruption,” Trump plans to say.

“We now need Congress to institute historic reforms to permanently empower the President to root out the Deep State, and ensure that any bureaucrat who is corrupt, incompetent, or unnecessary can be told, ‘You’re fired,’” the former President will assert.

Trump’s remarks will come one day after an Axios report claimed Trump is planning to use the executive order to fire close to 50,000 government bureaucrats if he gets reelected in 2024.

As Breitbart News detailed:

If reelected in 2024, Trump is planning to cut about 50,000 administrative state employees to rein in unelected technocrats in federal government agencies that have great influence over policies impacting American workers, according to the outlet.

The term administrative state specifically describes the phenomenon of unaccountable and unelected administrative agencies exercising power to create and enforce their own rules.

The administrative state uses its rule-making ability to essentially usurp the separation of powers between the three branches of government by creating a so-called fourth branch of government not created by the Constitution. Nearly 2 million federal government employees in federal agencies make up the administrative state. Trump has referred to the administrative state as the “swamp.”

Trump signed the schedule F executive order before leaving office in 2021, but President Joe Biden cancelled the executive order when he took office in January

“This very week, the White House has even threatened to declare a NATIONAL EMERGENCY. But we don’t have a CLIMATE Emergency, we have an ENERGY emergency—caused by their climate fanaticism,” Trump will say.

They are going to kill Trump before the election. Wait for it.

The mob killed Kennedy but they had help on the inside.

The inside will go it alone on this one.

Epoch Times had a great article on Schedule F, executive order about three weeks ago.

A GOP controlled congress will NEVER go along with this. They love the Swamp.

“Should have in his first term”.

That’s easier said than done.

Executive Orders can control the Executive Branch, right?

Don’t ask Congress to write legislation. Just do it. First day.

One of the things that he will have to do in order to do that, is to declare that he will not comply with any court order except the SCOTUS. Make his enemies appeal up the ladder. End the use of lower court’s ability to issue injunctions against the elected government.

“ Executive Orders can control the Executive Branch, right?”

If the President is Donald Trump?

Wrong.

I also do not think Trump was fully cognizant of the depth and breath of the swamp. I think the obvious and open theft of the election opened his eyes. I think before that time he thought he could work with some democrats.

Well said. I think you are exactly right on every point.

Not only is the swamp deep and wide, but they have also covered their asses in every conceivable way. They have all bases covered.

It took him all the way up till near the 2020 election to come up with it. He had been trying to figure out how to do it all along.
