In October 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a new class of civil servant that would no longer enjoy civil service protections from firing. The stated reason was to remove incompetents, who can be difficult to fire. The real reason was to eliminate government employees who were insufficiently loyal to Trump’s policies.
Snip
Trump was especially blunt about the executive order’s intent. Here’s what The Washington Post reported him saying shortly after the executive order was issued:
You have a lot of people from past administrations, and they’re civil service. I fired some. I say some, just get rid of them. We had a lot of them come to the floor during the impeachment hoax. You see them coming in with their bow ties and everything. It’s a weird deal. We have some pretty deep-set, deep-seated people—we got a lot of them, and we got rid of a lot of them.

I firmly maintain that the inflation that we are experiencing is due to massive government overspending and poor monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. A significant portion of government spending goes towards employee salaries and benefits. Another sizable amount goes to federal contractors, who are by proxy federal employees. The result is massive debt, business productivity stifling regulations and a concentration of wealth around Washington, DC. Some of the wealthiest counties in the nation surround Washington DC.
Let’s be honest and clear. Government employees do not produce anything. Most have protected employment and cannot be fired. They are a drag on the economy and costs every hardworking American taxpayer in the private sector.
Some recent articles indicate that Trump plans on reclassifying 50,000 federal employees to be non civil service and firing them. I contend that this number is not nearly enough to correct the government and the economy.
50,000 sounds like a staggering number and the deep state will fight this tooth and nail. The leftist media will make this seem like a travesty. A perspective is required to combat this. That begins next week when civilian unemployment statistics will show more than 50,000 people have lost their jobs in July. That will be reported in the media as a figure and not a travesty. I am willing to bet federal employment actually increased in July.
July will mark the beginning of massive unemployment as part of the recession. The people losing their jobs actually contribute to the economy. Those that are employed by government do not. They are the cause of this mess. They face zero consequences. That needs to change. Fire their lazy asses. They need to work in the private sector and face the realities of life. They need to find a way to be productive or starve.
Hacks to the left of me jokers to the right................
What civil “servants”?
The projection is strong with this one.
Gotta start somewhere.
The laws are the way they are because “our elected representatives” wanted it this way.
The ineligible Kenyanesian Usurper stuffed the entire government full of communists.
The Next GOP President Will Replace Civil Servants With Political Hacks, Wreaking Havoc on the Government
$$$$$$$$
As opposed to what we have now???
They have it backwards - Trump wants to fire the hacks
Fixed it.
-PJ
Havoc needs to be wrought on the Regulatory State.
This is only an issue when they don’t like the president doing the “replacing”.
The deep state is already filled with political hacks and it is time their numbers were trimmed.
I saw an interview recently with a WH official working with Sec of State Pompeo on Middle East issues, during the Trump adminstration.
One of the issues he discussed was how the state department did everything they possibly could to undermine both Trump’s policies concerning Israel and the initiative that resulted in the Abraham accords. One of the things the state was extremely irritated with Trump about was that unlike any prior U.S. President and unlike Biden, Trump visited the Western Wall, sometimes referred to as The Wailing Wall. The pro-Palestinian forces in the U.S. hate that because they know the Western Wall is a testament to the thousands of years of Jewish settlement in Jersusalem, and long predating the influx of Arabs in the Muslim era.
Too late.
Obama already did that...........................
Dems always accuse you of what they are doing........................
That’s like some Clintonista who, during the Bent One’s inaugural, complained about jets flying overhead. Another minion comforted him: “That’s OK, they’re OUR jets now”.
So the Libs are complaining that we may replace their political appointees with our political appointees.. 🤣🤣🤣
This is proof that Trump has learned much from his first go-round with the establishment’s administrative state.
He need to bring the wrecking ball then. It appears he is now building a big one for the next time.
Bring back The Spoils System! It would be better than what we have now, which is democrats in damned near every civil service position.
no, Trump has already said he would rid agencies.
in other government words, he will “delete the position”.
therefore, there is no ‘job loss’, it doesn’t exist anymore.
therefore, unless the system has changed, there is no basis for unemployment benefits, since there is no position to employ to!!
After Katrina, the V.A. in New Orleans did that to 3500 of its employees, including me.
Well, I’ll be sending Trump my resume.
