Trump told the CPAC audience:
As we secure the border, another key priority for the next Congress and the next President will be to drain the swamp once and for all to remove rogue bureaucrats and root out the deep state. Congress should pass groundbreaking reform empowering the president to ensure that any federal employee who is corrupt, incompetent, or unnecessary for the job can be told, “You’re fired.” You ever heard that? You’re fired.

Trump’s comments come after recent reports asserted Trump would use his Schedule F executive order to fire nearly 50,000 government bureaucrats if he returns to the White House in 2024. Trump seemingly confirmed these reports when he referenced the executive order in a recent speech at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit last month.
Trump complained that the current process to remove a federal bureaucrat from their post is a lengthy process that takes an average of five years:
Our current appeals process to remove these bureaucrats, people that can really be bad, they can even be thieves. You can catch them stealing large sums of money. You have to go through a three stage appeals process, which takes on average five years per stage. 15 years you’ll be gone; you’ll be out of office by then.

Although Trump has hinted at, but not officially announced, a 2024 presidential run, he would have the majority support of Republicans, according to a straw poll conducted at CPAC in Dallas.
Trump won a massive 69 percent of the vote, which was 45 percent higher than the next closest challenger, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who received just 24 percent support among CPAC attendees.
The top floors at DOJ and FBI need to be cleared out with a fire hose.
Don’t think the author understands just how deep and entrenched the deep state is. There are aspects of the deep state that even being POTUS cannot do anything with or even remotely touch. When there are levels of security clearances above that which the POTUS has, that should tell you and us all we need to know......
Do they need volunteer enforcers?
Civil Service laws exist to prevent exactly this.
He can “not appoint” positions, but when it comes to the traditional staff—that literally would take an act of Congress.
First you have to define “Deep State”.
“Deep State” AKA “The Swamp” is the $3 trillion UNCONSTITUTIONAL portion of the federal government.
A SERIOUS effort to “root out the Deep State” would be doing whatever it takes to dismantle that $3 trillion unconstitutional portion of the feds which would mean FIRING hundreds of thousands of officials, bureaucratic heads, and government workers sending them packing.
Don’t weep for them. Economic recovery would happen so quickly that they’d all find work soon enough.
Many believe the over 80K new IRS “investigators” will be solely used to increase income tax compliance. DON’T BELIEVE THAT!! There will be THOUSANDS OF NEW LOUIS LERNERS targeting conservative churches and nonprofits. THEY WILL BE OUT TO SILENCE US AND FINANCIALLY DESTROY US.
Go to war with the deep state. Total war. Rip them out root and branch. It’s our only hope.
Would sure like to hear more about how that would actually be done. Because with out that - how different will things be? Just putting new cabinet heads in place accomplishes nothing. A lot more deep state jobs need to be political rather than civil service.
Trump already saved us. Now he has to save the world. He’d be the best SOS ever because he makes so much sense. Realign the world.
The POTUS job would be a distraction like being a defensive end. You have to hold the edge before doing anything else. Being SOS he can be free to rush the passer. DeSantis can deal with domestic stuff-those are details.
I like your idea.
SHRINK THE BEAST.
It really needs to be Job #1 because its the weapon the Left uses to wield control over us.
Hold all government employees accountable to their oath to defend the constitution. Charge all with treason who fail.
All levels of security clearances answer to the president.
Nope. We aren't already saved.
America First. Trump 2024.
Or a flame thrower.
Kennedy thought about dismantling the CIA..........
I wish someone would've told Trump that.
All too often he acted like he was powerless to fire people.
It’s our only hope.

Absolutely right. Take their funding away and their power will evaporate. cut out the duplication, overlap, redundancy and waste — and then cut some more.
If we can’t do this there is no chance of ever restoring the republic.
Do not vote for anyone who is not totally committed to reining in big government.
Umm, no. That is conventional thinking that has been disproven.
Again, there are security clearances higher than that of POTUS. There is and are secrets in this country held at those clearances that the POTUS has no access to, period.
