I haven’t forgotten, and I never will.
He was the hardest working President in my lifetime, and I’m grateful to President Trump for his efforts to make America great again and drain the swamp. I will remain loyal to him, and I can’t wait to vote for him again in 2024. https://t.co/vU0hm7PPpp pic.twitter.com/u86fA9Btid

One part of the plan involves an executive order that would allow for the immediate firing of federal workers, ending their virtual ‘job-for-life’ status.
This would strip any official who has anything to do with the policy of any real career protections or due process.
Government employees could essentially be fired at will or even on a whim.

“It would strip any official who has anything to do with the policy of any real career protections or due process. Government employees could essentially be fired at will or even on a whim,” a federal worker union official warned, according to the Washington Examiner.
During his first term, Trump had hopes of reforming federal employee hiring and firing processes in order to replace embedded careerists who were slow-walking or thwarting his agenda, but his administration ran into tough resistance from federal unions.
In July, a report noted that Trump and his allies spent the previous several months meticulously planning not only his return to the White House but also a massive overhaul of the federal bureaucracy down to the mid-staff level that could lead to tens of thousands of firings.
According to Axios, whose correspondents spent three months interviewing some two dozen Trump insiders and others familiar with the planning, Trump will reimplement “Schedule F,” an executive order he issued just days before the 2020 election and which was quickly rescinded by President Joe Biden that calls for completely reshaping hundreds of federal agencies.
The plan calls for replacing current bureaucrats with young professionals who are all-in with his “MAGA” agenda. Schedule F formed a new category of federal employees who are in “positions of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character,” and allows for those employees to be replaced following a presidential transition.
“The Federal Government benefits from career professionals in positions that are not normally subject to change as a result of a Presidential transition,” the order says.
The federal government is about to see a major shake-up, and it’s all thanks to Trump’s bold new plan to “drain the swamp”.
If and when he wins, the way the government operates will never be the same.

Are you ready for a massive shakeup of the swamp?
Because that’s exactly what could happen if former President Trump is elected to a second term.
Trump signed an executive order in October 2020, “Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service.”
This established a new employment category for federal employees, allowing the immediate firing of tens of thousands of civil servants who serve in roles deemed to have some influence over policy.
In other words, this gives the president the power to replace them with people more loyal to the “America First” agenda.
Axios confirms:
Trump signed an executive order, “Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service,” in October 2020, which established a new employment category for federal employees. It received wide media coverage for a short period, then was largely forgotten in the mayhem and aftermath of Jan. 6 — and quickly was rescinded by President Biden.
Sources close to Trump say that if he were elected to a second term, he would immediately reimpose it.
Tens of thousands of civil servants who serve in roles deemed to have some influence over policy would be reassigned as “Schedule F” employees. Upon reassignment, they would lose their employment protections.
New presidents typically get to replace more than 4,000 so-called “political” appointees to oversee the running of their administrations. But below this rotating layer of political appointees sits a mass of government workers who enjoy strong employment protections — and typically continue their service from one administration to the next, regardless of the president’s party affiliation.
An initial estimate by the Trump official who came up with Schedule F found it could apply to as many as 50,000 federal workers — a fraction of a workforce of more than 2 million, but a segment with a profound role in shaping American life.
Trump, in theory, could fire tens of thousands of career government officials with no recourse for appeals. He could replace them with people he believes are more loyal to him and to his “America First” agenda.
Even if Trump did not deploy Schedule F to this extent, the very fact that such power exists could create a significant chilling effect on government employees.
It would effectively upend the modern civil service, triggering a shock wave across the bureaucracy. The next president might then move to gut those pro-Trump ranks — and face the question of whether to replace them with her or his own loyalists, or revert to a traditional bureaucracy.
Such pendulum swings and politicization could threaten the continuity and quality of service to taxpayers, the regulatory protections, the checks on executive power, and other aspects of American democracy.
Trump’s allies claim such pendulum swings will not happen because they will not have to fire anything close to 50,000 federal workers to achieve the result, as one source put it, of “behavior change.” Firing a smaller segment of “bad apples” among the career officials at each agency would have the desired chilling effect on others tempted to obstruct Trump’s orders.
They say Schedule F will finally end the “farce” of a nonpartisan civil service that they say has been filled with activist liberals who have been undermining GOP presidents for decades.
Unions and Democrats would be expected to immediately fight a Schedule F order. But Trump’s advisers like their chances in a judicial system now dominated at its highest levels by conservatives.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), who chairs the subcommittee that oversees the federal civil service, is among a small group of lawmakers who never stopped worrying about Schedule F, even after Biden rescinded the order. Connolly has been so alarmed that he attached an amendment to this year’s defense bill to prevent a future president from resurrecting Schedule F. The House passed Connolly’s amendment but Republicans hope to block it in the Senate.
This is a move that could change the very fabric of our government and it’s something that you don’t want to miss.
It would give the government back to the people.
Will Trump be able to reimpose Schedule F and “drain the swamp” or will Democrats and unions be able to stop him?
Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, the fate of the deep state is at stake.
And exactly who is going to expose this massive fraud you speakof??? Some obscure web site? An unknown writer or blogger? Just who and exactly how are they going to convince 300 million people of this ?? Given many citizens short attention span and their disconnect from politics it’s going to be difficult.
Or maybe Trump isn’t as smart about people and politics as everyone seems to think he is. I think he thought he’d blow into office and try to run it like a business or a tv show...and he got his a** handed to him. What is he going to do differently this time around as regards his people/staff selections??
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?
But first, hunt down the leaker and make an example of such scum! (Unless, of course, it was intentional.)
That's why we've got to re-elect President Trump! So he can do all the stuff this time that he said he was going to do the last time but didn't.
Or we can elect Ron DeSantis who is doing all of it right now.
A couple of months? Try 48. He promised to drain the swamp from day one. Not only did he not drain it, it grew, often times with his help.
Do all the stuff he didn’t? How do we know he won’t come up short again?
He said he had the experience the first time . Since he failed the first time, his experience is failure.
The original should have been good enough to pull it off. It wasn’t and fell far short.
We are talking about a small percentage of federal employees who's job entails policy making. None of these employees actually do anything useful. Their job is to liaison with NGOs, corperations, media and other "stake holders" who actually write federal policy.
These are the kind of people who have given us the southern border crisis, the Ukraine crisis, and every other jack up mess we are facing.
It all comes down to accountability. Under the current employment protection system there is no way to remove incompetent or malicious employees who refuse to implement lawful policies enacted by the executive branch.
They can simply impalement their own policy preferences and ignore the policy preferences of the American voters.
Don't worry. If he fails the second time, it'll still be somebody else's fault.
I am pretty sure they already did that.
Dr Oz, Lindsey Graham, McConnell...
You forgot all the Ai, 5G, Biotech (food and medicine), Big Pharma, IoT, Tele-Health, et al that he EO’d. WEF Agenda contributor, of which the above are, Warp Speed.
“This would strip any official who has anything to do with the policy of any real career protections or due process.L
So they’d be just like us regular folk, then.
Good.

Not to be picky but there are only about 8000 SES out of the 2.8 million federal employees in 2021.
ALL SES appointees are useless POS in my opinion.
This will blow your socks off - In 2021, around 18.28 million people were working for state and local governments in the United States.

The biggest swamp in 2023 is Big Pharma’s obvious control over FDA, CDC, and state medical licensing boards.
Trump doesn’t even seem to be aware that that problem exists.
DeSantis is far from perfect, but he does seem to have some idea what has been happening.
As long as Trump claims that his warp speed vaccines have been a great success, I would find it very difficult to vote for him.
Reagan was far better...
And Presidents have limited effect on the economy. Unless the Congress cooperates on issues the President is limited to EO’s which as we have seen get rescinded. And frankly the Supreme Court is unbalanced in it’s current makeup. This country wants middle of the road solutions not extremist idea.
Nothing Trump did was President was extremist in any way. Especially regarding the economy.
I was referring to his Supreme Court stacking. Despite what you may believe Americans are NOT all far left or far right. Many of us want balanced approaches. And the makeup of the Supreme Court at the moment in my opinion is unbalanced. Just as Bidens agenda is to far left and people are not happy with some of what he has put forth. So who ever gets elected President in 2024 they need to understand We the People want balanced pragmatic solutions. No more of this divisive BS. It is not good for this country...period. And Congress needs to hear that message as well.
