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 impact could go well beyond typical conservative targets such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Internal Revenue Service,” the report explained. “Trump allies are working on plans that would potentially strip layers at the Justice Department — including the FBI, and reaching into national security, intelligence, the State Department and the Pentagon, sources close to the former president say.”
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.”
Before Trump left office in 2021, he signed an executive order (EO) to reclassify federal government employees into Schedule F, which would have allowed the president to enhance accountability and job performance within the bureaucratic agencies.
“Unfortunately, the Government’s current performance management is inadequate, as recognized by Federal workers themselves,” the EO reads. “For instance, the 2016 Merit Principles Survey reveals that less than a quarter of Federal employees believe their agency addresses poor performers effectively.”

GOOD and purge every single commie in the DOJ as well as the FBI..we need a MASSIVE PURGE the more the merrier
Something he was urged to do within weeks of his 1st term......it was called CLEAN HOUSE!
He won’t be fooled again...
Its my opinion that in 2016, Trump both “trusted” Federal Government (in a general sense) and that he could control rogue apparatchiks and agencies through the force of his personality.
I assume now he is disabused of both of those notions.
saw an interesting post from a former hedge fund manager
Trump is Nixon
Biden is Carter
Destanis is Reagan.
I think he was talking about terms and not that Trump was a crook. Biden is worse than Carter.
I agree that these things are cyclical.
The Kenyanesian Usurper stuffed our government, ALL agencies, FULL of communists.
A purge is needed if we are to remain a free country.
“Plots”?
Did the author actually think this is a good word choice?
Seems pejorative, maybe Plans or Intends might have been better?
In any case this would be THE BEST reason to see Trump elected!
MAGA!
The pro purge people can’t go far enough as far as I’m concerned. I want the purging to be brutal and widespread. No mercy. Do what the Romans did to Carthage.
His biggest mistake was not doing it on Jan 20, 2017.
Currently the biden administration has the whole federal bureaucracy enlisted to get out the vote for democrats.
This is the kind of news that will ensure that in 2024 the entire federal bureacracy will be out to destroy Trump
again, I dont think he is talking characteristics. He is talking terms.
A good start on Day 1; Next purge the DOJ and FBI TOP TO BOTTOM! Court Martial Milley-Vanilli and rid the DOD of ANY WOKE personnel!
I can’t wait till Trump is back in charge... he’s gonna clean that house like it’s never been cleaned before!!
Has needed it long time ago.... and Trump is the man... he’s about as fed up as we are!!
Trump needs to give orders from the White House. To hell with using an attorney general who will betray him. He needs to “bush hog” ALL the overgrown “weeds” across Washington DC.
You mean like pudding head is purging Trump appointed immigration judges right now?
