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.”

Yes, that’s why you have a Plan B!
So, your solution is to do nothing.
Fire…every…single…federal…employee.
Leave nothing standing, nothing staffed.
The first thing he’d better do is to fire EVERY member of the NSC. This gang of insurrectionists has served as Obama’s Praetorian Guard from 2010 until today.
Yes, this would be a good thing for the country. That is why democrats will fight against it tooth and nail.
He should request resignation letters from each and every swamp creature in the FED.gov
The main article is pure speculation.
I think he’d get more traction saying 500,000
No, not saying HE would care, just documenting my predictions about the comments that the MSM would INSTANTLY make.
Drain the swamp! Can everyone and put in term limits on everything that makes sense.
ALL OF THEM.
Should read “When Reelected”!
halleluiah!!!! should have been done at the beginning of his term.
I hope he doesn’t forget about the “contract employees” in the federal government. They are just as bad, if not worse, in some cases. He won’t ever get rid of the rot if he ignores those.
Trump was BETTER than Reagan!
Trump will be BETTER than TRUMP!
ONLY Trump will do this. No one else will, not DeSantis or anyone else.
ONLY Trump can save our nation.
A modern day George Washington. Only president better than Trump, so far, we will see if that is still true after Trump’s second term.
Trump is the only person who can SAVE the nation Washington birthed.
I think a wise thing for him to do would be to have a full plan with positions to be eliminated people to be targeted agencies to be eliminated and have it fully fleshed out that way should he not be elected there’s a plan already in existence for someone else should they want to bring the deep state under control. Normally it’s not a good idea to tell them what you’re going to do but I suspect that once they know he has something like this in mind they’re going to double down even triple down on their efforts to keep him out of office.
Do you really think McConnell and Ryan were ready to put up
with him doing that?
Please recall they didn’t give him $1.00 for the wall.
If there was a sane person advising Trump, he’d be giving lands back to the states & eliminating any agency that ‘manages’ them for starters. Then go after the unconstitutional ones like Education & Energy.
You don’t get to do nothing when it comes to the left. They are literally implacable. They will push us to our knees or to war. There is no in between. A few more people have to flash to that reality before anything can be done if anything is ever done. Tell me how one makes a plan in this situation? How do you oppose a group which cheats and wipes their collective ass with the constitution. Which twists and distorts reality to serve themselves politically? Do you have some kind of plan?
A gigantic courtesy flush.
