Trump is planning to completely drain the swamp in his second term.
Multiple reports have stated that in 2024 Trump plans to fire over 50,000 government employees across several agencies.
Most of the jobs that would be eliminated would be stemmed from the Pentagon and other intelligence agencies.
The Executive Order is rumored to be called Schedule F and Trump previously enacted Schedule F in 2020 right before the election but it never went into effect due to Biden rescinding it.
Schedule F made every “executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States,”.
If Trump runs again, he is planning on firing 50,000+ Gov officials from the Pentagon, DOJ, State Dept, and beyond. He’ll use an Exc Order on day 1 and clean house beyond what any President has ever done. He will thoroughly vet new staff w only “America First” agendas.

The Daily Mail broke the story:
Donald Trump has plans to purge the so-called ‘deep state’ beyond what any president has done before if he runs for and wins the presidency in 2024 and as many as 50,000 government workers could find themselves on the chopping block.
The former president, if elected again, would move in with a plan being drawn up now to ‘drain the swamp’ and cut tens of thousands of civil servants from what are typically apolitical roles, according to an Axios report.
He would clean house of mid-level staffers at the Pentagon, Justice Department, State Department and beyond and bring in thoroughly vetted candidates who were found to be more closely aligned with his ‘America First’ agenda.
After interviews with over a dozen Trump-world insiders the outlet’s investigation found that Trump is planning to use an executive order called ‘Schedule F,’ which he issued in October 2020 and Biden later rescinded.
The order would reclassify tens of thousands of civil servants who were deemed to have some influence over policy as ‘Schedule F’ employees, which would strip them of their employment protections.
New presidents typically replace about 4,000 political appointees to align agencies with their new agenda, but below them are a mass of federal workers who have strong employment protections and typically continue in their role from one administration to the next.
The Trump official who came up with the Schedule F order said it could apply to as many as 50,000 of the some-two million federal workers. Other Trump allies say the figure will not be nearly that high because firing a smaller segment of anti-Trump ‘bad apples’ would be enough to trigger ‘behavior change.’
NEW: Trump is going to promote a “Schedule F” executive order in a speech tonight, saying that if he wins a second term he will take more power for the presidency and use it to purge the federal government of civil servants. https://t.co/p9epOvMWZi

Don Surber had more on the story:
MAGA-nificent news today. The tail will not wag the dog in Donald John Trump’s second presidency.
Trump plans to dump 50,000 Civil Service-protected Democrats who run agencies. The Constitution makes the president the chief executive of the executive branch. Trump plans to do just that.
The Daily Mail reported, “Donald Trump has plans to purge the so-called ‘deep state’ beyond what any president has done before if he runs for and wins the presidency in 2024 and as many as 50,000 government workers could find themselves on the chopping block.
“The former president, if elected again, would move in with a plan being drawn up now to ‘drain the swamp’ and cut tens of thousands of civil servants from what are typically apolitical roles, according to an Axios report.

There is no such thing in Washington, a town where Democrats usually score 90% of the votes in presidential elections.
Obama led an unconstitutional resistance and even planted papers on Donald Trump to trigger the Mueller witch hunt.
Culling the herd of 50,000 bureaucrats should be just the start. Entire agencies should be eliminated.
Sources close to former President Trump say he would immediately reimpose his "Schedule F" executive order if he takes back the White House in the 2024 presidential elections.
