President Donald Trump is quickly moving to purify the federal government of people who look at his team as unwanted – while seeking revenge against senior former employees believed that his team was not sincere enough in the last time.
On Tuesday, the administration of Mr. Trump sent Email This encouraged federal employees who are not “trusted, loyal, trustworthy” to resign from their jobs – with a promise to pay until September if they do so immediately. Earlier, he moved to the launch of dozens of general inspectors, some employees of the Ministry of Justice, and members of independent agencies such as the National Council for Labor Relations, which may violate federal law. He took steps to Federal employees ’abstraction Protect the job security that they have enjoyed for a long time. He stripped the details of security and permits from some prominent former employees who faced threats to their lives, in a step they viewed as revenge.
The movements are part of a batch at the system level to reshape the federal government with loyalists – even areas that have been traditionally independent of the presidency or employees with non -partisan job civil service employees and which often comes out as the “deep state”.
Why did we write this
In the early measures of President Donald Trump, his goal of reducing the federal government may interfere with efforts in revenge against the imagined enemies. The result is the turmoil in the federal workforce.
The result was a chaotic cycle of uncertainty and anxiety for federal workers. One of the employees of the Ministry of Justice, who asked not to be identified, said that the flood of notes and directives that were sent via email has, “The bad guys take over the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter.”
Chaos may be the point – a tool for thwarting professional civil service employees and persuading them to resign, spoiling the road of Mr. Trump to fill the vast bureaucracy of the government with employees who hold his views in an invisible manner in the last American history. This may be just a beginning, as a number of candidates for Mr. Trump are about to win the Senate’s assertion to take their positions at the top of the various federal agencies of the government.
This includes Russell Fion, Mr. Trump’s candidate for the head of the Administration and Budget Office, who can obtain the approval of the Senate as soon as this week. Mr. Veedt, who served as the Omb It was obtained by propublica Last October.
We want the bureaucrats painfully affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them not to want to go to work because they are increasingly seen as the wicked. “” We want to put them in shock. “
It is not clear which of these orders and movements that will stand in the long run, which may be frustrated by the courts. Multiple lawsuits have already been filed against many of Mr. Trump’s most severe executive orders, and some of the same orders are sufficiently vague so that they left the officials of the agencies that are scrambling to find out what it means.
The Democratic Senator Tim Kane, which includes Virginia, has moved many federal workers, to the Senate Hall on Tuesday night to warn employees of the lack of retirement agreement – on the pretext that since Congress has not been authorized for money in exchange for acquisitions, there is no way for the government to pay this Funds for workers legally if they leave.
“The president has no power to present this offer. There is no element in the budget line to push people who do not appear to work.” He said. “If you accept this offer and resign, it will be difficult for you.”
In fact, speculation arose rapidly about whether the “deferred resignation” offer, which was extended by the Personnel Management Office, has already included a purchase. Those who take the deal will not have to meet the requirements for returning to the new office. and OPM web page He says that the employees who take the offer will not expect to work “except in rare cases that you determine and your agent” during the resignation period until the end of September.
Although some orders may be mysterious, the measures taken by Mr. Trump aim to independence of the undermining agencies are difficult to misuse.
On Friday night, Mr. Trump launched dozens of independent inspectors, which are monitoring those charged with investigating their agencies to ensure the follow -up of the law and moral guidelines. This step seems to have violated a law that requires a 30 -day notice, and made a rare blow from the opposition from Republicans in Capitol Hill. The Senator in Iowa Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Judicial Committee of the Senate, joined his democratic counterpart, Dick Durbin from Illinois, to send a letter warning from the Trump administration that “the law must be followed” with regard to the launch of public inspectors.
The Trump administration also launched the Ministry of Justice officials who worked on the president’s criminal investigations, including professional prosecutors who served in the departments of democracy and the republic. And the United States lawyer in the province of Colombia Ed Martin, a conservative activist for a long time Who helped organize The TROMP preceded “Theft” movement launched an internal review of the office related to January 6, 2021, Capitol Riot.
Mr. Trump also seeks to remove Democrats from various independent commissions, including the National Council for Labor Relations and the Equal Opportunity Committee, Another step that may violate the law.
Since the management of Mr. Trump is looking to purify the government of those who see his team unclear and spend countless situations that his team believes the conflict with the goals of the administration, he also took steps to punish the former administration officials from his first term and who was unprecedented in his eyes. Looking “R to show adequate loyalty.
Mr. Trump has stripped the protection of the secret service from senior former government officials John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Brick Bok, and Anthony Fushi, all of them served during his first term, and all of them face reliable threats to their lives as a result of their work.
“There is only one logical explanation. It was political. This is part of an effort to take revenge,” Mr. Bolton The screen said on monday.

On Tuesday, the newly confirmed defense minister Higseth House stripped retired General Mark Millie of his security details and ordered an investigation into whether the former army chief may face a discount or even criminal charges of misconduct. General Mili held the position of Chairman of the Joint Staff Board of Directors during the era Mr. Trump, who received the blanket amnesty from President Joe Biden shortly before he left his post.
When it comes to possible investigations and trials, Mr. Trump does not seem ready to allow data.
“I passed four years of hell, through this scum that we had to deal with.” I passed four years of hell. She spent millions of dollars in legal fees and won. But I did this in the difficult way. It is really difficult to say that they should not go through it either. “
Some of the former Trump officials are concerned that the revenge campaign may gain steam. Mr. Trump’s option will face the FBI head, Cash Patel, will face his confirmation session on the Senate on Thursday, and it seems that he will likely win a confirmation of the Republican Senate, except for any new examination. Trump’s fierce loyalists, Mr. Patel He threatened to “come after” the mediaHe filed a lawsuit against correspondents on unexpected stories, and it has long argued that the FBI was armed against Mr. Trump. His book for 2023 includes “Governmental Gangsmen”, an appendix that narrates 60 alleged members in “Statle Deep State” – including a number of former Trump officials.
Charles Copeman, former deputy national security adviser to Mr. Trump, was a great for Mr. Batel in the National Security Council, and was included in the list of “deep state” of Mr. Patel. He says that the Trump administration’s movements to strip the former officials of their security details were “pure revenge and revenge” – and fears are just a beginning.
