Trump is an active participant in the Heritage Foundation plan to summarily fire tens of thousands of career Federal Employees (aka “Schedule F”). That Trump Executive Order targeted non-political career positions for replacement — by conservatives who pass questionnaires that test their “commitment to Trumpism.” Those employees replaced would be fired, without cause.
THIS is how the Authoritarian-state accomplishes their semi-silent take-over.
Architects of this unconstitutional plan have designed it “to commandeer, reshape and do away with what Republicans deride as the ‘deep state’ bureaucracy” … “and replace it with a vision closer to his own.” [aka Trump’s vision, that the Heritage Foundation hands him.]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a collection of policy proposals from The Heritage Foundation to reshape the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.[2][3] Established in 2022, the project aims to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to the District of Columbia to replace existing federal civil servants — whom Republicans characterize as part of the "deep state" — and to further the objectives of the next Republican president.[4] It adopts a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory, a disputed interpretation of Article II of the Constitution of the United States,[5][6] which asserts that the president has absolute power over the executive branch upon inauguration.[3][7]

Personnel change
Project 2025 establishes a personnel database shaped by the ideology of Donald Trump. The project uses a questionnaire to screen potential recruits for their adherence to the project's agenda.[1][90] Throughout his presidency, Trump was accused of removing individuals whom he considered disloyal regardless of their ideological conviction, such as former attorney general William Barr. In the final year of Trump's presidency, White House Presidential Personnel Office employees James Bacon and John McEntee developed a questionnaire to test potential government employees on their commitment to Trumpism; Bacon and McEntee joined the project in May 2023.[91] The project recommends that the future White House Counsel be selected to be "deeply committed" to the "America First" agenda of the future President.[4][33]
Project 2025 is aligned with Trump's plans to fire more government employees than allocated to the president using Schedule F, a job classification established by Trump in an executive order in October 2020. Although the classification was rescinded by Biden in January 2021, Trump has previously stated that he would restore it. The Heritage Foundation plans on having 20,000 personnel in its database by the end of 2024.[33] Russell Vought stated that the project's goal of removing federal workers would be "a wrecking ball for the administrative state."[92]
As of 2024, only about 4,000 government positions are deemed political appointments, which could change with each administration.[4][33] Schedule F would jeopardize tens of thousands of professional federal civil servants,[4] who have spent many years working under both Democratic and Republican administrations.[33] In an interview, Kevin Roberts said, "People will lose their jobs. Hopefully their lives are able to flourish in spite of that. Buildings will be shut down. Hopefully they can be repurposed for private industry."[93]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Schedule F appointment was a job classification in the excepted service of the United States federal civil service that existed briefly at the end of the Trump administration during 2020–2021. It would have contained policy-related positions, removing their civil service protections and making them easy to fire. It was never fully implemented, and no one was appointed to it before it was repealed at the beginning of the Biden administration.
The purpose of the provision was to increase the President's control over the federal career civil service. While proponents stated this would increase flexibility and accountability, it was widely criticized as providing means to retaliate against federal officials for political reasons. It was estimated that tens or hundreds of thousands of career employees could have lost their civil service protections, increasing the number of political appointments by a factor of ten.
Since mid-2022, the 2024 Trump campaign's plan to reinstate the provision has attracted attention and commentary. [...]
Characteristics
[...]
The Schedule F classification included "positions of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character not normally subject to change as a result of a Presidential transition".[2] They are distinguished from Schedule C appointments, which cover policy-making positions that do change with the Presidential transition.[5]: 5–6 The Executive Order listed several characteristics of jobs that may fall under the Schedule F classification:[2]
- substantive participation in advocacy, development, or formulation of policy, especially of regulations and guidance
- substantive policy-related work in an agency or component that primarily focuses on policy
- the supervision of attorneys
- substantial discretion to determine how the agency exercises functions committed to it by law
- working with non-public policy proposals or deliberations generally covered by deliberative process privilege, and either:
- directly reporting to or regularly working with an individual appointed by either the President, or by an agency head paid at the GS-13 level or higher, or
- working in the executive secretariat of the agency or component
- conducting certain collective bargaining negotiations on the agency's behalf
According to OPM, these provisions were guidelines, as not all positions covered by them were required to be converted to Schedule F, and positions not covered by them may have been converted.[3][8] The provisions were broad enough to include many scientists, attorneys, regulators, public health experts, and others in senior roles. The estimated number of employees they covered ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.[3]

With behind the scenes plans like these, it could explain why so many Conservatives “stand behind” Trump’s candidacy — despite his rambling tenuous grasp on most policy issues. They see him as a pliable puppet, who will let them carry out plans, to rebuild the Federal Government in their own image. No questions asked.

Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State.

180-Day Playbook
The time is short, and conservatives need a plan. The project will create a playbook of actions to be taken in the first 180 days of the new Administration to bring quick relief to Americans suffering from the Left’s devastating policies.
The fourth pillar of Project 2025 is our 180-day Transition Playbook and includes a comprehensive, concrete transition plan for each federal agency. Only through the implementation of specific action plans at each agency will the next conservative presidential Administration be successful.
Pillar IV will provide the next President a roadmap for doing just that. To learn more about Project 2025’s vision for a conservative administration, please read our recently published book, Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise.

Believe them, the 1st time, when they tell you what they’re gonna do.
Especially after their successful revoking of Roe.
Afterall, they view America as being plagued by “the Left’s devastating policies.” [according to Project 2025’s Playbook]
Policies they plan to undo, with dictator Trump’s Executive stamp of approval.

Just another “devastating policy of the Left” … according to Trumpworld operators, via “the Project.”
