President Trump is steadily making good on his promise to put America first and make our country great again. Since returning to the White House, he’s been working overtime to implement the agenda that Americans overwhelmingly voted for – from securing the border to cutting taxes and reining in the administrative state. It’s the kind of decisive leadership we’ve been waiting for.

But not everyone in Washington is eager to help make America great again. The federal government remains packed with career bureaucrats who survived the last administration change and continue playing by their own rulebook. These swamp dwellers have mastered the art of slow-walking policies they personally disagree with, effectively undermining the will of the people as expressed through their elected president.

Now Trump is doing something about it. In a bold move that has the Washington establishment clutching their pearls, the president announced Friday that career government employees working on policy matters will be reclassified as “at will” employees – and shown the door if they refuse to implement his agenda. Sound harsh? Maybe to some, but isn’t that how the real world works?

From ‘President Trump on Truth Social’:

“If these government workers refuse to advance the policy interests of the President, or are engaging in corrupt behavior, they should no longer have a job. This is common sense, and will allow the federal government to finally be ‘run like a business.’ We must root out corruption and implement accountability in our Federal Workforce!”

Draining the Bureaucratic Swamp

The new classification, called “Schedule Policy/Career,” will affect approximately 50,000 federal employees – about 2% of the federal workforce, according to the White House. These aren’t your average government workers. We’re talking about employees with “important policy-determining, policy-making, policy-advocating, or confidential duties” who have significant influence over how America is governed.

For too long, these unelected bureaucrats have enjoyed protections that make them virtually impossible to fire, even when they actively work against presidential directives. They’ve hidden behind “cumbersome adverse action procedures” and lengthy appeals processes while collecting taxpayer-funded paychecks. Ever wonder why government seems so resistant to change no matter who’s in charge? This is your answer.

Not anymore. Under Trump’s executive order, they’ll now be considered “at-will” employees without the fortress of procedural safeguards that have protected poor performers and policy saboteurs.

Running Government Like a Business (Finally!)

Ask any successful business owner what happens to employees who refuse to do their jobs or actively undermine company objectives. They’re shown the door – and quickly. Yet somehow, we’ve accepted a government where those entrusted with implementing our laws can effectively ignore their boss (who happens to be elected by the American people) with near-total immunity.

The White House made it clear that affected employees aren’t required to personally support President Trump. They simply need to “faithfully implement the law and the administration’s policies.” That’s not political persecution – it’s basic workplace competence. Imagine telling your boss, “I don’t agree with your vision, so I’ll just do whatever I want instead” and expecting to keep your job!

This change empowers federal agencies to “swiftly remove employees in policy-influencing roles for poor performance, misconduct, corruption, or subversion of Presidential directives, without lengthy procedural hurdles.” In other words, the government will finally operate with the same accountability standards as the private sector.

Constitution 1, Bureaucrats 0

Let’s remember what the Constitution actually says about the executive branch. Article II vests the executive power in the President of the United States – not in a permanent class of unelected civil servants with their own agendas. When Americans vote for a president, they’re voting for that president’s policies – not for whatever policies career bureaucrats feel like implementing.

The Trump administration’s Office of Personnel Management estimates that this rule change will affect approximately 50,000 employees across the federal government. That’s 50,000 people who have been making or influencing policy without being accountable to the president who was elected to set that policy.

The proposed rule won’t change the status of affected employees’ jobs until another executive order is issued, according to the White House. But the message is clear: the days of consequence-free obstruction are over. The deep state’s free ride at taxpayer expense is coming to an end – and it’s about time.

Key Takeaways:

• President Trump is reclassifying 50,000 policy-influencing federal employees as “at-will” workers who will be held accountable when they undermine his America First agenda.
• Federal bureaucrats don’t need to personally support Trump, but they must faithfully execute the policies voters endorsed at the ballot box or face consequences.
• By removing bureaucratic shields that protect poor performers and policy saboteurs, Trump is restoring constitutional order and bringing business-like efficiency to government.
