So much for Donald Trump rescuing the faltering US economy. It turns out that unemployment is skyrocketing in Washington, DC, this week!
What will we do without scores of career bureaucrats, DEI consultants, and useless paper-pushers collecting six-figure taxpayer-funded salaries? The horror!
President Trump has obviously learned a lot after his first stint in the White House, when his agenda was obstructed by Deep Staters at every turn. The Trump team has done their research this time and people on their “Naughty Lists” are getting fired at a rapid pace—which was a big part of why we all voted for Big Orange.
One of the first executive orders that President Trump signed on Monday created a new class of federal employees, known as Schedule F. Here’s how the scammers and traitors in the first Trump White House abused this system to undermine the will of the president and the American people.
Trump would appoint someone who appeared to be on board with the MAGA agenda to his staff in the White House. That person would put on a façade of loyalty, but they’re just the public face of the various boards and entities that they were running. They would proceed to hire #Resistance employees who were disloyal to Donald Trump. They leaked information like crazy to the press, refused to enact President Trump’s orders, and sometimes even hid memos from him to keep him in the dark.
Under the old system, it was nearly impossible for a president to fire these career bureaucrats, even of insubordination and dereliction of duty. Even if a supervisor wants to fire an insubordinate or incompetent federal employee, it was almost impossible. Schedule F makes it possible and easy to fire these “faithful career public servants,” as the media refers to them.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Wednesday that every federal employee serving in a DEI office is being placed on administrative leave, effective at 5 p.m. EST that same day.
Just a few hours after he took the oath of office, President Trump fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan. Joe Biden appointed her as the first lesbian commander of the Coast Guard. A White House official said Trump gave Fagan the boot because of her failure to address border security threats, along with “excessive focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.” Morale in the Coast Guard has been in the toilet because of Fagan and recruitment levels have fallen to record lows.
As soon as Fagan was fired, the Coast Guard announced that it was surging resources to Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and other US territories. Instead of excessively worrying about pronouns and declaring straight white men to be the real terror threat, the Coast Guard will be focused on drug interdiction and halting boatloads of illegal aliens—you know, the sort of things people used to enlist in the Coast Guard to do.
Some of the more prominent holdovers from the Biden regime are getting fired very publicly. President Trump posted this on his Truth Social account on Monday evening:
“Jose Andres from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars, and Keisha Lance Bottoms from the President’s Export Council—YOU’RE FIRED!”
Ouch! We’re sure that they all received formal termination letters, but can you imagine getting canned in front of the whole world on social media?
The president is also taking a sledgehammer to the Justice Department that just spent four years trying to imprison him on false charges of insurrection and paperwork violations. At least 20 career lawyers in the DOJ’s Executive Office of Immigration Review have been fired or reassigned. Trump even fired the judge who Joe Biden had appointed to oversee the nation’s immigration courts.
Deputy Assistant Attorney General George Toscas was also fired. He was the DOJ attorney who oversaw the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s illegal bathroom server and never charged her over those 30,000 deleted classified emails. He was also in charge of the illegal Mar a Lago raid, in which FBI agents were authorized to kill members of the Trump family if they resisted the raid of Melania’s underwear drawers.
The firings are expected to accelerate in the coming weeks as Trump’s cabinet members are confirmed by the Senate. They have to start somewhere and so far, things are off to a very good start.
