A radical plan for Trump’s second term
AXIOS ^ | Jy 2,2022 | Jonathan Swan

Posted on 07/22/2022 8:36:16 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Former President Trump’s top allies are preparing to radically reshape the federal government if he is re-elected, purging potentially thousands of civil servants and filling career posts with loyalists to him and his "America First” ideology, people involved in the discussions tell Axios.

The impact could go well beyond typical conservative targets such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Internal Revenue Service. Trump allies are working on plans that would potentially strip layers at the Justice Department — including the FBI, and reaching into national security, intelligence, the State Department and the Pentagon, sources close to the former president say.

During his presidency, Trump often complained about what he called “the deep state.”

The heart of the plan is derived from an executive order known as “Schedule F,” developed and refined in secret over most of the second half of Trump’s term and launched 13 days before the 2020 election.

The reporting for this series draws on extensive interviews over a period of more than three months with more than two dozen people close to the former president, and others who have firsthand knowledge of the work underway to prepare for a potential second term. Most spoke on condition of anonymity to describe sensitive planning and avoid Trump’s ire.

Give me a minute to look up the equally alarmed Axios (or older publications) article from when Obama pledged to "fundamentally transform America". Should be on their website... just give me a minute...

We don’t need Trump loyalists we need loyalists to America.

We clearly didn’t have that or the Russia collusion hoax never would have occurred. We didn’t have it when the IRS targeted conservative groups under Obama. Partisan weaponizing of the bureaucracy is dangerous to the nation. Unfortunately, we are already living this reality.

There is still no accountability for the Russia collision hoax conspiracy.

Schedule F sounds really fun.

But like the check from Publishers Clearinghouse, wise people will wait until it clears the bank.

"Didn’t Obama basically purge the military of quite a few Generals and Admirals when he assumed power ?"

You are correct. I believe the number was 27 Flag Officers forced to retire. One was a good friend of mine. The word in the military at the time was you never questioned Obama military decisions.

Start the clean up process immediately after the big GOP take over in November. First impeach Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas for derilection of duty to protect the border. Second, a complete overhaul of the FBI. Third, a revised Hatch Act banning partisan political activity for all federal employees with harsh penalties.

It’s ridiculous that an American president wanting to put the American people and their interests first is a controversial stand.

It’s time for a complete overhaul of the utterly corrupt federal gov 🤪

TERM LIMITS. Two terms in congress and out, to live under the laws you passed.

ALL POLITICAL DONATIONS TO BE ANONYMOUS. You can't sell influence if you don't know who is buying. Americans should be permitted to donate any amount they want to any candidate or party they choose; that's FREEDOM. But purchasing an outcome makes it BRIBERY, a crime.

Civil Service Realignment Act: Move supervisory personnel among departments and agencies on a regular basis, to prevent the establishment of fiefdoms. Eliminate about two thirds of the existing departments, due to redundancy.

This is probably made-up BS but here’s a suggested starting point:

Trump should create an informal advisory group made up of those most loyal to him and who have their heads on straight - people like Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, Don Jr., (sorry not Ivanka or her hubby), Dan Scavino, etc. He should run every appointment or hire past this group and only those who get a 100% unanimous approval get hired.

Trump has proven to suck at using his famous phrase “you’re fired” so the only alternative is to do everything possible to make sure he doesn’t hire backstabbing fickle fair-weather deep-state-connected double-dealing idiots in the first place.

This is what should have happened in the first place. Defenestration of the mandarin class.

Supposedly this is from a man who chickened out on his promise to put Hillary Clinton in jail?

Let’s just stop here: purging potentially thousands of civil servants. Shut down entire departments.

The only solution to this mess is a smaller federal government. Get back to doing only what is allowed in the constitution.

Trump has IRE! Good news.
He should have wrath and the opposition should feel it.

Fired? Whole swathes need to be arrested: most high and mid-level DOJ (including many at district US attorney’s offices like the Southern District of NY), most of the FBI, many at CIA and DOD (officers who lied to Trump should be court martialed).
