I personally don't think he will be the nominee for the Republicans in 2024, but he might run regardless. That would be great news for the Dems.
In the unlikely event he wins, he does have some wonderful ideas to improve government. As we know, he only hires the best people.

Donald Trump would fire tens of thousands of civil servants and bring his key Jan. 6 allies to the White House and Cabinet in a move that would fundamentally redesign the government to suit his agenda if he is elected to a second term, according to a new report.

After speaking with close allies of the former president, Axios reports Trump would purge staff at the Justice Department, State Department, and Pentagon in his early days back in the Oval Office in 2025. The outlet’s investigation says the plan would be based around an executive order called “Schedule F,” which was secretly developed and then publicly launched in October 2020 before being rescinded by President Biden.

The order established a new category of employment for federal workers. Trump would resurrect the order if he returns to the White House, which would see thousands of workers who have an influence on policy reassigned as “Schedule F” employees. After being reassigned, the staff would lose their employment protections. An estimate from a Trump official who worked on the order said that as many as 50,000 workers could be subject to such a reassignment. If he became president again, Trump could theoretically fire tens of thousands of them without the employees having any ability to appeal their sacking. He could then fill the vacancies with people he deems more loyal to him and his “America First” program.

Such a plan would completely gut the American civil service and could potentially burden future presidents with the decision of bringing in their own partisans to replace those of their predecessors.


While Trump allies say they wouldn’t need to fire all 50,000 workers, sacking a cohort of particular “bad apples” at every agency affected would achieve the desired “behavior change” from the federal government. They said they believe the implementation of Schedule F will finally curtail the “farce” of Republican presidents being sabotaged by an ostensibly nonpartisan civil service, which is, in their belief, staffed by liberals.

It’s thought that allies from Trump’s previous administration—including Chief of Staff Mark Meadows—and others accused of supporting Trump’s bid to overturn the 2020 election result will be brought into Trump’s new administration. One stalwart supporter believed to be in line for a big job is Jeffrey Clark—the DOJ lawyer who Trump wanted to make attorney general in his last days in office and who has since been the subject to an FBI investigation as part of its probe into efforts to overturn the election.

Russ Vought, the former boss of Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, has also reportedly been working on plans that would benefit from Schedule F through the organization he founded, the Center for Renewing America (CRA). Vought is reportedly planning to recommend changes to the security clearance system to make it easier to appoint officials in future. “We are consciously bringing on the toughest and most courageous fighters with the know-how and credibility to crush the deep state,” Vought told Axios.

Kash Patel, the chief of staff to Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller at the time of the attack on the Capitol, would likely be in line for a top national-security job in a new Trump White House. If he made it through Senate confirmation, Patel may even be appointed FBI or CIA director, according to Trump allies.

Former loyalists who reportedly won’t be included in Trump’s 2025 team are his daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Erstwhile close advisers, including Hope Hicks and former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, are also no longer thought to be involved, while Trump’s VP Mike Pence is now thought of as an enemy by Trump and his inner circle. He’s also reportedly complained about other key figures in his former administration, including “wacko” National Security Adviser John Bolton and “weak” Attorney General Bill Barr.

The scenario of a second tRump presidency is terrifying .

I am attempting to line up one of the Canuckistani's here to sponsor us to emigrate north of the border, should the need arise! We had a sponsor, but he passed away recently at age 92. A package deal will be available on our remaining rental condos......

Probably your best chance will be to come by boat - paddle ashore - and claim refugee status.

Apply now, there are 2.7 million people in queue ahead of you. Alternate is Roxham road - the RCMP will help carry your luggage as you sneak across between customs points as a refugee.

Canada has winter…. No thanks.

I prefer to stay here and fight the cult.

Some of the southern Canadian provinces along the Atlantic and Pacific oceans have winters no worse than where we are now in CT. And we have family in S. Carolina, so I don't expect we would spend much of the winters up north, if at all possible.

Well considering how poorly BBB is going he will certainly want back in but I don’t think he’ll be at the top of the ticket this time around.

I am really believing that Trump will not be able to win the presidency in 2024. Like someone stated above, if he doesn't get the nomination, I sure hope he runs as an independent to split off his most loyal followers that have to be a good chunk of the Republican voters...because...someone like DeSantis could win, if Trump doesn't run, and don't think for a second that someone like DeSantis would hesitate to put a plan like this in action if it was available to him, which apparently it would be.

How can you NOT think he was serious. Probably already gave himself a Purple Heart for stubbing his toe while fight the war against white Christian people.
Nah. He already has one.



I remember that. Clueless old fuck, eager to get in the spotlight, probably love-love-LOVED Trump because Trump "says what we're thinking" ie makes blatantly racist remarks. At the time I felt sorry for him.

What I don't understand is why 98% of veterans didn't recoil from Trump in disgust at this.

Bingo. Especially after this comment - "I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier."
