Why Trump Can Probably Get Away With a Mass Government Purge

The article from MSN discusses the potential for former President Donald Trump to enact a significant overhaul of the federal government should he return to office, leveraging a conservative legal theory known as the "unitary executive theory." This theory posits that the President has absolute control over the executive branch, allowing him to dismiss and replace a wide array of federal employees with political appointees loyal to his agenda. The article outlines how Trump, with the help of allies like the Heritage Foundation, has been planning this "purge" through initiatives like Project 2025, which aims to dismantle what they perceive as a "deep state" of bureaucrats resistant to his policies. This strategy includes using Schedule F, an executive order that would reclassify many federal workers as at-will employees, thereby stripping them of civil service protections. Critics argue this move could politicize the bureaucracy, undermine government stability, and potentially lead to misuse of power, while supporters see it as a necessary step to align the government with the President's vision and reduce bureaucratic resistance.
