The epicenter of Donald Trump's transition is gradually shifting from south Florida to Washington, DC, to prepare for the president-elect's return to the country's seat of power, even as he prefers to bask in the afterglow of his electoral triumph from Mar-a-Lago.

The article from CNN, published on December 11, 2024, discusses former President Donald Trump's plans to significantly alter the operations of the federal government should he return to office. Trump has been holding meetings at Mar-a-Lago with allies and former administration officials to strategize a "takeover" of Washington, focusing on replacing career bureaucrats with loyalists to ensure his policies are implemented without resistance. Key points include his intention to dismantle what he refers to as the "deep state," by targeting the civil service, potentially using Schedule F to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers, thereby stripping them of job protections. This move would allow for easier dismissals and replacements with individuals more aligned with his political vision. The article also touches on Trump's plans to overhaul agencies like the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security, aiming to centralize power and reduce checks on his authority. Critics warn that such actions could undermine the nonpartisan nature of government institutions, while supporters see it as necessary to fulfill his campaign promises and enact his agenda effectively.
