Trump's rapid changes in US government stun federal workers

^{Published on 2025-01-24 16:40:45 - Reuters}

U.S. President Donald Trump and his team have acted with stunning speed to begin removing or sidelining hundreds of government workers, while he has also sought to give himself the power to fire hundreds of thousands more.

The article from Reuters discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump's proposed changes to the U.S. government should he win the 2024 presidential election. Trump's plans include a significant overhaul of the federal bureaucracy, aiming to replace many career civil servants with political appointees loyal to his agenda. This approach, often referred to as "Schedule F," would reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers, making it easier to dismiss them and replace them with individuals more aligned with his policies. This has led to widespread anxiety among current federal employees, who fear job insecurity and a politicization of government functions. Critics argue that such changes could undermine the nonpartisan nature of the civil service, potentially affecting the efficiency and integrity of government operations. The article highlights the tension between Trump's desire for a government that executes his vision without bureaucratic resistance and the traditional role of the civil service in providing continuity and expertise across administrations.
