Critics Slam Trump's Plan to Fill Federal Government With "Political Cronies"

^{Published on 2025-05-04 23:20:38 -}

Around 50,000 career civil servants would be reclassified as "at-will" employees and lose civil service protections.

Critics have strongly opposed President Trump's plan to fill the federal government with political appointees, as outlined in a recent executive order that would reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers as at-will employees, thereby stripping them of civil service protections. This move, according to experts and former government officials, would politicize the federal workforce, undermine the merit-based system, and allow for the replacement of career professionals with partisan loyalists, potentially compromising the integrity and efficiency of government operations. The proposal has been met with widespread condemnation from unions, civil service advocates, and members of Congress, who argue that it represents a dangerous shift towards authoritarianism and could lead to a government staffed by individuals more focused on loyalty to the president than on serving the public interest.
