President Trump’s new executive order freezing IRS hiring is shaking up Washington. The move stops the hiring of federal workers for 90 days—and puts the IRS under an indefinite freeze. Supporters say it’s a bold step to protect working Americans from an overgrown government. Critics call it a dangerous gamble during tax season.
The freeze targets tens of thousands of IRS agents Democrats wanted to hire. Republicans say those agents would’ve harassed small businesses and middle-class families with audits. Trump’s team claims this stops the IRS from becoming a political weapon. The order also rolls back Biden-era plans to expand the agency’s power to track bank transactions under $600.
Gas prices are already dropping fast—down 40 cents in Pennsylvania and under $3 in Georgia. One driver called it “a gift from Trump.” The administration links cheaper gas to ending Biden’s green energy mandates. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promises more relief: tax cuts on tips, Social Security, and overtime pay. “The forgotten Americans are coming first now,” he said.
Democrats and some IRS workers are panicking. They claim the hiring freeze will delay tax refunds and hurt customer service. But experts say seasonal tax workers were already hired before the order. A top accountant group says there’s “NO CONCERN” for this tax season. Republicans argue the IRS should focus on catching real criminals—not squeezing honest taxpayers.
Deep State bureaucrats are feeling the heat. Over 7,500 IRS employees face layoffs, with more cuts coming. The agency’s union calls it a “catastrophe,” but the White House says it’s draining the swamp. “These agents targeted Trump supporters before. Now they’re getting what they deserved,” said a Florida small business owner.
Trump’s team isn’t stopping there. They’re slashing red tape on American energy, leading to the lowest egg prices since 2021. “Omelets are back on the menu!” joked one supporter. The administration is also pushing companies to bring manufacturing jobs home. “America First means jobs FIRST,” said a factory owner in Ohio.
Global elites are furious. When a French politician demanded the Statue of Liberty back, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shot back: “Without us, they’d be speaking German.” Trump’s blunt style is sending shockwaves overseas. Meanwhile, Biden’s failures pile up—like relying on Elon Musk to rescue stranded astronauts after NASA stalled.
This is just the start of Trump’s revenge tour. From firing woke bureaucrats to standing up to China, his team vows to dismantle the Deep State “brick by brick.” As one supporter put it, “Finally, a president who fights for US instead of the swamp.” The battle for America’s future is heating up—and Trump’s army of working-class voters is rallying behind him.
