Staff Reports
The administrative state is shaking in its boots at the prospect of President Donald Trump carrying out his promise to clean house in the government. Reports have surfaced hinting at the early phases of a massive purge, with over a thousand employees in line for the axe. This has left many America First supporters dreaming of a federal bureaucracy that answers to the people rather than the shadowy figures within the bowels of D.C.
Trump’s nominee for the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, highlighted the disdain bureaucracies have for everyday Americans. He emphasized that the current power dynamics leave the American people out in the cold. Instead of a government that serves its citizens, it’s been run like a rogue corporation where the public has a voice like a whisper in a thunderstorm.
The deep state—yes, that famous term now well-known among those who prefer a government that reflects their values—is reportedly rife with “anxiety and confusion.” According to some sources, HR departments across government agencies have been busy informing unsuspecting new hires that their job offers are now null and void. Not thrilling news for those who thought they’d just landed a cushy gig in the swamp. Meanwhile, employees have worried about whether they’ll still have access to gender-neutral bathrooms once the incoming wave of personnel adjustments begins.

In what can only be described as a delightful chaos, Trump took it to Truth Social to announce that the presidential personnel office is hard at work identifying and canning over a thousand presidential appointees. Among those getting the heave-ho could be celebrity chef José Andrés, who seems to have forgotten he resigned before the Twitter storm, trying to claim he’s been wrongly targeted. Each firing serves as a tasty reminder to deep state operatives that Trump means business and isn’t afraid to trim the fat.
The Justice Department isn’t sitting pretty either. Reports indicate that several top officials in the criminal and national security divisions have been shown the door. In an organization that has long felt the sting of Trump’s criticisms, many are deciding that it might be safer to seek employment elsewhere—in the private sector, where they won’t need to dodge the fallout from a radical policy reboot. These executive changes align with Trump’s focused intent to ramp up immigration enforcement, shaking up a once-cozy bureaucratic environment.
This so-called administrative state has become the daydream of every unelected bureaucrat cashing in on power that the Constitution didn’t grant them. They’ve been known to use their unelected status to shove agendas down the throats of the American public. The infamous letter from 51 intel officials, which claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian propaganda, is a prime example of the deep state misusing its influence. With so much at stake, Americans are left hoping that Trump’s second act will see him re-establish the accountability that has been absent in D.C. since he last took office.
In the final days of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order aimed at giving him more control over federal workers, a move that could have radically shifted how agencies operated. However, the order was quickly swept aside by Biden, who remains committed to maintaining the status quo. But with Trump back on the scene, the possibility exists for him to dust off that executive order and go to work on the unelected elite who’ve been pulling the strings from their corner office. A second term could mean the ultimate shake-up—a true awakening for a bureaucracy that has long imagined itself beyond the people it is supposed to serve.
