WASHINGTON: US President-elect Donald Trump is set to implement significant changes in the federal government, focusing on reducing the influence of career bureaucrats, whom he and his allies accuse of undermining his agenda. On his first day in office, Trump may sign an executive order aimed at stripping job protections for 50,000 federal employees, enabling their replacement with political loyalists.
This effort could involve reclassifying career positions to political appointments, allowing for easier firings. The move is part of Trump’s broader goal to inject loyalists deep into the government. Several top appointees, including Russell Vought and Pam Bondi, are tasked with advancing this agenda.

Critics argue the plan could foster a culture of fear and undermine government performance, while supporters claim it will ensure that government workers align with Trump’s priorities. The transition team has yet to provide a detailed timeline for the overhaul, which could take months due to federal rule-making procedures.
