Project 2025 discusses the intent to implement Schedule F. Do you know what Schedule F is?
It would allow the replacement of tens of thousands of existing civil servants who are scientists, engineers, attorneys etc., and replace them with people whose only real qualification will be loyalty to the president.
Sounds bad, right? It is!
Yes but - you say - that has nothing to do with Trump and his plans while in office!
Not so fast…
On October 21, 2020 Trump - while President - issued an executive order “Creating Schedule F In The Excepted Service.” This EO removed protections from civil servants perceived as disloyal to the president and encouraged expressions of allegiance to the president when hiring. It basically dramatically expanded those civil servants whose positions had previously been traditionally filled by political appointees.
Trump said Schedule F could apply to as many as 50,000 federal workers, but he said he’s probably only have to fire fewer as doing so would produce the desired behavioral change (blind loyalty).
Biden rescinded it immediately.
Trump has since said he would implement Schedule F on “day 1” of his next administration (source: DonaldTrump.com 21 March 2023), including “up to 100,000 government positions could be moved out of Washington.”
So the most dangerous part of Project 2025 is literally something Trump tried to do while in office, and has said he will do if he wins reelection.
Meanwhile, some of the key authors of Project 2025 are:
Paul Dans, Roger Severino, Ken Cuccinelli, Christopher Miller and Russ Vought.
All served under Trump’s first administration and all are considered likely to receive top positions in his new administration. Also, Ed Martin and Russ Vought, who both helped craft Project 2025, also are authors of the new Republic Party platform. Also, Stephen Miller, who remains a key adviser to Trump, remains involved in Project 2025 as his America First Legal group is on Project 2025’s advisory board.
Project 2025, as well as Schedule F, would place the DoJ directly under Trump’s authority. What could possibly go wrong!
