How Trump Crippled the Deep State Before They Even Knew What Was Happening

You are fired

Has the #Resistance seemed… awfully quiet… for the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the White House? Almost too quiet?

President Trump has admitted that he was naïve about how Washington, DC, worked the first time he entered the White House back in 2017. That’s not happening this time. No one has been able to hamstring any of his policy measures or federal staffing moves this time around. There’s a good reason for that.

Dozens of key career bureaucrats in the Executive branch slow-rolled Trump’s policies during his first term. They leaked completely fake stories to an all-too-eager fake news media to tie the administration in knots. They sabotaged him at every turn, even going so far as to leak his confidential phone calls so they could impeach him.

The bureaucrats did this confidently and constantly while cashing their six-figure, taxpayer-funded paychecks. They knew they had total job security because they couldn’t be fired.

Back in 2017, there were no consequences for this brazen insubordination. The brave #Resistance never had any real skin in the game. It was as if they were playing a passive-aggressive version of treason by disobeying President Trump’s orders.

This time around, Trump is taking skin off these people. He’s firing them. Lots of them.

 

He canned 17 of the government’s 74 Inspectors General. He fired about 60 top USAID officials for trying to ignore his freeze on foreign aid. He fired everyone in the Executive branch with “DEI” in their title. Hundreds of bureaucrats have been pink slipped in the past few days, reducing federal spending by $1 billion per day.

It’s now dawning on the Deep State—much to their shock, dismay, and horror—that many of these were not random firings. These were targeted strikes.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board are three Executive branch agencies that could throw a monkey wrench in the middle of Trump’s executive orders right now. Trump has fired some of the commissioners on each of those boards. None of them have a quorum right now, so they can’t do anything. They can’t vote on anything to disrupt President Trump’s momentum.

Here’s where it turns into 4D chess: None of them are suing him.

Current law makes it illegal for a president to fire many of these commissioners. Trump did it anyway. So, why isn’t he being buried under a ton of lawsuits like he was every 11 seconds during his first term in office?

When these newly fired #Resistors are meeting with their high-powered Democrat Party lawyers, they’re telling them, “No, no, no, no, no! You can’t sue him!”

This sounds nuts to us as conservatives, but it is technically illegal for the President of the United States—the Chief Executive of the Executive branch—to fire many of these commissioners and Inspectors General except in very narrow circumstances. Trump is clearly breaking the law by firing some of these people—but he is also daring them to sue him.

Dating back to the Reagan administration, conservative legal scholars have argued that for presidents to truly have authority over the Executive branch, they should have the ability to fire these permanent bureaucrats. Progressives believe that these $200,000-a-year paper pushers should not be fire-able employees. The laws protecting these people from being fired by their boss are the reason why we have a “permanent” unelected bureaucracy wielding such power from DC.

Guess who came up with that conservative legal theory while working at the Reagan White House Council’s Office back in the 1980s?

That would be current Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. If Justice Roberts believes that presidents should have the authority to fire Executive branch employees, then you know that Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh (at a minimum) also share this common-sense legal opinion. Trump’s legal advisors know they can win this case in front of the Supreme Court. When that happens, Democrats will have helped to expand President Trump’s power to fire federal employees.

That’s why none of these newly unemployed bureaucrats have sued Trump yet over losing their cushy jobs. No one has taken the bait yet. Just wait, though. Someone will sue him eventually and then Trump will become even more powerful—which is the exact opposite of what the Deep Staters want.
