Project 2025 & Team Trump is pre-screening over 54,000 potential staffers to join the Trump administration in 2024 to weed out influential Deep State officials in critical government positions.

Mandate for leadership - Project 2025
Heritage president Kevin Roberts says his apparatus is "orders of magnitude" bigger than anything ever assembled:
"Never before has the entire movement banded together to construct a comprehensive plan to deconstruct the out-of-touch and weaponized administrative [Deep] state."
Thousands of America-first loyalists will be vetted and ready to take on legal, judicial, defense, regulatory and domestic policy jobs in his administration - and hit the ground running on day one of Trump's new presidential period.
A key tool for President Trump to clean up the Deep State will be the use of “Schedule F” personnel powers to wipe out tens of thousands of civil servant jobs across the federal government.
Trump’s top focus will be on cleaning up the Justice Department, the FBI and the intelligence community — all of which have criminally conspired to investigate him, steal our elections & screw America.
Trump’s government-in-waiting is being orchestrated by the Heritage Foundation's well-funded Project 2025, which already has published a 920-page policy book from 400+ contributors.
80 'America First' partners
Project 2025 has 80 partners, including Turning Point USA, led by Charlie Kirk; the Center for Renewing America, headed by former Trump budget director Russ Vought; Moms for Liberty, and American Moment, focused on young believers for junior positions.
A separate group of former Trump officials — the America First Policy Institute, led by Brooke Rollins — has a Pathway to 2025 laying groundwork for what it calls "the next America First administration." Heritage's "Presidential Personnel Database" already has 4,000+ entries.
This is definitely a Trump-driven operation. Johnny McEntee — one of Trump's closest White House aides — is a senior adviser to Project 2025. One of the most powerful architects of Project 2025 is Stephen Miller, a top West Wing adviser for the Trump administration. Miller, the president of America First Legal, is charting an even harder line on legal and immigration policy than last time.

Schedule F
A key tool for President Trump to clean up the Deep State will be the use of “Schedule F” personnel powers to wipe out tens of thousands of civil servant jobs across the federal government.
Trump’s top focus will be on cleaning up the Justice Department, the FBI and the intelligence community — all of which have criminally conspired to investigate him, steal our elections & screw America. The next priority will be the Department of Homeland Security and the border, with plans to round up and deport illegals by the millions.
Tens of thousands of civil servants who serve in roles deemed to have influence over policy would be reassigned as “Schedule F” employees. Upon reassignment, they would lose their employment protections.
An executive order, known as “Schedule F”, was developed and refined in secret over most of the second half of Trump’s term and launched 13 days before the 2020 election which established a new employment category for federal employees. It received wide media coverage for a short period, then was largely forgotten and quickly rescinded by President Biden. Trump would immediately reinstate it.
New presidents typically get to replace no more than 4,000 so-called “political” appointees to oversee the running of their administrations. But below this rotating layer of political appointees sits a huge mass of government workers who enjoy strong employment protections — and typically continue their service from one administration to the next, regardless of party - that’s the 'Deep State'. In other words, it is traditionally difficult to get rid of them.
Schedule F could apply to as many as 50,000 federal workers — a fraction of a total Federal Government workforce of more than 2 million - but a segment with a profound role in shaping policy and American life.
Trump could fire tens of thousands of Deep State career government officials, in the first 100 days of his second term, with no recourse for appeals. He could replace them with people loyal to the “America First” agenda.
