This executive order called “Schedule F” was attempted, back around the time of the 2020 Election, but apparently it did not have enough lead time, to have its intended effect.

‘Trump 2025’ Plan Would Bring in Jan. 6 Allies, Gut Everyone Else if He Is Re-Elected, Axios Reports

Donald Trump would fire tens of thousands of civil servants and bring his key Jan. 6 allies to the White House and Cabinet in a move that would fundamentally redesign the government to suit his agenda if he is elected to a second term, according to a new report. After speaking with close allies of the former president, Axios reports Trump would purge staff at the Justice Department, State Department, and Pentagon in his early days back in the Oval Office in 2025. The outlet’s investigation says the plan would be based around an executive order called “Schedule F,” which was secretly developed and then publicly launched in October 2020 before being rescinded by President Biden. [...] Russ Vought, the former boss of Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, has also reportedly been working on plans that would benefit from Schedule F through the organization he founded, the Center for Renewing America (CRA). Vought is reportedly planning to recommend changes to the security clearance system to make it easier to appoint officials in future . “We are consciously bringing on the toughest and most courageous fighters with the know-how and credibility to crush the deep state,” Vought told Axios. [...]

“Schedule F” targets thousands upon thousands of nonpartisan career Federal Employees, and arbitrarily reclassifies them, in effect as ‘Temp Workers’ — subject to whatever whims and the ravings that Traitor Trump, might be channeling that day. That “deep state” could be anywhere — anywhere that likes of Bannon and Giuliani and Eastman, say that it is. On any given day ...

“Hey Chief, you’re Fired!” … just because Trump says so ...

Say goodbye to job security public servants. And then, America say goodbye to competence and stability on the bridge of state ...

[...] Trump, in theory, could fire tens of thousands of career government officials with no recourse for appeals. He could replace them with people he believes are more loyal to him and to his “America First” agenda. Even if Trump did not deploy Schedule F to this extent, the very fact that such power exists could create a significant chilling effect on government employees. [...] Such pendulum swings and politicization could threaten the continuity and quality of service to taxpayers, the regulatory protections, the checks on executive power, and other aspects of American democracy. [...] Unions and Democrats would be expected to immediately fight a Schedule F order. But Trump’s advisers like their chances in a judicial system now dominated at its highest levels by conservatives. [...]

It would almost be funny — assuming Trump’s threat were real. But the boldness of the plan is starling — it is something straight out of the Strongman Playbook.

I can only image the rage and chaos and revenge, Traitor Trump would wreak, if somehow he manage to finagle his way back into the Oval Office. Treason Take Two, no doubt would be horrifying.

It’s not like he’s gotten anymore level-headed and honest, watching the J6 Committee ‘deliver the goods’ on his crimes, day after illuminating day.

Hopefully, enough of America has been watching too. Enough to never let Trump, and his wrecking-ball Team, anyway close to the levers of power, ever again.
