An explosive blueprint for a second Trump term has been unearthed, detailing an unprecedented assault on the foundations of the US federal government. Leaked internal documents and a flurry of executive orders signal an administration ready to wield power with a radical and immediate intensity, far surpassing the pace of its first term.
The Schedule F Revolution: Reshaping the Federal Workforce
At the heart of the plan lies the rapid re-implementation of "Schedule F," a controversial executive order. This measure would effectively dismantle the traditional non-partisan civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal employees as essentially at-will political appointees.
This move, experts warn, would grant the administration the power to:
- Purge career officials perceived as disloyal or impediments to the President's agenda.
- Replace them with ideological allies, fundamentally politicising agencies tasked with non-partisan functions.
- Create a chilling effect on policy advice and regulatory enforcement across government.
A Blitzkrieg on Regulation
Parallel to the personnel changes is a ruthless deregulatory push. A prepared executive order, dubbed the "Executive Order on Ensuring Nonpartisan and Faithful Regulation," aims to strangle new regulations at birth.
Its most extreme provision would allow any sitting president to instantly nullify every single regulation finalised in the last six months of their predecessor's term—a move targeting the Biden administration's potential "midnight regulations." This legal nuclear option is poised to trigger immediate and fierce court challenges.
Project 2025: The Blueprint Behind the Curtain
These actions are not spontaneous but are deeply informed by Project 2025, a comprehensive 920-page manifesto developed by the Heritage Foundation and other influential conservative groups. The project provides a detailed playbook for a conservative transformation of the executive branch, and its fingerprints are all over the administration's early moves.
The speed and coordination suggest a team that has been preparing for this moment for years, ready to hit the ground running with a focused and aggressive transformation of the American administrative state.
A Nation Braces for Constitutional Conflict
These plans have ignited a political firestorm. Democrats and civil service advocates condemn them as an authoritarian power grab that would undermine the stability, expertise, and impartiality of the US government. Legal scholars are preparing for unprecedented constitutional battles over the limits of presidential power.
The opening days of this new administration are set to define its character: a revolutionary force intent on dismantling and rebuilding key pillars of American governance, with profound and lasting consequences for the nation.
