Trump’s appointees must be fiercely loyal
By Anony Mee

The President, doing his duty, will make thousands of appointments to federal positions. Some, like Foreign Service officers and Senior Warrant Officers, are career appointments into federal or military service. These appointments require the consent of the Senate, but the president’s tenure does not provide a time limit.

Other positions—the ones that this essay primarily addresses—are political appointments of senior-level members of the administration who normally serve only during the tenure of the president making the appointment. The Plum Book, which the Office of Personnel Management maintains, is an interesting read. It lists all appointed positions in the executive branch and the judiciary, and to boards and advisory committees.

President Trump’s next set of appointees must be fiercely loyal to the Constitution, to We the People, to the administration’s mission, and to President Trump. The first step to ensuring this is for President Trump to accept the resignations of every appointee from the previous administration on his first day in office. Some of these people, like Secretary of State Blinken, will then leave the government. Others will go on to positions within their federal careers, such as non-political appointee ambassadors.

No need to worry about whether the federal government will continue to run smoothly. Every senior position has individuals in subordinate positions who are prepared to step in and serve temporarily as needed.

I am voting for Trump, but if I had to put a finger on I what I liked least about his 1st term, is his desire to put in ass kissers, and the extreme turnover, which gives indication that DJT might not be the easiest guy to work with and work for.

There's loyalty, and then there's obsequious brown nosing.......

The ability to apply high lip suction on Trump's fat rear end will figure greatly in getting a job in his admin.

Well that seams a tad snarky.  Kind of never trumpesque.

I think your hope might fall into the category of wishful thinking.

First, his propensity to pick military folks.  He should pick folks that were purged by Obama when he purged 4,500 senior officers from the military and forget about anyone that progressed while Obama was POTUS.

2nd, courtesy Barrack Obama, an entire industry was destroyed when he took office, that being the boutique management consulting industry.  I am not talking about the 2-3 super large accounting/consulting companies, that are good at making flowery recommendations but clueless how to implement ANYTHING, I am talking about 1,000 - 1,500 folks in the boutique management consulting industry that were left largely unemployed.  These are people that could step in and run and direct anything, regardless of what they do.  And along the line of putting Elon Mush in to reduce government, the management consulting people I am talking about are 90% conservative, and would come in and reduce government by something greater than 50%, while increasing output probably by a like number from what it is today.

These are the people that did go in and fix corporations from the moronic decisions they made over a period of time, and could easily do the same for the federal government.  I know for fact we have 3 or 4 people doing the work for one in a number of branches of government, including branches you would think do not need reductions in force.

Trump wins, he should implement a hiring freeze immediately, including current posted positions.  All positions that get vacated over the next four years are NOT automatically replaced.  Until the area goes through an assessment of resources actually needed, projects that are actually needed or justified, no position gets replaced.  PERIOD!!!

I worked in that industry, was on a project at a steel company, and when Obama was elected in November, 2008, by the end of that month, the steel company lost 90% of their business.  And this happened all across America, and hardly a word was spoken, because it would have been construed as racism to say anything negative against the black POTUS, but the fact remains, this country has NOT recovered since Obama's presidency.   I had hopes it would when Trump became POTUS, but it did not!!!  Four years of the Biden Idiocracy, and their bragging that manufacturing has increased in the USA, I say bullsh*t on that notion.  Total lie!!!  I trust nothing the Biden/Harris Idiocracy is saying.

It was only months ago they adjusted the number for employed downward by 800,000.  That is NOT a small mistake!!!  Or coverup!!!

Without conservative, highly knowledgeable folks to step in and support Trump, he will get steamrolled again by Bush pawns out to screw him over.  If he learned anything, he would not use a single person from the days of George Bush.  Not one!!!

I wish I had the ear of Musk, because these folks from the boutique management consulting industry, could step in and run every government agency, bureau, etc, and implement cost cutting, process improvement practices in a very short period of time.  I am talking about saving many billions in spending from the current budgets, actually reducing government by a huge dollar number, and increase productivity beyond the imagination.

You posed a great question

Let me get back to you on that.  I have been drinking and my major thought was do I need to pee now or wait

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

He's not even the easiest guy to have as President, let alone boss. Do I prefer him to Kamala et al? Of course.

These are not mutually exclusive.  One can be loyal to Trump and the Constitution.

He failed miserably in the first term by keeping 1,400 Obama appointees in place for over 1.5 years.  That was beyond foolish and reflects his advisors were not worth used TP!!!  No mystery why leaks occurred daily, and fed the corrupt Democommies constantly.  He had literally no one loyal to him but his family and close friends he knew prior to being elected.

No Obama/Biden generals/admirals
No Obama/Biden appointees!  Not one!!!  No matter what!!!
Freeze all open positions day one, except the military.  (That  includes freezing all intelligence organizations)
Cancel all contractors  (ALL, no exceptions.  Too many people are using contractors to do the work while fed employees sit back and watch)

Isn't there an old saying about loyalty and friendship in D.C.? Something about getting a dog?

I really think the atmosphere there is so corrupt that a person can't depend on anybody.

"never trumpesque."

Yes, that would be me. Never Trump and Never Harris. They're both totally unqualified for different reasons.

Will they have to touch a January 6th blood flag as they pledge allegiance to their orange fuhrer?

I see Trump as more Mussolinesque in the way he gives his speeches and the grotesque "only I can fix (blank)" crapola.

Hope he learned not to let the Swamp make his picks for him.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
