Schedule F classification. Trump tried it once towards the end of his first term, promised that he would do it again when he came back into office but Trump lost that election.

That he's now doing again is literally no surprise. He absolutely promised that this would happen and spoke about how he was going to do it if he won 2024 after losing 2020.

Long story short, this creates what basically amounts to at-will employment at the Federal level. Again, this should come as a shock to no one, like he started detailing the implementation back in 2022, before he even got the nomination, it's literally one of the most consistent things about Trump's policy.

Now if you're wondering, yes, at-will employment styled employment in Federal Office will mean that if Trump doesn't like someone for any reason, they can be let go, zero employment protections.

How the fuck did we let this monster back into the most powerful elected position.

I suspect voter fraud, but I have no hope for any investigation
