Not a conspiracy.
Anyone remember when this guy actually looked at each department and made smart decisions about which workers could be fired and didn’t just fire entire departments before deciding days later that oops we actually need them before trying to hire them all back. But feel free to do what the right always does and focus on the part that isn’t the real issue.
Yeah, it took years, was systematically reviewed, AND was approved by Congress.
Not even remotely close to the same thing. A quick google search and you would’ve learned this.
Ah yes, I remember Project 1993 and how it called for gutting the government, mass firing of career civil servants, and replacing them with party loyalists.
Oh, wait…nvm. That’s Project 2025.
Op, are you talking about when Clinton went through congress and got both the House (391-17) and the senate (99-1) to both sign off on and approve the buyouts that made up the significant portion of this? Or are you claiming Trump is unable to come up with any ideas of his own so he has to resort to stealing and poorly implementing the ideas that democrats successfully implemented with bipartisan support? I’d hope you would be able to distinguish the difference between the two…
The difference is that there were careful reviews and then certain policies even required legislation to be passed through Congress, not like a current president allowing an outsider swing a chainsaw around willy-nilly. [Here is a source if you can swallow it](https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-clinton-initiative-cut-140000196.html).
Basic common sense would lead you to believe that they are upset with the way its being done
Oh you’re right I forgot about the layoffs from 30 years ago when I was a toddler. Silly me.
You’re right, Trump doing it is no big deal since a dem did it three decades ago. Carry on.
What is the conspiracy?
Jesus. This is wilfully ignorant at this point. Wtf.
Bill Clinton also made 18 million new jobs

This was also before the days before ghost jobs
Fun fact: this little experiment where they fire a bunch of government employees, defund agencies, and try to shrink the federal government through executive orders has been done like four times now. The question people should be asking is: why does the government keep getting bloated again if it’s been “cut back” so many times? Well you see it’s as simple as: anything done with the pen can be undone with the pen.
Spoiler: unless this administration manages to get legislation passed that solidifies any of these changes by law, the same exact thing is going to happen after this one too. Trump will get to watch the next administration wipe away all of his EO’s with their EO’s, in the first week. Governing with the pen is not only lazy, it’s stupid.
He also gave us the strongest economy since the Great Society. So, try again.
