As Trump is reconfiguring Government agencies, and reallocating employees he has received a lot of grief from the Democrats and the mainstream media. But if everyone was honest, they would tell you he is not the first incoming president to ever do exactly what he has done. Donald Trump Learned from the Master: Bill Clinton and the Birth of the Deep State As President Donald Trump announces plans to restructure the federal government and remove entrenched left-wing activist bureaucrats , the Left has reacted with outrage. Many claimed that such firings are an unprecedented attack on the civil service. However, history tells a different story. The blueprint for mass firings in the federal government was not drafted by Trump—it was authored by President Bill Clinton. The Creation of Bill Clinton's Deep State For the record, President Bill Clinton took drastic action upon entering office, firing all federal appointees and those reporting directly to them, reaching three levels deep into the management hierarchy. This included upper-level, middle-level, and lower-level managers. Such sweeping dismissals were unprecedented in modern history. The stated reason for these actions was to reform government and make it more efficient. Under the guise of the 1993 "Reinventing Government Initiative," Clinton oversaw the termination of 377,000 federal employees. This initiative, led by then-Vice President Al Gore, was marketed as an effort to cut bureaucratic bloat. Clinton publicized that his administration reduced the government payroll from 2.15 million employees to 1.79 million by the end of his term (U.S. Office of Personnel Management). However, while he claimed to be trimming the size of government, he was in reality expanding it dramatically. Rather than actually reducing the government’s reach, Clinton tripled its size by shifting millions of jobs to government contractors. This maneuver allowed his administration to hide the true expansion of government within the bureaucracy. The federal workforce, under his administration, effectively grew from 2.15 million to a staggering 9.1 million (Project On Government Oversight), all hired by liberal activist managers. This restructuring was the foundation for what has become the “deep state”—an unelected bureaucratic class that exercises significant influence over government operations, often in opposition to elected leaders who challenge the status quo. The same entity that Trump is now attempting to confront was a product of Clinton’s drastic reshaping of the federal workforce. Setting the Precedent for Trump’s Actions The Democrats are framing Trump's efforts to remove government employees as radical and dangerous. Yet, Clinton, a Democrat, set the precedent for such dismissals. The key difference is that while Clinton’s actions were aimed at consolidating power within a left-leaning bureaucracy, Trump’s efforts have been directed at reducing that bureaucracy’s grip on governance and returning government to the people. Trump’s battle against the entrenched federal workforce is not an attack on democracy—it is an attempt to undo a system that was carefully crafted over decades to resist conservative leadership. The idea that federal employees should be immune from accountability is a modern invention, and Clinton himself showed that mass firings could be justified in the name of reform. As the debate over federal employment rages on, it is important to remember who first wielded the axe. Trump may be making headlines for firing government employees, but he is merely following in the footsteps of the master—Bill Clinton. Silver Knight Broadcasting State Of The Nation Live

@KashPatelX Yes, absolutely

@RealHickory Ive been wondering that myself.

@EricLDaugh This is proof, you can't fix stupid. On the plus side, stupid won't be reproducing.

@TrumpRealDaily His picks are exactly what we want. Get them approved. The crooks, I mean Dems, can stalk it, but they can't stop what's coming. A few of them need to be behind bars right now

@Realjaprince @DefiyantlyFree @PamBondi I love this. They are terrified they are fixing to be found out.

Well, it's not morning now, but I'm just home from a long day of driving, packing up my parents appt and moving a load back to my home. Losing your parents is hard. Cleaning out and packing their stuff up is almost as bad. But the movers will handle the furniture. Glad to be home and sit down. So it's a late reply, but good evening Colton. Thanks for all your hard work you do keeping this group of Patriots on track and growing. We appreciate you.

@AngelaT14357287 @salis333 @catturd2 I heard Kash was pushed back. I thought RFK Jr and Tulsi go to full senate. They are terrified of Kash.

@donnaG1234567 @salis333 @catturd2 Can Trump make recess appointments?

@JimBrubaker3 @EasterlingLu @StephanieGural Thank you and I think I got them all

@elonmusk Same old song and dance. Makes me sick

This right here. They need to go. Our voting system must be protected by LAWS that make cheating a serious crime and those that are caught need to be swiftly prosecuted and jailed. And elected officials not representing the best interest of the people and are encouraging violence like Hakeem Jeffries and others are doing, should be censured and arrested for acts against our country. No elected officials is above the law. None.

@MarshaBlackburn @RobertKennedyJr Thank you @MarshaBlackburn for truly representing your constituents. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

@elonmusk More liberal tears because they're watching their pocket money dry up right before their eyes. Cry me a river. Would they like some cheese with that whine?

@Kwood3020 Congratulations and prayers for God's hand of protection over him every day.

@AMAZlNGNATURE It's good I'm not a squirrel, because if I ended up on one of those, I would die right where I landed. 🤢

@SaveAmericaNew No, because they are still doing it! 😠😡

@MaryTilesTexas @elonmusk @DOGE Me too 🫤

@SenSanders Of course you did. You are bought and paid for by big pharma. You could care less about the damage big pharma does. Pathetic

@emeraldTEC Not a bot
