President Trump is making significant changes to the federal government within weeks of taking office, creating fear among federal workers and recipients of federal aid. He is using two little-known agencies to cut funding for domestic and foreign assistance programs and make it easier to fire federal workers. Despite pushback from federal judges and public outcry, Trump is standing by his executive orders reorganizing the government. Many federal employees describe a climate of fear and confusion, as they feel monitored and pressured to resign from their positions. Critics argue that Trump’s actions could make the government less effective and more partisan. Trump allies support his efforts to cut government waste, but opponents say it will harm Americans and make the government less efficient. Trump’s actions have led to employees at agencies like USAID being placed on leave, discussions of folding agencies like the State Department, and dismissals of officials involved in the Capitol siege cases. Some federal workers are being offered buyouts to resign, and there is widespread concern about rapid disruptions and chaotic changes. Despite risks, Republicans believe Trump’s actions will benefit taxpayers and align the government with his America First agenda. Critics, however, argue that Trump’s actions conflict with the interests of his working-class supporters and may ultimately harm them. The long-term impact of Trump’s efforts to restructure the government remains uncertain, but he has vowed to continue streamlining the government to better serve the American people.
