Trump's Radical Plans to Reshape the Federal Workforce

TL;DR Summary
President Trump plans to significantly alter the federal government by potentially abolishing agencies and firing federal workers, leveraging a Republican-controlled Congress and a sympathetic judiciary. He aims to challenge the Impoundment Control Act to control federal spending and may relocate federal jobs to induce resignations. Trump also intends to use private investigators for appointee background checks and recess appointments to bypass Senate confirmations. His 'Department of Government Efficiency,' led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, will operate outside government oversight, raising concerns about transparency and influence.
