Trump Administration Unleashes New Rule Aimed at Firing Bad Federal Workers

President Trump is all about bringing back accountability and ensuring our country is run efficiently and with We the People’s best interests at heart.

The Trump administration is taking bold steps to drain the swamp, starting with a new rule to make it easier to say “You’re Fired!” to federal workers who are not doing their job or, worse, are breaking the public’s trust. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is spearheading this, aiming to slash the red tape that has protected bad actors for far too long.

This is not merely talk. OPM’s Acting Director, Chuck Ezell, put it plainly, as reported by Fox News Digital:

This proposed rule ensures misconduct is met with consequence and reinforces that public service is a privilege, not a right.

A breath of fresh air, yes? Public service IS a privilege, and We the People are overdue seeing that principle enforced.

The new rule means business. It is part of President Trump’s DOGE initiative for good old-fashioned spring cleaning in Washington D.C. Agencies will now have “broader authority” to flag serious issues like tax evasion or leaking sensitive information. Basically, if a federal employee is acting in a way which is “inconsistent with the public trust,” there will be real consequences.

This rule is about making sure the people tasked with running our government are actually serving the people, not themselves. For too long, the process to remove underperforming or corrupt federal workers has been a nightmare of paperwork and endless appeals. This commonsense change aims to make the system work for taxpayers again.

President Trump is committed to cutting wasteful red tape, and putting America first is showing up in other big ways. Take, for example, the recent proposal to restore potential oil and gas drilling on a massive 13 million acres of government-owned land in the Arctic.

This move, reported by Moneycontrol, would roll back restrictions put in place by The Obiden Regime, and is a clear signal: America is getting back to using its own resources, boosting our energy independence, and creating jobs, instead of getting tangled up in endless “green” tape that does not serve our nation’s needs.

And speaking of serving the nation’s needs, President Trump is also taking a hard look at how our tax dollars are spent. His proposed 2026 budget includes some serious scrutiny for scientific research funding.

Now, some in ivory towers might cry foul, but let’s be honest: taxpayers deserve to know their money is being used wisely.

As Moneycontrol noted:

[T]his isn’t about stopping progress; it’s about making sure federally funded research is efficient and focused on real breakthroughs, not just endless studies that lead nowhere.

This new rule is another necessary piece of the puzzle:

[E]nsuring fiscal responsibility and cutting out the fat.

These actions, from holding federal employees accountable to unleashing American energy and demanding smarter spending, all point to one thing:

President Trump is serious about his promise.

He is working to make government lean, mean, and truly for the people.
