@nytimes: One of President Trump’s first executive orders claims the power to fire, and hire, tens of thousands of career civil servants across the government. Astead W. Herndon, a national politics reporter and the host of the politics podcast “The Run-Up,” explains the order, which has drawn lawsuits from federal unions. Video by Astead W. Herndon, James Surdam, Katia Vannoy, Rebecca Suner and Gabriel Blanco/The New York Times #trump #executiveorder

obey the president? They work for us. Everyone in government work for the people of the United States not just one man. He can set the policies but cannot dictate political allegance..

He signed so many at once because the media cycle can't focus on all of them.

I would not be surprised if he forms his own militia, perhaps from those he pardoned on January 6th, and hobbles the U.S. military; the military has its allegiance to the Constitution, not to him.

The people he has appointed thus far are the least capable and qualified I have ever seen, we don't need more political appointees we need experts in their field.

It effectively builds a metaphorical moat around him; most dictatorship regimes have been overthrown with the help of resistance in the military or within the government.

Consider also that dictatorships often give power to non-elected non-official groups that serve only the dictator.

By having control over federal employees he can control political allegiance. He can hire and fire at will, thereby preventing any sort of resistance from forming within the government.
