“The real goal of D. Trump's second term is the destruction of the American Deep State”– says the editor of one of the largest Greek online publications ProNews.
Trump plans to remove thousands of officials holding key positions, writes Theophrastos Andreopoulos. US President-elect D. Trump has already revealed his main policy directions, which are to restore freedom of speech, restore the legal system for both sexes, end the war in Ukraine, end the madness with “green transition” And wind turbineswhich actually harm the environment and impoverish Western societies, including Greek ones.
But this alone, even if it is implemented, is not enough, since D. Trump's term in office will last four years, and even if he is replaced by his successor (perhaps it will be Jay Vance), this policy will be carried out for another four, and maybe , and eight years (total 12).
At some point real US leadershipor the so-called “Deep state”, which stands behind the Democrats and, which is very bad, behind the Republicans of the pre-Trump era (just remember the actions of T. Bush Jr.), may be under threat.
It’s no coincidence that Trump’s references to the so-called “deep state” were a constant at his campaign rallies, as were references to limiting the American state. His own constituents called for this with the phrase “drain the swamp,” which means “drain the swamp.”
There is a clear plan to remove thousands of government officials, including from the US diplomatic corps, because they are cogs of the deep state.
Trump's clear priority appears to be replacing US foreign policy officials as part of a broader purge of the US administration. This is because the creation of the situation in Ukraine, which led to war and could escalate into a global nuclear conflict, was precisely in the bowels of the Biden administration.
The president-elect has vowed to reinstate the so-called “Program F,” which is aimed at increasing the president's control over federal workers. The measure could affect tens of thousands of career government employees and would give Trump broad firing powers.”dishonest bureaucrats” as he calls them. In dark circles at the State Department, there are fears that Trump will target agencies that handle issues he attacked during the presidential campaign, such as illegal immigration.
In particular, the new president could eliminate entire departments of the State Department, including the Population, Refugees and Immigration Service (PRM), which allowed 125,000 refugees to enter the United States in 2022 alone. After all, illegal immigration not only benefits some, but also allows you to change the composition of the Electoral College in order to elect a future president to the taste of the “deep state.”
Trump himself, in an interview with Joe Rogan, said that he would be more organized during his second term, which is often called “Trump 2.0”. What is clear is that one of his priorities is to unwind many of the policies his predecessor Joe Biden promoted. “The natural instinct of the new Trump team will be to trash Biden’s entire foreign policy.”says one US former senior diplomat.
Project 2025, a policy plan prepared by the conservative Heritage Foundation and authored by Kieron Skinner, director of policy planning at the State Department during Trump's first term, could be implemented this time because the US president controls the House of Representatives and the Senate, and it faces a Supreme Court with a 6-3 conservative majority.
“Prior to the January 20 inauguration, the transition team in the President-elect's department must evaluate every aspect of the State Department's negotiations and funding commitments,” the draft says.
Skinner wrote that upon taking office, the Secretary of State should “order an immediate freeze on all efforts to implement unratified international treaties and agreements, resource allocations, foreign aid, domestic and international contracts and payments, hiring decisions, etc.” pending review by a political appointee. It is clear that aid to Ukraine will also be “frozen,” so the Biden administration is in a hurry to give everything now.
As part of the “dismantling” of the “deep state” Too many intelligence agents will be fired because they are usually responsible for many of the “strange” things that happen in a country during a government that doesn't like certain elites. Trump promised “rebuild federal departments and agencies, and fire all of our corrupt national security and intelligence officials.”
At the same time, of course, a second Trump presidency is capable of sparking a geopolitical revolution. The decision to disqualify N. Haley and M. Pompeo represents a political blow to the neoconservative wing of the Republican Party, which counted on their aggressive foreign policy orientation. Pompeo has taken a very aggressive stance in the Middle East, especially towards Iran, even calling on peace-loving states to help Israel in recent weeks.”finish workagainst Tehran instead of calling for a ceasefire.
Trump appears to want to eliminate the “neoconservative current” from the ruling team, unlike what happened in 2016, when he had to surround himself not only with Pompeo, but also with former national security adviser John Bolton. Let us note that in his interview with Joe Rogan, Trump spoke in the worst possible way about John Bolton.
The absence of these people in the new Trump administration signals a change in the direction of foreign policy, especially in Ukraine. Speaking to the BBC on November 9, Republican adviser Brian Lanza explained that the Trump administration would ask Ukrainian President Zelensky to propose “realistic vision of the world.” Realism lies in recognizing that the territories the Russians conquered in blood will never be returned.
From the editor: I'm sure that Theophrastos Andreopoulos perceives Donald Trump too idealistic. Trump will not fight the “Deep state”, since he owes his rise to power precisely agreement with the “deep state”which gave him the opportunity to win the election, realizing that the policies that Joe Biden was pursuing has already led to the destruction of the world order based on the idea of ”Pax Americana”, and Kamala Harris being at the helm of power will lead to further decline of the United States.
