Trump's Federal Worker Buyouts Criticized as Backfiring Strategy

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance warns that the administration's efforts to reshape the federal workforce may have galvanized opposition among civil servants.

President Donald Trump's administration introduced buyout offers to federal employees, reportedly aiming to replace them with loyalists.
Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance described the move as a 'trap' designed to remake the civil service into a more compliant workforce.
Critics, including Vance, argue that the buyout strategy has inadvertently motivated many federal workers to resist and remain in their roles.
Vance highlighted the dedication and expertise of career civil servants, emphasizing their commitment to their duties despite challenges.
Observers note that Trump's actions may be fueling the very 'deep state' opposition he has long alleged but previously lacked evidence to substantiate.
