Trump is tightening his grip on the federal government by making it easier to fire and replace career civil servants in policy jobs, weakening traditional job protections, and sidelining internal watchdogs that protect workers from political retaliation. At the same time, he has issued orders that pull supposedly independent agencies—like the FTC, SEC, FCC, and key financial regulators—under closer White House control, forcing them to align their budgets, regulations, and legal interpretations with presidential priorities instead of acting at arm’s length. Together, these changes shift power away from neutral experts and semi‑independent commissions and concentrate it in the presidency, reducing long‑standing checks on how any one president can use the machinery of the federal government.
