President Trump spoke at CPAC this weekend to thunderous applause and remained the clear conservative favorite in a straw poll taken at the convention.
He also hit on all the important issues that matter to America First supporters, including immigration and the failures of the Biden administration.
Perhaps the greatest frustration for America First conservatives during Trump’s presidency is that his policy initiatives were repeatedly frustrated by corrupt bureaucrats who undermined him at every step.
From domestic to foreign policy, lifetime employees of the federal government worked against the Presidential administration that they were supposed to be serving.
Perhaps the most shocking example was when the outgoing envoy from Syria admitted that they were playing “shell games” with the number of US soldiers in the region, openly admitting that they were lying to senior Trump administration officials to prevent a withdrawal from the country.
Trump will not repeat the same mistake he made during his first term, and said that the next Republican President must root out these corrupt bureaucrats.

Former President Donald Trump once again talked about overhauling the administrative state on Saturday, telling a crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas that the next Congress and president need to “remove rogue bureaucrats and root out the deep state.”
Trump told the CPAC audience:
As we secure the border, another key priority for the next Congress and the next President will be to drain the swamp once and for all to remove rogue bureaucrats and root out the deep state. Congress should pass groundbreaking reform empowering the president to ensure that any federal employee who is corrupt, incompetent, or unnecessary for the job can be told, “You’re fired.” You ever heard that? You’re fired.
Trump’s comments come after recent reports asserted Trump would use his Schedule F executive order to fire nearly 50,000 government bureaucrats if he returns to the White House in 2024.
