Dismantling Schedule F and making most government jobs political appointments - where people can be fired at whim - seems particularly madcap. A return to spoils of war system; anyone who doesn't totally fall in line can be axed.

John Oliver covered Project 2025 & got to Schedule F specifically, https://youtu.be/gYwqpx6lp_s#t=12m40s

Did Trump or his staff write it? You realize he's disavowed it?

Yes, it's from many former staffers, but they are former staffers, not active. There has been very little policy debate this election cycle, so I honestly have no clue what Trump or Biden actually want to do with their second terms.

His VP has endorsed it.
Trump "disavowed" it and then wished them good luck. Classic Trump. We're not stupid - we've seen Trump play this game before.
