Trump planned to weed out anyone disloyal to him, including via the newly crafted 'Schedule F.'

Most spoke on condition of anonymity to describe sensitive planning and avoid Trump’s ire.
He gave McEntee his blessing to start ridding the federal government of his enemies and replacing them with Trump people. McEntee was to ignore the "At the president's direction, McEntee weeded out administration officials deemed to be disloyal or obstructionist.

They believed, by and large, that the American republic needed saving from a range of domestic enemies and an embedded "deep state" sabotaging Trump from within.a senior government lawyer previously at the Heritage Foundation. Kloster helped McEntee’s deputy, James Bacon, develop his questionnaire to vet government employees and overhaul the government’s hiring process.
Kloster spent hours, sometimes over multiple days, conducting interviews and designing methodology to identify "someone who's not on the team."where they ideally wanted to be promoted to in the government. If a job candidate wanted to work in "international finance" it set off alarm bells.
"It's not just that being 'canceled' motivates a person; it's also that being canceled indicates a person knows the kind of heat that is brought to bear by the media, by institutions, and the public, and is probably better able to fight when the time comes," Kloster told Axios.— working hand in glove — had org charts to plan a second term. They had a chart for each federal agency and they had them printed on large boards for review.
But the "fire" list was just the start. To respond to Trump's demand to clean out the "deep state," McEntee would need far-reaching powers and a legal rationale to supply them. that detailed "a growing wave of opposition from the federal workers" who were charged with implementing Trump's agenda. It struck Sherk. The language in the Code was not limited to political appointees. The wording was "confidential, policy-determining, policy-making or policy-advocating."Conservatives had long dreamed of applying these criteria to career staff as well as political appointees. Sherk's relatively untrained eyes saw a fresh path in the statute.
Sherk and a small group of Trump political appointees worked quickly. They completed a draft of the order by late spring of 2019. They sent paper copies to senior political appointees at a few agencies to get their feedback. They gave these officials firm instructions not to share any details of the order with the career staff at their agencies.
