Trump administration to prioritize
‘patriotic Americans’ for federal jobs
As President Donald Trump moves to
slash the size of the federal workforce,
his administration unveiled a plan to
ensure that any new hires are “patriotic
Americans” who vow to advance the
president’s policy priorities.
The White House and the agency that
serves as the government’s human
resources arm Thursday released
directives for departments to use
when recruiting employees in a memo
that represents a dramatic shift in
federal hiring procedures.
Trump and his allies have railed
against civil servants, accusing
them of working to undermine the
president’s policy priorities. The
new hiring plan will require job
applicants to write short essays
describing how they plan to advance
Trump’s priorities.
Under the plan, all federal job
vacancy announcements starting at
the GS-5 pay grade or above will
require short essay responses to
questions about their commitment
to the Constitution, how they plan
to improve government efficiency,
how they plan to advance Trump’s
executive orders and policy
priorities, and about their work
ethic. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/30/trump-administration-patriotic-americans-federal-workforce-00376752
