Trump’s purge of America’s public servants: AMERICAN CARNAGE
Posted by Labour Hub on February 26, 2026
"A year into Trump 2.0, large parts of the American civil service have been destroyed, while other parts have been coopted to implement not only MAGA’s broader political agenda but also Trump’s vengeance campaign against individuals who investigated him or took part in efforts to understand what had happened on January 6th, 2021. My book, American Carnage: How Trump, Musk, and DOGE Butchered the US Government, explains that story, focusing on eleven individuals, across eight government agencies, as they were buffeted by the hurricane force winds unleashed by Trump and Musk."
