In a recent government meeting, former EPA Chief of Staff under the Trump administration, Miss Gunasekara, reaffirmed her support for Project 2025's controversial proposal to reinstate Schedule F. This initiative could potentially lead to the dismissal of approximately 50,000 federal civil servants, a move Gunasekara argues is necessary to streamline the federal bureaucracy and enhance the effectiveness of agencies tasked with protecting public health and the environment.
Gunasekara emphasized that the growth of the federal workforce hinders agencies from fulfilling their critical missions. When asked about her interest in serving in a future Trump administration, she clarified that she does not seek a position but believes it is within the president's rights to implement the recommendations of Project 2025, including the proposed firings.
She also mentioned her upcoming book, \"Y'all Fired, A Southern Bell's Guide to Restoring Federalism and Draining the Swamp,\" which outlines her suggestions for restructuring the federal government. Gunasekara noted that her views are shared by many within the conservative movement and among the American public, indicating a potential alignment of perspectives among future administration officials should Trump win another term.
