Trump Will be Able to Fire Biden’s Liberal Political Appointees
There has been some concern that Joe Biden is tying to make it more difficult for President Donald Trump to fire his liberal political appointees. But a new report indicates Trump may have an easier time getting rid of the pro-abortion leftist appointees than expected.
Thanks in part to a court fight former Trump White House spokesman Sean Spicer lost over his firing by Biden from a three-year term to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, the incoming president will have the legal backing to dump any of Biden’s over 4,000 appointments who try to stick around.
And the best part, Spicer told Secrets, “They’ll have no one to blame but Biden himself.”

The case dates to Sept. 8, 2021, when Biden began to fire Trump allies from the visitor boards at the academies of the Navy, the Air Force, and the Army.
Spicer and others, including Russ Vought (just picked by Trump to head the Office of Management and Budget) and former Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway, were unceremoniously dumped despite several of them having time left on their three-year terms.
A judge eventually ruled that a president can fire political appointees whether they have an expired term or not.
“What no one ever understood was this was not about actually getting back on the board, because my term had been expired for months. It was forcing them to argue in the affirmative that they had the ultimate authority to fire anybody at any time, which they did. And the court accepted that. So the Biden administration is now on record in court, and the court agreed that the president had absolute authority to fire anyone he wants,” Spicer said in an interview.
“The whole point is now, on day one, President Trump can go in and fire everyone and say it was the Biden folks who told us that we could do this,” he said of aiding White House executives who seek to hire the loyal team that Trump wants.
This is good news for pro-life advocates who want quite a number of pro-abortion appointees and officials fired for pushing the abortion agenda or discriminating against pro-life Americans, for example in branches of the Department of Justice or FBI.
