Mass Resignations: Why Officials Are Fleeing Before Trump’s Return

High-ranking officials across various U.S. government agencies are resigning ahead of President Trump's return. This "self-deportation," as it's being called, is driven by anticipated firings and the prospect of working under Trump's appointees, including controversial figures like Matt Gaetz and Kash Patel. The resignations span several key positions, including the FBI director, FAA chief, and SEC chairman, leaving vacancies for Trump to fill with loyalists. The departures reflect a broader anticipated reshaping of the government under Trump's administration, with some suggesting it amounts to a dismantling of existing structures and processes. The political implications are significant, as Republicans now hold the power to fill key positions and shift the direction of several agencies.
