After rehiring hundreds of government employees laid off by DOGE, the Trump Administration is threatening more layoffs
Donald Trump’s DOGE is just another failure in a long list of achievements as president.
It turns out that Donald Trump — despite his sound positions and opinions on free speech, Jeffrey Epstein, Elon Musk, medicine, climate change, interest rates, taxes, tariffs, trials, judges, immigrants, constitutional law, morality, women, and eggs — is a massive, orange, barefaced liar.
The president of the United States sold the population of the country down the river, engine chug-chug-chugging to a brighter future. What he didn’t tell anyone was that he was going to appoint a car dealership owner turned tech billionaire Elon Musk to (quite literally) take a chainsaw to the livelihoods of thousands of working-class Americans.
In the name of “efficiency”, the unelected South African pretended to give money back to people by cutting federal jobs and aid across the country. There was a long and complex explanation on the website of his semi-serious government department on how he was saving money for Americans.

CNN writes that a small “cohort” of Musk’s aides “slept on cots on the agency’s sixth floor” as they “pursued plans to abruptly cancel nearly half of the 7,500 leases in the federal portfolio” and “sell hundreds of federally owned buildings with the goal of generating billions in savings.”
However, as with most things overseen by Trump’s administration, it was a shambolic mess that was of no use to anyone, other than gut the government’s already waning ability to work properly. And now they want to quietly sweep up the pieces.
According to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press, the General Services Administration has given the employees until the end of the week to accept or decline reinstatement to their roles.
It adds that if they accept, their time off will amount to a seven-month paid vacation that was funded by — you guessed it — ordinary American taxpayers.
