Actually, that was a rather tasteless move.
And the .gov workers in DC will hate Trump even more.
Having been fired twice when I didn’t deserve (and once when I did, but I was a 17 year old smart ass and learned from it) basically from office politics, I do feel for the guy. But retirement at 50 is really for those folks in physically demanding jobs, if even that. I can see someone with 30 years in the Army or 25 as a firefighter being pretty much ready for the porch, but a suit?
Still, mess with the bull and get the horns, nobody could be dumb enough to doubt Pres Trump wouldn’t fire their butt.
