The discussion took a lighter turn when Trump poked fun at Rosie O’Donnell’s move to Ireland. However, things heated up again when a reporter questioned the recent firings of federal employees.
On Tuesday, the Department of Education announced a significant personnel reduction, cutting nearly half its workforce under the guidance of Secretary Linda McMahon. This bold move has sparked debate across the country.
A reporter attempted to corner Trump on the matter, asking, “What responsibility do you feel to the civil servants who have now lost their jobs? Many of them worked at the Department of Education during your first term?”
President Trump, unfazed, responded, “Sure I feel badly, but many of them don’t work at all. Many of them never showed up to work. Many of them never showed up to work, Kelly — we want to cut the people that aren’t working.”
