After bragging about creating jobs, Trump wants to slash federal jobs 20%.

Insiders said that the spending reductions in some departments could go as high as 10 percent and staff cuts to 20 percent, numbers that would rock Washington if he follows through.

At least two so-called “landing teams” in Cabinet agencies have relayed the call for cuts as part of their marching orders to shrink the flab in government.

The cuts would target discretionary spending, not mandated programs such as Medicare or Social Security, the sources said.

    Don’t forget the press, he wants it limited to just sean spicer and everyone else should get a roller with gold paint and help with repainting the White House to the golden house of rumps.

    From what I heard the Pentagon will be lucky if the job loss is equivalent to 20%

    Whatever they cut, if they cut, they’ll spend ten times as much on something else, probably the Pentagon, or building new hotels for Trump, courtesy of the US taxpayer.

    This is what they voted for, thus, this is what they will get.

    a machete across the gut of fuzzy would remove enough fat and save all the redundant jobs in the govt sector.

    He’ll need those funds for his first monument – a statue of Fearless Leader Vladimir Trump from Manhattan to Jersey. He’ll give it some self-stroking name, but we’ll think of it as the Colossus of Toads!
