Trump celebrates 'golden age' on the same day announced layoffs surge

Raw Story  

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday to repeat his slogan about a new "golden age of America," but applied it to the broad government spending and staff cuts. As the Secretaries learn about, and understand, the people working for the various Departments, they can be very precise as to who will remain, and who will go," Trump wrote. As members of the National Weather Service and NOAA staff recently explained, cuts so far have been based on the length of time someone has held their current position and whether it was within the probationary period. As reported by Reuters on Thursday, the number of announced layoffs in the United States has "jumped to levels not seen since the last two recessions."
