Trump’s Email and the Doge-Like Mystery of Missing Government Workers
You're talking about the last email that was sent where he wanted to know what you did this week. You know why he wanted that, by the way? I thought it was great because we have people that don't show up to work and nobody even knows if they work for the government.
So by asking the question, "Tell us what you did this week," what he's doing is saying, "Are you actually working?" And then if you don't answer, like you're sort of semi-fired or you're fired, because a lot of people are not answering because they don't even exist. That's how badly various parts of our government were run, especially by this last group.
So what they're doing is they're trying to find out who's working for the government. Are we paying other people that aren't working? And where's the money gone? We have found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud so far, and we've just started. We're actually going to Fort Knox to see if the gold is there, because maybe somebody stole the gold. Tons of gold.
So I think it was actually, there was a lot of genius in sending it. We're trying to find out if people are working. And so we're sending a letter to people, "Please tell us what you did last week." If people don't respond, it's very possible that there is no such person.
