WASHINGTON, D.C. — Reports circulated today that President-Elect Donald Trump was worried that large numbers of corrupt government officials would start quitting before he would have the opportunity to tell them, "You're fired."
Sources indicated that one of the things Trump had been looking forward to most in his return to the White House was having the opportunity to personally say "You're fired" to record numbers of career bureaucrats and underperforming government employees, an experience that would be denied him if they all quit before January 20, 2025.
"It's my catchphrase," Trump reportedly said wistfully with his head in his hands.
According to insiders, federal workers were panicking in light of Trump's election victory and threatened to resign en masse before he had the chance to clean house upon being inaugurated.
"He can't drain the swamp if the swamp drains itself," witnesses overheard Special Counsel Jack Smith saying. "4D checkmate, Trump."
Sources close to Trump report that rumors of Smith's sudden resignation triggered the president-elect. "I was going to say the thing. I was going to say it, and they're taking it from me," Trump reportedly said.
In response, the Trump transition team distributed a memo encouraging federal employees not to resign before Trump could fire them. However, it is not expected to work, as experts argued having people wait around to be fired has rarely been successful.
At publishing time, President-Elect Trump had issued a statement on his Truth Social account stating that any federal employee who was caught quitting their job would be immediately fired.

I bet a lot of them have quit or are threatening to quit right now though.
News has been weird since the election. They're talking a lot but not saying much.
Don't you remember 8 years ago when all of those people had started coming out and quitting their government jobs in protest of Trump instead of staying on board and trying to use their previous position of influence to resist him?
I sure do. That was a big "told ya so" moment for Ted, who couldn't stop posting about those people as they quit. I got a great laugh out of it when they were doing it, and I really appreciated Ted going out of his way to make a list of weak and pathetic idiots for us at the time.
I assume they're doing more of the same today. But the news isn't reporting on it because I don't think the "news" has figured out how they want to keep newsing in the future.
It would be an easy decision to make if your directive and purpose as an organization is to use any ammo you can find to take Trump down. Democrats quitting government positions in droves 8 years ago was more of that ammo, which they gleefully fired at the Trump Administration at the time.
I think they're afraid to do that this time.
I believe they've gone all-in on one too many bad bets, and their only current viable course of action is inaction.

Trump is fine.
He is also your current President.
