Trump invokes SpongeBob SquarePants to mock outraged federal workers

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump used a “SpongeBob SquarePants” meme on Truth Social to mock federal employees after an email from Elon Musk to federal works sparked an outcry.

The meme, posted to Truth Social Sunday afternoon, depicts SpongeBob reviewing a checklist entitled “Got Done Last Week.” Items on the checklist are “Cried about Trump,’ “Cried about Elon,” “Made it into the office for once,” and “Cried about Trump and Elon some more.”

The hoopla began Saturday when Musk, labeled a special advisor to Trump for the new Department of Government Efficiency, warned federal employees of a new policy requiring them to detail their work efforts via email by the end of the day Monday to keep their jobs.

Employees were formally notified that day in an email from the Office of Management and Budget, the federal government’s HR department. The office said employees needed to detail five things they did last week.

“Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week,” Musk wrote Saturday afternoon on X. “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

So good on so many levels...especially depicting non-productive people as sponges.

Our public servants forgot that they are servants. Enjoy their pain. It’s not my fault feral employees got on the gravy train to rip me off. I hope they suffer.

It’s Christmas every day!

Anyone whining about this task deserves to be mocked.

Democrats are going to be demanding Trump return to the “mean” tweets of 2017-2020.

Very bad form. What good did it accomplish? None. What damage has it done? Plenty.

That’s because the left is out of touch with reality.

“ Very bad form. What good did it accomplish? None. What damage has it done? Plenty.”

I agree with that statement. He has enough problems, I don’t know why he makes more for himself. Makes more enemies for himself. It’s a petty, unbecoming thing for the President of the United States to do. Let others do it and stay out of the pettiness.
