It sounds like President Trump just signed an executive order requiring all Federal employees to immediately return to full time work at their places of employment.

I would like to see a full audit of every Federal employee's job on the payroll, to make sure there is actually a live body collecting that paycheck. It wouldn't surprise me if there were quite a few ghost employees with all the hanky panky that goes on in Washington.

He should park the Trump Garbage Truck along the National Mall for those who don’t wish to return to the office to drop their badges and laptops.
