“As of today, the new Trump administration has hired more than a thousand people for the United States government. They are outstanding in every way, and you will see the fruits of their labor for years to come. We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and it will happen very soon!” the new Commander in Chief said in the post.
“To save time, money and effort, it would be helpful if you did not send us or recommend people who have worked or are supported by Americans for No Prosperity (led by Charles Koch), “Dumb as a Rock” John Bolton, ‘Birdbrain’ Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, the disloyal warmongers Dick Cheney, and his Psycho daughter, Liz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General (?) Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Yesper or any of the other people who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, better known as TDS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.
Haley and Pence each made bids for the Republican presidential nomination during the recent election cycle, but both ultimately dropped out. While Haley supported Trump, Pence did not.
