BREAKING: Trump Press Sec Lies to LITTLE KIDS

A child asked Karoline Leavitt how many people Trump has fired, and she lied to them while giggling.

This comes right after over a dozen Americans died in storms because Trump thought it would be a brilliant idea to fire NWS and NOAA employees who alert us 24/7, keeping our communities safe.

Five former NWS directors warned that the "worst nightmare" would be that weather forecast offices become so understaffed that there is a needless loss of life due to lackluster warnings. Kentucky just saw 28 people die in a severe storm.

Let’s set the record straight. Trump has fired a lot of people, and Americans are dying because of it.

Federal Workforce Layoffs

• The White House has not provided an official total, but reporting suggests that over 200,000 federal employees across multiple agencies have had their roles slashed in the opening months of 2025.

Inspectors General

• At least 17 inspectors general—some of whom Trump himself appointed during his first term—have been fired across various agencies.

High-Level Firings

• The director of the National Security Agency (NSA), Air Force Gen. Tim Haugh, was abruptly fired in April 2025, along with his civilian deputy, Wendy Noble.
