President Clarifies Secretaries Make Staffing Decisions While DOGE Advises

President Trump calls Musk a patriot for the federal audit work getting accomplished.

President Donald Trump recently said that he informed his Secretaries that final decisions for layoffs in their departments remain up to them and not the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). 

“We just had a meeting with most of the Secretaries, Elon, and others, and it was a very positive one,” President Trump stated. “It’s very important that we cut levels down to where they should be, but it’s also important to keep the best and most productive people.”

“As the Secretaries learn about, and understand, the people working for the various Departments, they can be very precise as to who will remain, and who will go. We say the ‘scalpel’ rather than the ‘hatchet,’” President Trump added.

Though staffing decisions continue to be the Secretaries’ responsibility, the president instructed his Cabinet leaders to continue working with DOGE staff members to enact his presidential agenda.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

  • For President Trump to receive God’s direction as he heads the Executive Branch.
  • For Advisor Musk and DOGE personnel as they audit federal agencies and departments.
  • For discernment for the Cabinet secretaries as they implement staffing reductions.
