Federal employees who voted for Trump express feelings of betrayal over mass firings led by Elon Musk, stating they did not support such drastic measures. While some appreciate Trump's efforts to reduce government waste, they are disillusioned by the consequent job losses and express regret. One employee articulated the sentiment's gravity, comparing the firings to a reality show rather than a responsible governance approach. Overall, these workers support Trump's military and border policies, but they reject Musk's intervention in the federal workforce management.
David Pasquino, a former Veterans Affairs employee who voted for Trump, expressed disappointment in the recent mass firings led by Elon Musk, stating they should use a scalpel, not a chainsaw.
A Veterans Affairs employee who voted for Trump lamented, "I feel betrayed. This is not what I wanted, to let everybody lose their job," referring to the firings.
Another VA employee stated, "I don't like Elon Musk. I don't want him meddling into my business. He's not the president. Trump is."
Harrison Fields, the White House's principal deputy press secretary, emphasized that Trump returned to Washington with a mandate to cut government waste.
