“… “What he’s doing is saying, ‘are you actually working?’ And then if you don’t answer, like you’re sort of semi-fired, or you’re fired, because a lot of people are not answering because they don’t even exist,” Trump said, sitting next to French President Emmanuel Macron in the Oval Office.

He also called the email “great.” …”
