President Trump [cabinet meeting]: We've done a lot of cutting [federal jobs]. A lot of cutting from people, ideally, the people who aren't doing the job. In many cases, people weren't attending jobs. In some cases, in many cases, people didn't exist. They had, on the government rolls, people that don't even exist…many didn't come to work. Many had no intention of coming to work. Many were paid and working someplace else. There were lots of bad scenarios, but they're being weeded out.
Secretary Noem [cabinet meeting]: This last week I was in Arizona, California, Alaska, and Florida, and CPB literally has almost a hundred percent operational control of the border.
President Trump: It will be Liberation Day [April 2], because we'll be taking in large amounts of money for our country, and that's lower taxes, and all of the things that are good. And jobs. A lot of jobs.
I think President Trump or Secretary Lutnick said the budget has to be balanced first.
