Donald Trump truly is an artist. For some inexplicable reason, millions of federal employees have government credit cards that they use to buy whatever they want… well, they DID, that is. That was before Trump.
In one of his funniest moves yet, Donald Trump just reset all those wasteful credit cards to a credit limit of one dollar.
This effectively makes every single one of those credit cards completely useless to to the employees who have them.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
For much of the federal workforce, pulling out a government credit card during the workday comes with a new refrain: “Your card has been declined.”
By placing a $1 spending limit on most government credit cards, the Trump administration has rendered them functionally useless. The move effectively freezes federally issued plastic for 30 days as part of adviser Elon Musk’s efforts to reduce government spending. The change in policy is affecting workers’ ability to pay for office supplies, travel expenses and equipment, according to interviews with employees, forcing managers to secure exemptions.
Trump also ordered the end to “nonessential travel” along with the credit card changes.
This is all such great news.
Who would ever have expected this. After all these years of conservatives wishing for this to happen, and it is FINALLY happening!
But, Trump has only two years to do this. So he better keep moving with all speed.
