Those seeking a job in the federal government will now have to write an essay in support of Donald Trump’s executive orders, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.
Vince Haley, the White House’s head of domestic policy, wrote in the May 29 memorandum that all civil service applicants must answer a series of essays as part of the job recruitment process, including one about how they would “help advance” Trump’s policy priorities.
Is that not a fair question to ask a potential employee?
“How will you advance our aims?”
Given, that’s fucked up to ask government workers, beyond the pale, but it’s not mandatory “praise Trump”.
Government workers serve the constitution, not the cheeto king.
