President Trump has made controversial decisions to slash federal workers and research funding, following discussions with tech mogul Elon Musk, who has been a prominent advisor in the Trump administration. The latest target of Trump's cost-cutting measures is the National Health Institutes, which is facing multiple resignations in response to the drastic changes.
With Musk's guidance, Trump has also turned his attention to the digital currency Dogecoin, causing significant upheaval in financial markets. The impact of these cuts and changes in policy is being felt across the country, as essential services are being scaled back and workers are being left without job security.
Critics of the administration have raised significant concerns about the long-term consequences of these decisions, pointing to the potential negative effects on public health and the economy. As the fallout from Trump's orders continues to unfold, many are left wondering about the future of federal agencies and the overall direction of the country.
