The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

These rehires prove DOGE's aggressive cost-cutting went too far, too fast and left critical government functions broken. The GSA has been operating in "triage mode" for months without enough people to carry out basic functions, creating costly confusion that undermines taxpayer services. There's no evidence these reductions delivered any actual savings — just administrative chaos and wasted resources.

Pro-Trump narrative

The federal workforce needed dramatic restructuring to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse, and some adjustments during this massive overhaul were always expected. Under the Trump administration, the workforce has been reduced by roughly 300,000, the largest single-year cut in decades, while GSA leadership continues making necessary corrections in the best interest of agencies and taxpayers. Plus, the vast majority of separations were voluntary, not forced.
