35% : I want the Cabinet members to keep the good people, and the people that aren't doing a good job, that are unreliable, don't show up to work, etc., those people can be cut," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
22% : President Trump told his Cabinet members on Thursday that they are in charge of staff reductions, not Elon Musk, amid continuing questions over the billionaire adviser's role in a drastic reshaping of the federal government.
