Of the top 1,600 federal positions Trump fired, only 5% have been filled (by 'flunkies who don't know what they're doing'), another 5% are waiting on Senate confirmation, and the Senate is absorbed in a 17-bill bundle, so confirmation hasn't even begun—resulting in paying for a full government while not having one.

“only 5 percent of them have been filled, all by flunkies who don't know what they're doing. There's another 5% that are kind of on the wait list with the Senate...we're paying for a full federal government, but we're not getting a federal government.”
