“Michelle’s client [a government agency] typically ordered widgets on a roughly quarterly basis. And then came in the new secretary and the DOGE clowns, who had more important things to do than running the agency. And so she ended up getting a panicked call from the No. 2 guy in the department, telling her that they were down to their last couple of boxes of widgets and instructing her to ‘move heaven and earth’ — at whatever cost — to get them some more. … Michelle did a little old-fashioned scrambling and finagling to get the materials she needed from a supplier other than her usual one and got the agency those widgets post haste. At which point the agency — utterly predictably, this being The Trump Show — refused to pay.” (04/16/25)
