Trump posted the meme a day after his lieutenant Elon Musk threatened to fire federal employees who fail to respond to a demand to list their recent accomplishments.

President Trump cracked a joke using an edited SpongeBob SquarePants meme Sunday to poke fun at outrage over Elon Musk’s demand that federal workers explain what they did at work last week.    The 47th president appeared to signal his approval with Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) orchestrating an email sent out by the Office of Personnel Management over the weekend that asked employees to list five accomplishments by 11:59 p.

Trump shared an image of the absorbent, yellow and porous icon puzzling over a notepad with a pencil in his hand. The second image shows a list of accomplishments — written by SpongeBob's friend Patrick Star — that included "cried about Trump" and "made it to the office for once."
