Trump Supporter Who Cheered Firing Of National Security Staffers Pleads For Help After Wife Has VA Job Rescinded Due To Hiring Freeze
John Basham of Texas pleaded with Trump over the 'unintended consequence' of his executive order


A Donald Trump supporter from Texas, who appeared to relish in national security staffers "sent packing" by the president, ended up pleading with GOP Sen. Ted Cruz to help his wife after she got caught up in a federal hiring freeze that Trump imposed after being sworn in on Monday.

John Basham, a former city council member in Reno, Texas, went on his X account on Tuesday to implore Trump, Cruz and his 93,000 followers to contact the White House to "fix this error."


In the posting, Basham said his wife was recently hired as a nurse by Veterans Affairs and they prepared to move their family from Fort Worth to Waco. But then Trump signed the executive order implementing the temporary hiring freeze with a few exclusions for military and immigration enforcement.

"Following Trump's Hiring Freeze EO, VA Rescinded Her Job Offer! My Wife Is In Tears & Inconsolable & My Family Is Devastated!," Basham wrote.

4. Here he is cheering the job losses of others

In a posting on X titled "BREAKING: TRUMP SENDS HOME DEEP STATE & BIDEN NATIONAL SECURITY HOLDOVERS!" Basham expressed his delight at the development, remarked they were "sent packing."

"Career Federal Employees, Commonly Referred To As Detailees, But Notoriously Known As The Deep State, Were Summoned To An All-Staff Call & Told They're Expected To Be Available To WHNSC Senior Directors But DO NOT REPORT TO THE WHITE HOUSE FOR WORK UNLESS NOTIFIED TO DO SO!" he said.

Schadenfreude we're Dished up!

10. When MAGAs get screwed by Trump they will assume it is a mistake.

For the rest of us they want getting screwed to be on purpose.

42. His wife is a nurse

She can just get another job. Thems the breaks

[ShazzieB]

53. That was the first thing that popped into my head.

Nurses are some of the most employable people in this country.

I'm sure it sucks to have a job offer suddenly pulled like that, but this dude was cheering for job opportunities being ripped away from other people, until it happened to HIS wife. The hypocrisy here is staggering.

[Volaris]

69. The reason theyre upset is they wanted her to have a good federal govt job,

Complete with all the benefits.
Because THEY DESERVE THAT (and all the Not They's can kick rocks because THOSE people are just greedy poors and ARENT DESERVING)

THATS why they're upset.

30. INTENDED CONSEQUENCES

Trump is slashing money from the Government budget to pay for his new planned tax cuts for the morbidly rich. Or as one person put it, why give money to ordinary Americans when it could go to a deserving rich person?

[MiHale]

31. Oh, go buy some oranges...wait!...what?...

Ok then go buy some cheaper eggs to sooth your soul…WAIT!…What?

[Seinan Sensei]

61. That's right

No more soufflé for the Bashams

32. Gee, I wonder

if they sold their house. That would be a shame.

[Bird Lady]

33. Welcome to the jungle...

And the find out portion of your vote. You didn't mind fucking over other people but when it is you or yours, you cry like a baby. Well get your pacifier out you're going to need it because you'll get as much out of it as you will felonious45. I feel nothing but disgust for you and your ilk.

[Volaris]

70. This is why dems just need to let the leopards eat,

because we need about 25million more of these stories in the next few years if we're gonna bury MAGA for good.

[Omnipresent]

34. Cry me a river, maga shithead!

I guess you get to suffer just like anyone else in this new nation, you helped to create!!

[Bozvotros]

35. I hope schadenfreude isn't addictive

Because it's going to be easily available in large quantities for the next four years. I plan to get smashed on it a few times and then consume responsibly. Maybe.

[struggle4progress]

37. Back to Tennessee

... I got no ambition in life
I'm tired of sniffin glue
I wanna breathe that southern breeze
I'm gonna hijack one of them big jet planes
I'm goin back to Tennessee...

39. Time to cue Nelson.

[nolabear]

41. But he didn't mean MEEEEEEEEE!

Yes, Schmoopie, he means you. Now fuck all the way off.

[spudspud]

43. Every last one of these MAGA bastards has ZERO empathy. It's only when it happens TO THEM...

that they care about anything. And even then, they don't necessarily want the action rescinded, but just an exception for themselves. Selfish bastards.

[JHB]

44. To reiterate my response in another thread on this same guy...

Fella, just because you didn't intend THIS consequence when you supported him doesn't...

...make this an "unintended consequence." This is all part of putting him in power. It's a package deal. He hates sick people and he thinks veterans are suckers & losers. Less money for the VA means more to funnel to him and his cronies. You and your wife don't mean anything to him.

51. Only if she's 'hot'.

How far down the gop food chain do you feel when you find yourself groveling to Ted Cruz?

[Fla Dem]

50. Boo, hoo, hoo. You got what you voted for.

[VMA131Marine]

52. John Basham apparently didn't get the memo

that Trump wants to privatise the VA.

[Demovictory9]

55. Or that policies that hurt liberals hurt rightwinghers too

[sakabatou]

56. The leopard population must be growing

[djacq]

57. I feel a bit sorry for them "minus one"

Eggs at Giant Food, Northern Virginia...

6.79 dollars

[Wiz Imp]

58. It's terrible that I derive pleasure from reading articles like this

But that is what Trump and the Republican party has wrought. They have no empathy. Cruelty is the point of so many of the "policies" now. So I can't help myself - it make me happy when people who voted for him suffer due to his actions.

[Vinca]

59. Somehow the MAGAs think these things will never apply to them.

Cheer up, Basham, there are plenty of citrus picking jobs open for her.

[PatrickforB]

60. What's the new mantra for these people? FAFO...yep n/t

[biophile]

63. Sad for the wife- it's her career in shambles

And we don’t know how she voted, really. Federal jobs used to be primo- good benefits and retirement even if salaries weren’t always on par with private sector. She can work somewhere else most likely but not with those excellent government perks. Hospitals hose have terrible benefits and retirement packages.

[Ruby the Liberal]

64. What a pity

[1812Over]

65. Basham

Oh well, too bad!

[William Gustafson]

66. " We Told You SO!!!"

67. GOOD

One of many magas in for a rude awakening

[LeftInTX]

68. They complained and she got her job. MAGATs always win.

We always lose....

[Hugin]

71. Without a FDA, CDC, NIH what are they going to do there?

Watch the vets die of treatable diseases?

Besides, she’s a female and their doctrines state she’s supposed to be at home barefoot and pregnant.

[LeftInTX]

72. Without an FDA, CDC, NIH wouldn't that apply to every nurse in the country?

[Hugin]

73. It does.

Nobody seems to care.

[live love laugh]

74. They will probably exempt him from the freeze.
