“Good morning, this is the office of the combined Department of Social Security, Medicare - Medicaid, Education, Passports, and Homeland Security and Border Patrol... Hold for a second while I catch my breath, that is a mouthful... Thank you, how may I help you?
You say you applied for Social Security and Medicare over four years ago and have gotten no response, and you are starving and being evicted? And when you and your wife wanted to go on a cruise, you sent in your passports for renewal over three years ago and no one can find them?
Sir, we are understaffed here. After President Trump got rid of DEI hires, the thirty-seven remaining staffers in this agency are working as hard as we can. Thirty-four of us are working exclusively on border issues. The backlog to process Social Security and Medicare is forty-six years and climbing. Passports are twenty-three years. We don’t even do anything with Education.
But, since I am one of the brightest that President Trump brought in to correct the DEI hire mess, may I ask why you did not plan ahead for your retirement and medical needs? It is not the government’s fault that you cannot pay for treatment that will save your life. And why did you wait until three years before your trip to renew your passport? As an American, you need to take responsibility for yourself.
You say you want to talk to our boss? I will put you on his list. There are about 129,000 messages ahead of you. He comes in about every six months to throw them in the waste basket, if he is not playing golf with the President. They both like golf.
You say you will sue? Really? Surely you are aware that President Trump ignores all court orders unless they are in his favor? Good luck with that.
I must hang up soon because we will be getting our daily Zoom Presidential talk, it is the highlight of our workday.
On behalf of President Trump, have yourself a beautiful and bestest day. Don’t hesitate to call again. We are always here to help. Bye, y'all.’
