Fox News host Jesse Watters mentioned his mother is “upset” after studying that her daughter’s office will probably be impacted by the Department of Government Efficiency, whose purported quest to slash wasteful public spending by dismantling numerous federal companies beforehand earned reward from Watters.

“I just saw some news that [President Donald] Trump took some grants away from Johns Hopkins [University]where my sister works, and now my mom’s upset,” the conservative pundit mentioned Thursday on his “Primetime” present. “She’s texting me, it’s going to be a whole family thing. So we’ll have to deal with that over the weekend.”

Trump was personally moved by February’s on-air plea from Watters, a White House official advised The Atlantic final week, and was reportedly sad with the destructive protection surrounding DOGE, which he personally tasked billionaire Elon Musk to steer.

Despite stories of his dissatisfaction, Trump introduced on his Truth Social platform earlier this month that “DOGE has been an incredible success.”

On Thursday, a federal choose ordered the Trump administration to reinstate 1000’s of presidency staff who had been fired as a part of DOGE’s sweeping cuts, calling the terminations “unlawful.”
