Summary

Trump reversed his directive to fire thousands of probationary (newly-hired) federal employees after a judge ruled the mass terminations were likely illegal.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) clarified that agencies are not required to comply with previous instructions to fire employees who have held their jobs for a year or less. Instead, agencies have until September 13 to develop their own staffing reduction plans.

Some agencies, like the National Science Foundation (NSF), are now rehiring previously fired employees.

Federal labor unions have sued, arguing the firings violated procedural rules and congressional authority. The administration’s sudden reversal still leaves uncertainty about affected workers' status.

I never understood why people liked that (shit) show. I tried watching it once and couldn't stand listening to his fucking stupidity.

The only one I watched was the one with Gene Simmons. The "goal" was to make I think like $5000 by running a hotdog stand. So Gene, a real businessman, sold one hotdog with his signature to a fan. At the end of the episode Trump fired him. Because of some bullshit reason. I think it was because Trump didn't like that Gene was more popular than he was and knew how to do marketing.
