Those seeking a job in the federal government will now have to write an essay in support of Donald Trump's executive orders, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

Vince Haley, the White House's head of domestic policy, wrote in the May 29 memorandum that all civil service applicants must answer a series of essays as part of the job recruitment process, including one about how they would "help advance" Trump's policy priorities.

I hope that some agency in the US will start organizing educational visits to North Korea, where this tradition of writing essays about the supreme leader has been practiced for decades and the people there have a vast amount of experience that they would selflessly pass on to the citizens of the former Land of the Free.
