Trump posted the meme a day after his lieutenant Elon Musk threatened to fire federal employees who fail to respond to a demand to list their recent accomplishments.

Trump shared an image of the absorbent, yellow and porous icon puzzling over a notepad with a pencil in his hand. The second image shows a list of accomplishments — written by SpongeBob's friend Patrick Star — that included "cried about Trump" and "made it to the office for once."
