The taunt was part of another White House email urging federal employees to accept a "deferred resignation" offer.

The White House budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing federal grants after the administration’s move to halt spending earlier this week provoked a backlash.

The Trump administration has rescinded his previous order to freeze trillions of dollars of grants and loans. The White House Office of Management and Budget retracted its order from Monday in a memo sent out Wednesday, according to documents obtained by NBC News.

The full extent of the order was not immediately clear, but the directive sent to government agencies on Monday threatened to paralyze a vast swath of federal programs.

The Trump administration said it is offering financial incentives for nearly all civilian full-time federal workers to quit as part of plans to drastically shrink the size of the government.

Through an email blast, federal workers were given the opportunity to resign from their jobs before Feb. 6 and retain full pay and benefits through Sept. 30.
