Hey, stop hating on the user who posts these sentences using Chinese characters (한자/汉字). That is a useful reference for those of us who know Chinese.
That user is not studying Chinese on Duolingo but is studying other languages. He or she is probably a native Chinese speaker who enjoys learning languages, and there's no harm in that! Furthermore, Chinese characters are learned in South Korea and occasionally used in print alongside the Hangul.
Is that a Trump joke Korean team? Or is it just a regular sentence? Even if it was, nice.
LOL Maybe if Trump were the only person to ever say something like that...

"解僱야" only this page
They also mention 괵수(馘首)야! Why use the Chinese version of the script when Korean does not make this distinction, and why down-vote this comment?
Agreed, I don't see 僱 used in Korean dictionaries. It seems to only be in traditional Chinese (the kind used in Taiwan and Hong Kong). 雇 is a variant traditional form used in Korean, Japanese, and incidentally mainland China.

(1) 해고= the dismissal, the firing
너(는) 해고야!
= It is "dismissal" for you!
= You are fired!
(2)
해고하다 = to do the firing = to fire (someone) - active voice
해고되다 = to get the firing = to get fired (by someone) - passive voice
I'm not sure of the grammar on this one. "You're fired" uses the verb "to be fired", so shouldn't there be some form of "해고되다" in there? Or is this just a colloquial way of saying the phrase that doesn't follow a particular grammar? Because 해고이다 couldn't possibly be the verb here, could it?

It is, and it's correct grammatically in Korean. In fact it's not verbal -- it's classified as adjectival. It can follow the noun 해고. Though my take is that directly translated it's, "(As for) you, dismissal 'tis!"
I'm just guessing based on the grammar and other verbs I know, but if 해고되다 is really 해고 + 되다 where 되다 is "to become", then 해고 would be "fired" in a noun form, right? In which case 해고이다 is "to be fired" (~이다 being the copula/to be). Alternatively, if 해고다 is the verb "to fire" (to terminate employment), then I think that could make 해고이다 a passive voice. But given SeanFogart's response I think it's much more likely the first of my conjectures than a passive verb.

Yes.
해고+이다 = 해고다 [*noun ending in a vowel] = to be dismissal
해고야 = 해고 + 이야 (=> imperative present, intimate.) = It is dismissal
너(는) 해고야! = For you, it is dismissal => You are fired! (By inference).

The funny comment section is. The first thing as a reference I thought was Back to the Future II, when older Marty Mcfly was fired because of Needles :D YOU'RE FIRED. (oh my, what am i going to say to Jennifer..?!)
