Democrats will use that against every Trump Republican.
This would set a very bad precedent.

These people are brainwashed, we have totally lost 38 percent of the United States to the Fox/Trump propaganda machine.

And for all US citizens , it is to strip away services provided by those civil employees.

And I bet they will NOT be voting to re-elect the President (if he lasts that long), or any Trump Republican.
We will have to see.

showing Trump golfing, and footage of closed and shuttered govt offices, plus video of workers, especially the more low level ones, who are suffering financially.

workers have to figure out how to get through this and citizens are turned away from services, all in the context of a un-Merry Christmas and un-Happy New Year.
