That was just another empty threat like the massive RIF, to force the dems end the shutdown because he knows shutdown looks bad for him and GOP

Wonder how all those brainwashed federal employees who blindly vote republican feel about this…

Lmao the white house hates its employees. Shuts down to protect the lord emperor, Princess Pedo, but can’t even do the bare minimum for anyone else.

Hmm I am wondering if he is paying taxes on all this income from lawsuits, or had to pay gift tax on that plane which will belong to him forever? And shouldn’t the money used to fix it be taxable, too?

Told those air traffic controllers to strike, and all I get on here is people telling me how it’s “illegal”

As expected. He’s just going to stiff the workers/contractors.

So much for “America First,” which is nothing but a recycled white supremacist slogan anyway.

Why would any country be willing to trade with us if we’re going to hit them with tariffs and erratic behavior? Why would any ally come to our defense if we’re going to attack them, undercut them, and deride them? Why would anyone devote their life to scientific research if their results are going to be ignored or spun for political gain, if funding can even be secured?
And why would anyone become a civil servant if they’re going to be called lazy and fraudulent for doing their job, and not even get paid what they’re owed?
They’re dismantling our nation and giving it to their rich friends.

Air traffic control strike when?

Honestly, it’s not up to him.
Listen, everyone, the sooner we recognize that this dude is just saying bs all the time, we can put together a coherent response to all this.

Meanwhile over on the conservative sub there little mention of him stiffing “blue collar” Americans. 🤔
pie4july on
As a state employee, I’m not affected but feel deeply for my federal counterparts who are struggling to make payments and put food on the table. Now you won’t give them back pay?
Fuck you.
Revolutionary-pawn on
So if I understand this right, all federal workers need to immediately walk off the job.

Meanwhile, the White House is decorating its walls with gold, and building a massive ballroom that will dwarf the White House in size. Priorities.

Then nobody should be working while the government is shut down

Do you know what really helps a sinking economy? Laying people off who have decent paying jobs so they can pay for shit
Im_Ashe_Man on
The law says differently. Trump can say whatever, but a court will throw it out and everyone will get their pay.
Gurnsey_Halvah on
So, what about military pay? In his Navy speech Trump promised:
“I want you to know that despite the current Democrat induced shutdown, we will get our service members every last penny. Don’t worry about it.”
And we all know how well Trump keeps his promises.

This is a really great way to get ATCs to not come into work.

Man, they really hate regular people. The disdain for the non rich is so obvious.
Claff93 on
What about those deemed ‘essential’ and are at still going to the office now despite not being paid?
AthasDuneWalker on
Oh, yeah, THAT will go over well.
crackasscrackuh on
Why would that put pressure on the left? Republicans are in charge lol.
Groxee on
Almost like they want them to resign so they can not hire replacements, or hire replacements and pay them less.

That’s cool, but a Cheeto stained post it note doesn’t overrule federal law.
odd-duckling-1786 on
It is not just the back pay that is an issue. It is also the meager 1 and 2 percent raises that don’t even cover inflation. It is becoming extremely difficult to work for the government and put food on the table.
shadowpawn on
How come staff of white house still get paid and are working? Aren’t they Federal Workers?
wjean on
When this is over, Maga govt employees who end up believing that it was the Dems that caused them not to get their back pay will be just like women who believe it when their abusive husbands tell them “you made me hit you.”

Don’t worry, the ballroom is still getting more gold plate
alnarra_1 on
Oh that might actually piss some folks off. Generally folks on furlough bite the bullet and sit through these goofy government shutdowns because they know at the end of the day they will eventually get paid
If you actually straight up stop paying them there will be consequences, like planes falling out of the air level
volanger on
Im hoping that they do this. Why? Cause dems (if they are smart) and use this to get the military on their side and ensure that doesnt get blind loyalty from them
mynamesnotsnuffy on
Trump refusing to pay workers? Damn, its like his whole business history in a nutshell.
manofredearth on
We need to organize votes to strip all wages and benefits from elected and appointed officials during any government stoppage.
Oceanbreeze871 on
So federal workers are gonna start losing their homes, cars etc right in time for thanksgiving and Christmas.
“I’d still vote for him again yall” I’m
Sure.

and the WH is wrong . They are just instilling more fear to put pressure on the Dems , in their desperation to blame THEM for thje shutdown .

Wow, so the ppl who keep the country running get zilch? Cool, cool, cool, just the kind of logic you expect to see in 2025. 🙃
Proof that Trump cares about the average American… Lol
No pay, no work
Another law broken, that was signed under the first Trump administration.
