"President Donald Trump said he would meet with White House Budget Director Russell Vought to discuss potential cuts to the federal workforce, heightening pressure on Democrats to end the government shutdown, which has entered its second day.
Trump on social media said the Thursday meeting would determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent.
The presidents comments escalate a threat from Republicans to use the shutdown to slash the federal bureaucracy. The White House had threatened to announce job cuts as soon as Thursday."

Two extremely evil people who wave their christian nationalism flag to justify anything.
These are potentially the leaders of the modern day "crusades". You remember the crusades, who justified extensive violence and murders of civilians who refused to follow their ideology, including the wholesale massacres of Muslims and Jews.
Nothing is quite like a good old religious war, in the name of "christian nationalism"

Trump is a bully, but has no other negotiating skills. Democrats should shrug and say, AND . . .

It is also extremely illegal to use party identification as a basis for hiring or firing civil service employees.
