Now Trump is saying some furloughed workers "may be denied back pay"

[Miles Archer]

Trump says he is ready to make deep and permanent job cuts if the shutdown continues, bragging that Democrats have handed him a “silver platter” to reshape the federal government.

The president also confirmed that he’s considering denying federal employees billions of dollars in automatic back pay when the government finally reopens, suggesting that the move could be politically motivated.

“I would say it depends on who we’re talking about,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

“For the most part we’re going to take care of our people. But there are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of, and we’ll take care of them in a different way.”

3. All the contractors the Republican stiffed over the years

should go to the Capitol tomorrow and stand in solidarity with all the children (now adults) who got raped by Donald Trump's "best friend" while he salivated lasciviously and then joked about it.

Not paying your contractors is total Republican ripoff
