Accepting these raises makes clear these “leaders” fail a basic tenet of leadership—putting what’s best for the group above one’s own self interests.

I will be donating my pay to Homes For The Brave until the shutdown is done. What will top Trump officials do with theirs?

You're still getting paid. Why don't you congressmen give up your bloated pay to the furloughed workers? Come on. Or do you not do such things voluntarily? You must have the threat of force to do it, right?
-
He’s a senator and if you can read, he’s voluntarily giving up his pay. I assume you’re a republican since you missed his entire point.

Correct.

Not to mention Donald froze the pay for federal workers. I just can’t fathom how horrid these Trump people are...they have no hearts or souls.

In addition, he has frozen Federal Workers pay...no pay increases for the workers (which would have been what, 2%?) but people in the Administration get 10,000 a year? That is so outrageous it makes me ill.

If he takes money from one group but then pays their higher ups- he’s isolating the groups from each other. The people not getting paid are pissed and scared, the ones getting the extra money hopefully are embarrassed & horrified, either way- communication breakdown & resentment
-
He’s eroding the chain of command in government agencies, destroying what we call in the military- unit cohesion & good order and discipline. This is dangerous and he knows it. He’s hoping for the worst possible outcome and so is Putin

And what does his base—you know, the little guy Trump is always looking out for—think of this? Sadly, they won’t change their stubborn minds a bit.

The 800,000 Fed workers out of work now due to the Gov’t shutdown are part of American families all over the USA who are looking forward to the day in a few short years when they can stick it to the evil, corrupt

It’s an absolutely perfect example of how we’ve come to expect Republicans to behave.

This is divide and conquer- everything trump does is to destabilize the fabric of this nation trying to put each other at their throats. He’s an agent of chaos for Russia

I have family who have to work without pay. Pence &
@realDonaldTrump (especially#TrumpTheTerrible ) shouldn't get a penny, as long as the#TrumpShutdown continues. In fact, he should pay those 800,000 people's bills, if he's going to hold their paychecks in abeyance.#NoWallpic.twitter.com/q8aXU4NQLVThanks.

Dick because of your failure to protect the border a cops family buried him today. He was killed by an illegal immigrant hours after posing in front of the Christmas tree with his little boy. Nothing more important than that.
