        Hope someone asks Trump today why it's okay that Pence and other administration officials get a big raise while many federal workers do not get paid during the shutdown AND Trump has cancelled the 2019 scheduled raise for federal workers

        This should be a question posed to Sarah. Or is it Sara? Sanders. I’d LOVE to see EVERY reporter ask why they are holding hard working people hostage while fat cat ex-industry heads of departments get raises. Sounds so mobster-ish. #TrumpMcConnellShutdown

        Correct me if I am wrong, but this headline is very disingenuous. Doesn’t Congress, not the President, set and approve salary raises?

        Yes-but of course he doesn’t hafta approve it and this was the 115th that approved it-what chump DID do was nix the COLA increase for all the regular grunts.

        Federal workers get a pay freeze and they get $10,000 pay bump? These people are unreal.

        I can't ever remember an administration being this corrupt in plain site. Or this corrupt in general. Trump serves himself, and can't be trusted bc he lies about everything. Countless cabinet officials display little regard for their departments or ethics.

        Trump's Cabinet officials are all hostile to the agencies they head and were chosen specifically to dismantle them. Author Michael Lewis detailed that in his book "The Fifth Risk". See the second paragraph.

        You could totally see it coming. Several had spent years suing the agencies Trump appointed to lead.

        @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer Trump, Pence, and everyone receiving this raise is, IMO, stealing money from American taxpayers. They don’t deserve a raise fir destroying America, and also shutting down the government & keeping federal workers & more from being paid. Selfish.

        @realDonaldTrump @VP. @GOP. You should be ashamed of your actions in giving yourself a raise while you do a horrible job and while federal workers suffer and do without. You show no compassion or integrity.
