What, Donnie, you couldn’t pay for the pay raise with the money you saved on not having your stupid parade? Or some of those massive 1% and corporate tax cuts?
They’re going to love you even more than they do now. You thought there were leaks before…
Trump on Thursday announced that he will not give civilian federal employees a pay raise, saying in a letter: “We must maintain efforts to put our nation on a fiscally sustainable course.”
“Now watch this billionaire tax cut.”
A trillion dollars here, a trillion there, and pretty soon all that’s left is the war department.
Dear Mr Many Big Words President
You can’t maintain something you/ve never started to do.
Maintain : to keep in an existing state (as of repair, efficiency, or validity) : preserve from failure or decline
He can’t help it, Dotard overspent dramatically on his bigly Puerto Rico hurricane relief efforts.
And Mar-e-Coli needs a new paint job…
Let’s hope that Trump and his henchmen and women just lost 22,996,000 votes.
These are the types of decisions that so endear Trump to people. Non-government workers love him for this stuff, and government workers that voted for him are so self-loathing and lacking in self esteem they love him for it too. “Beat me some more Mr. Trump!”
So, he alienates Dem and left leaning government workers. Big deal. No skin off his nose. He didn’t like them and they didn’t like him in the first place.
Trump now: “In light of our Nation’s fiscal situation,”
Trump then:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Our Country is doing GREAT. Best financial numbers on the Planet. Great to have USA WINNING AGAIN!

WHAAAAAAT??? But DONNIE! You promised when we got that HUUUGGGEEE TAX CUT that went to the 1% that it would give us a pay raise…just wait and see you said! Were you lying THEN or are you lying NOW???
That’s an inclusive OR, right?
Good thing that there are no Republican voters in government.
Does this include the Federal judges that will soon preside over Dotard’s many upcoming trials?
Shorter Trump: Money for me but not for thee.
Talk about a Taking Point Memo for the midterm.
Seriously. This is a no brainer for the Dems to pound on. 25 billion is what - 1.5 percent of what they gave in corporate tax cuts? (Actually to be correct if we do year over year its maybe 9 percent. But still.)
Can’t pay federal employees, it’ll cut into the money he needs for his golf outings.
locality pay increases averaging 25.70 percent,
Huh?
This affects me & my family directly. My wife works for the federal government. F^%k Trump and anyone who supports him. They can give away billions to corporations and the rich with their stupid tax cuts but refuse to give working people a raise. F^%k them all with a big, thick, thorny stick right up the @$$ and twist it. (Please forgive the language, but this is what really gets me riled up. When they call my hard-working wife and her peers lazy and unworthy, it makes my blood boil.)
Yes.
