If Trump shuts down the government, hundreds of thousands of federal employees will work without pay in the days before Christmas, including about:

53,000 TSA workers
42,000 Coast Guard employees
41,000 law enforcement and corrections officers
5,000 Forest Service firefighters

If they wanted to get paid, they should be the president. Donald Trump is president, and he's getting paid. Paul Ryan's paycheck will cash just fine. Oh, and his pension payment better not be late. Mitch McConnell's office is still bigger than everyone else's.
