Trump Says Out-of-Work Federal Employees Want Border Wall

“They understand what’s happening. They want border security,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday, after he was asked what message he had for workers affected by the shutdown.

“Many of those workers have said to me, communicated, ‘stay out until you get the funding for the wall,”’ Trump said.
“These federal workers want the wall.”

“I’ve been at the White House. ... I wasn’t able to be with my family. I thought it would be wrong for me to be with my family,” Trump said.
The White House said First Lady Melania Trump and the couple’s young son Barron returned from Florida to spend Christmas with the president at the White House.

28. Remember this picture?

He's just awkward, terribly, terribly awkward. Thank goodness he's so vain (and thinks he's actually handsome) that he doesn't disallow the press to take pictures of him. Otherwise we would lose out on gems like this!

after shutting down the government?

Me neither.

I'm going to sit in the Oval Office doing nothing all day unless Congress comes back from Christmas vacation to give me what I want.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

7. He wants people to feel sorry for him because

(Oh, the horror!) he's WORKING on Christmas Day.

There are millions of people who really are working this day: cops, firefighters, nurses, ER doctors, airline employees, movie theater employees, and so on. Some of them are happy to be working, others not so much, but they're all on the job doing what they're supposed to do.

All Trump is doing is pouting.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. And some of them aren't getting paid for it because of him.
