Trump is the arsonist. He screams that there will be no raises in 2019.

Immediately, republican incumbents in difficult districts announce that they oppose this move and will work to reverse it.

In late October, they will forward some chit and trump will give in.

Federal employees will get their raises and, as the expectation goes, be thankful to those republican incumbents.

People will forget that Trump ignited this whole charade.

They are such asshats.

this wage freeze thing stinks like week-old carrion baiting a trap
i only hope Democrats DON'T TAKE THE BAIT for once in my lifetime
denounce the scumlord's maneuver for the betrayal it is, but campaign on other things, so when the inevitable double-cross happens we can be prepared.

Odious traitor says no money for civil servants, yet for himself, his family, friends, gop, and wealthy-Americans --a 1.2Trillion tax cut!


According to the Office of Personnel Management, as of December 2011, there were approximately 2.79 million civil servants employed by the U.S. government.
