Absent paychecks may put Trump in bind
The partial government shutdown is now almost certain to deprive federal employees of at least one paycheck, a development that will ratchet up the political stakes higher than ever.
Even some people who are usually supportive of President Trump are worried about the potential consequences.
He will have made his point to his supporters, and there will be trouble if he takes it any further than that, said one GOP strategist with ties to the White House. Real people are really hurting, and those stories can become overwhelming.
Many federal employees would, under normal circumstances, be due to receive a paycheck this Friday, Jan. 11. But acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said on NBCs Meet the Press Sunday that those checks would not go out unless a resolution to the shutdown were to be found by midnight Tuesday.

Well I don't think Trump has any personal problem with this. Look at all the contractors he's ripped off.
