Trump: 'I can relate' to federal workers going without pay during shutdown
Source: The Hill
President Trump said Sunday he can "relate" to federal workers who haven't been paid during the partial government shutdown.
Trump said:
"And Im sure that the people that are on the receiving end will make adjustments," he said. "They always do. And theyll make adjustments. People understand exactly whats going on. But many of those people that wont be receiving a paycheck, many of those people agree 100 percent with what Im doing."
Asked about reports of federal workers calling in sick, Trump said "they have to do what they have to do,".
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been furloughed and gone without their salary as the shutdown stretches into its third week. Other essential government personnel, meanwhile, have been forced to work without pay.
