You respond by focusing on the king issue: Trump not king yet, so he can't stop the Dems from shutting down the government.
OK. But, you seem to have missed the main point that Federal employees aren't foregoing paychecks because of Trump (as your post suggested); they are foregoing paychecks because of the Democrats...who think (per Schumer) that every day the government is closed it gets better for the Democrats.
Your second response indicates that when Trump is king, the federal employees won't have to forego paychecks. But, I don't think that is where things are going, and I don't think you think that is where things are going. I think you are just being a political hack on this issue.
