Trump Grounds All Congressional Air Travel on Gov’t Planes Amid Shutdown Spat

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


BATTLE FOR WORLD / SPUTNIK NEWS – January 18, 2018: The article highlights that as President Trump remains locked in conflict with Democrats in Congress over the request for $5.7 billion to fund the border wall, the dispute led to an impasse and the ongoing partial government shutdown, the longest in US history.

The Trump administration up the ante today January 18, barring US lawmakers from traveling on any government-owned and operated aircraft without explicit written approval from the White House chief of staff.

ABC News tweeted a copy of the memo, which was released by Office of Management and Budget acting director Russell T. Vought.

Trump also took to Twitter earlier, attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats for trying to take “a seven day excursion” abroad while 800,000 federal employees go unpaid due to the partial government shutdown.

      Welcome to Trump’s tabloid government!

      So only the congresspeople that he approves can fly? And you don’t see that as fascism?

      wish my boss would allow me to use all the companies assets while I was on leave.. If I take time off I am on my own.. I could pretend to be sick ..or I could use an annual leave form…still unable to use the assets. but the money may still be there
      But if I refuse to go to work then for a short time ..perhaps a week I could possibly get away with “leave without pay”..And ..had I been a good enough employee apart from this “current hiccup” I might still have a job
      This is where pelosi and cohorts are in the real world scheme of things.. If you are not working you do not get paid …and definately not dip your fingers into the public purse for Holidays…If you are not working no perks

      This is a lame attempt by Trump to convince the mostly sleeping public that he is somehow keeping Congress in check, which of course HE ABSOLUTELY IS NOT!

      To the contrary all the bills he signs prove that IN REALITY he is JUST ANOTHER ZIONIST TOOL, just like EVERYONE ELSE IN CONGRESS!

      This is a cheap PR stunt attempting to mask his Tyrannical ZIONIST ACTUAL ACTIONS. The intention is that the half asleep public will slurp down this Kool-Aid and re-elect this HIGHLY DECEPTIVE Zionist Terrorist. His actions tell us his true position that War is good business for creating JOBS! For each ten jobs created we murder someone in Yemen. ANYONE who is NOT CLEAR regarding this NEEDS TO CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING:
