Trump’s mass firing of federal employees instantly blows up in his face

Trump’s plan to punish Democrats is backfiring.

The only logical thing about much of the Trump administration’s behavior is that there is no logic.

Somehow, Trump’s White House believed that it could pressure Democrats to do what they wanted regarding the government shutdown by laying off more federal workers en masse.

Except that Democrats have already told the White House that they don’t care about the layoffs because Trump would likely go ahead with the plan whether the government was open or closed.

A government shutdown does not give the executive branch additional power to fire federal employees.

As Republicans insist on continuing the government shutdown by refusing to prevent health insurance premiums from skyrocketing at the start of the year, they are left with stunts and tricks that make no sense.

Republicans are hurting themselves, not Democrats, by laying off federal workers en masse.

The worst part is that the plan immediately backfired.
