Oh boy, the libs are getting a triple dose of outrage today after Trump went ahead and signed an executive order on a pay freeze for civilian federal workers.
Somehow only a TRAITOR would freeze increases in federal pay according to this mental midget:
BREAKING: Trump signed a pay freeze for federal workers for all of 2019 last night. This on top of the #TrumpShutdown. What a heartless, no good thief. What kind of coward does this right after Christmas, in the dark of night? Donald does. What a traitor. This is plain wrong.

Here’s more on the freeze:
President Trump issued an executive order Friday freezing federal workers’ pay for 2019, following through on a pledge earlier this year to nix an across-the-board pay increase.
Trump had announced in August that he would cancel the 2.1 percent pay increase, which was slated to take effect in January.
The order also cancels the “locality pay increase,” which adjusts paychecks based on the region of the country where workers are posted.
The order does not, however, impact a 2.6 percent pay raise for the military for next year that was part of a defense spending bill Trump signed in August.
The announcement making the pay freeze official comes as hundreds of thousands of federal employees head into the new year furloughed or forced to work without pay as a result of a partial government shutdown that began last week.
The executive order affects most of the 2.1 million federal employees around the nation, about 1.7 million of which live in areas outside of the Washington, D.C., metro area.
I’m not gonna argue that this is the most brilliant thing ever done by a president, but it certainly isn’t as disastrous and “treasonous” as some idiots on the left are whining. It’s a freeze on pay increases. It’s not a huge deal.
But to these morans, it’s the same as Nazi death camps:
Today, the President poured salt on the wounds of federal employees by instituting a pay freeze for 2019 in the middle of the Trump Shutdown. Congress must reopen the federal government, make federal employees whole, and restore the dignity of federal service.

@realDonaldTrump ... so you make federal workers work without pay and now you freeze their pay!?! How about you and congress give up your greedy sum of money so the janitors that pick up your crap can actually afford to put food on their table.. #ShutdownStories #ImpeachTrump

If you took all of their pay and gave it to workers, it would be infinitesimally small, but who cares about math.
On behalf of all Fed law enforcement, thanks for the pay freeze in 2019 @realDonaldTrump...proving to be one of the worst presidents for us and our families.

If that’s the worst thing a president has done, this guy needs to read up on history.
And this idiot is demanding the media lie about what is happening:
This is a PAY CUT not a freeze given that inflation will be about 3% in 2019. Media needs to report it that way: Trump orders pay freeze for federal workers https://t.co/bnX8pXeuqn

Weird how that doesn’t work in the private sector huh?
This is what a #Grinch looks like: @realDonaldTrump and his warped mind. His heartless #shutdown at Christmas and now a pay freeze for federal workers for all of 2019 just shows how much of a #Grinch he is. He's a traitor to all Americans. A heartless jacka**. #ImpeachTrump https://t.co/sMJGMBpcWr

Screaming “traitor” every time something you dislike happens is how politics works these days…
