Three times to his hardline supporters:

1. He backed down on The Wall.
2. He banned bump stocks.
3. He was kind to federal employees.

Yes and no. You asked if he should, not whether he would. I would have answered differently.

I do wonder what the cost of giving a day off is. 3,000,000 government employees who would have otherwise used a PTO day... $323 per day for an average gov salary = $971,000,000 according to my math. That's actually a lot more than I even first thought. :suspicious:
2 million are just taking up oxygen and drawing a paycheck

hell if they just took a PTO day and the other million came to work there would be a 100% bump in productivity

What is productivity like at any employer on Christmas Eve? Bunch of workers standing around eating treats and talking about their holiday plans while getting little done. Get the morale boost from giving them the day off at little cost to actual productivity.

90% would take PTO and not come in. That was the point.

A lot would but not that many. Many would come in late, goof off and leave early.
