Didn't Trump tell the American people that federal workers were all in favor of his shutting down the government? Why yes, yes he did:

President Trump Said Federal Workers Support the Shutdown. Not True, Say Unions Representing Hundreds of Thousands

As hundreds of thousands of federal employees marked the Christmas holiday with their families Tuesday unsure about the state of their jobs and paychecks, President Donald Trump asserted that “many” of those impacted by the partial government shutdown support it if it leads to the controversial U.S.-Mexico border wall he’s promised to his base for years.

Gee, I wonder how Trump could have gotten that so wrong?
