Donald Trump’s threat to order mass firings of federal workers if Democrats let the government shut down is “check mate” for Chuck Schumer, says
@SeanSpicer
. “What they did was brilliant because Schumer thought that
he had all the cards. He has no idea what he’s dealing with. And so he’s basically forcing Democrats like Mark Warner and Tim Kaine from Virginia… to recognize that that if they do this, they're giving the green light to fire a lot of their constituents who are federal employees, who are going to go nuts. This was a brilliant chess move in a game that normally is played at the checkers level... It put them on notice that if you don’t want to keep the government open, we’ll take advantage of it.”
