Lara Trump thanks furloughed workers for their 'sacrifice': 'I know it's hard'
Kerry Justich, Yahoo Lifestyle 44 minutes ago 
Lara Trump spoke to Bold TV about the government shutdown. (Photo: Getty Images)As the government shutdown persists, entering day 32 on Tuesday, Lara Trump says that federal workers missing paychecks are going through just “a little bit of pain” for the betterment of the country.
In an interview for digital news network Bold TV, the daughter-in-law (Eric Trump’s wife) of and reelection campaign adviser to President Trump talked about the ongoing shutdown and the president’s goal to raise support and money for the border wall . And although she explained that POTUS is doing all he can to work “on behalf of the American people,” Lara is now getting called out for praising the “sacrifice” of Americans who are working without pay.
“Listen, it’s not fair to you, we all get that. But this is so much bigger than any one person. It is a little bit of pain, but it’s going to be for the future of our country,” she said about furloughed workers. “And generations after them will thank them for their sacrifice right now. I know it’s hard.”
But many people don’t believe that she understands the hardship.
Others are praising Lara and the president for focusing on what progress government workers’ sacrifices may yield.
Nonetheless, one person says that both sides can likely agree on one thing: The government should be open.

I like her !
Don't ever "Praise" the PEOPLE of THIS COUNTRY though. It really ticks off the "Lefty" types !
Are Pelosi and Schumer kicking themselves for not *THINKING* to "Thank" ……. Anyone ........... for their sacrifice in these "POLITICAL" temper tantrum days ?
Probably NOT. They only thank themselves.
There is no sacrifice, just a few hundred thousand people getting totally fucked over.
By both sides.
Either side could end the shutdown; but neither wants to be seen as losing. The workers are just pawns to be played with by the media, political talking heads, and politicians.
Semantics matter more than reality. Reality is that it is a fence that Trump is asking for, not a wall. It will not go from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific- 5.7 billion is not nearly enough for that. It is more about upgrading the portions of the fence that are old and need to be replaced; and expanding it key areas. Everyone is pissed Trump is still calling it a wall.
Pelosi and Schumer will never agree to any budget that has allocations to expand the border fence. Pelosi has talked a good game about increasing border security through drones, extra personnel, expanded detention centers to keep families together, more judges for processing; but not one of her ideas was included in the budget she represented to the Senate. There is no kicking the can down the road for DHS funding. The radical members of the Democratic Congress want no fence, no border patrol, and no ICE. Pelosi has proven she will not go against them.
Trump will fold, or Pelosi and Schumer will. Trump has nothing to lose; I am beginning to think he doesn't care if he wins a second term. Pelosi and Schumer are career politicians- they have much more to lose. The shutdown goes on long enough Trump might take both of them with him when he goes.
Are they still working by their own choice ?
Yes !
They are Big Boys and Girls. Nothing is stopping them from getting a new job.
Nope. The Republican led House and senate before Christmas passed a clean funding bill. It was rejected by Donald trump. Trump openly admitted he owns this shutdown. The Democrat majority house as soon as they were sworn in did their job and passed a clean funding bill. Democrats have even increased the amount they are willing to pay for border security. The only sticking point is Trump and his demand for even more money for the "wall" he swore Mexico was going to pay for. Mexico will never pay for it, nothing in the new trade agreements increases revenue from Mexico to the US government to pay for anything let alone a wall. So Trumps demand to insert his fat pork barrel wall into a funding bill is what caused the shutdown and his refusal to compromise and accept the border security money offered means he is the one continuing this shutdown. It is on the Commander inCompetent and he alone.
Nothing is stopping them from getting a new job.
What a crock of BS! There is A LOT stopping them from getting a new job and you know it, so why lie about it?
When is the last time you looked for a new job? Sent hundreds of resumes to only hear back from a few employers, and of them only get 1-2 job interviews.
When was the last time you had to spend hours/days/weeks/months looking for a new job...you realize people can't just walk out their door and have a new job the next day?
When was the last time you had to spend money you could not afford to look for a new job, money looking for a job when that money is needed to pay bills, used for daily living expenses.
When was the last time you had many years, maybe decades in a job, perhaps seniority, it is not easy or logical to leave all that behind to start a new job.
In many cases jobs may not be readily available in the local area.
Just stop your nonsense about "nothing stopping them from getting a new job".
Oh......Please do tell how "THEY CAN'T DO IT !
Did you even read my post? I listed several reasons why a person can't just up and get a new job. Why don't you tell me how they can do it.
YOU....listed why YOU couldn't do it !
I've done it over years of life, until I got where I am today. I even changed goals and carreers to do it. It's NOT HARD !
And some of these people are middle aged (>50) and close to retirement age. Nobody wants to hire someone that may retire in a couple of years.
It does take money to land a new job. I remember 22 years ago when I was looking for work after I ended my enlistment.
Maybe he's talking about the oldest profession that he finds so easy to fall back into whenever other work is scarce...
Every streets got a corner somewhere...And I doubt the perspective employers care about when you might retire...
So TSA workers who have been trained for that job should just forget the training and look for another job, that is unrealistic. How about Coast Guard, FBI, people who have worked hard to be in those positions, gone through extensive training, just up and walk away.
You are not being rational or realistic.
Why do you think TSA agents should find a new job? Their type of training cannot be easily transferred to another job. It is not like they can go to another major airport, all airports are in the same situation.
What about IRS employees, or border guards.
Getting another job, especially if the job market is flooded with people with the same skill set as you have, meaning your fellow workers are looking for another job too, is difficult...and those saying "just get another job" are not being realistic.
What about air traffic controllers? Do you expect them to find new jobs?
ANYONE.....CAN DO what is needed to be done for their own Life.
Did you know that folks change careers all the time when needed ?
It's just not a media worthy event !
Still trying to reach China ?
Who pays for the private security? The airlines?
Horrible idea.
I think it has merit. The airlines could spread the cost out amongst themselves. I'm open to alternative ideas, tho. I don't think it should be contracted out because another furlough will cause the same problems we're having today
What a bitch.
It's like that time when I 'sacrificed' my bicycle ... because somebody cut the lock and stole it.
Or when I sacrificed my phone because someone swiped it when I went to get a drink of water.
Why is Lara trump a "somebody" ? Her dimwitted husband is barely even a somebody.
I don't recall anyone asking Chelsea Clinton's husband or Malia Obama's boyfriend for their opinion about national issues.
Lara Trump is riding 'the bone spur'.
She knows sacrifice, being in the orbit of the Trump's, integrity, free thought and decency had to be sacrificed.
As far as her thoughts, opinion or perspective on this particular matter---------I doubt if there's much there. Probably best to refer this to the 'click bait' den.
Poor Lara. Nobody that stupid should be allowed a public forum
Anybody who looked at anything other than her boobs first, raise your hand.
Well they are front and center.
Alternative facts mean nothing? Pshaw.

I believe that Twain's quote fits this situation to a T.....
“It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt”
― Mark Twain
