Donald J. Trump fucked over Republicans, Democrats , Government officials and anyone who could….
He keep at his view that Biden had stolen the election from him….
He held off the transition of his admin to the Biden admin…
When it came down to the end some Trump people asked for some consideration….
They got none…
Why should they have even asked?
Few if any of us should fell sorry for them….
I do NOT.…
“We understand that a few Trump appointees, including a handful currently on parental leave, submitted last minute requests to remain on government payroll,” the official said. “Because these requests were received so close to Inauguration Day… there was no way to implement an exception to the rule in a way that is fair to all outgoing appointees, including many who resigned as expected without making requests for extraordinary benefits.”
The official added that “appointees have been advised that they have options including COBRA and the Affordable Care Act.”

The Biden White House declined to speak about the issue on record.

Note….
This piece in Politico was written to showcase former Trump employee’s looking for parental leave benefits…
It is meant to be sympathetic to those employee’s and their families…
It does NOT deal with what those employee’s could be officially doing to NOT leave early from a political admin that was seeking to undo and election or help the incoming admin…Or…even commit illegal action’s for a President/Boss who felt he did NOT have to follow rules or norms…
They should have known that working for Donald Trump, even in the government came with risk for their jobs and well being….
