Look at the smirk on Hassett's face as he explains Trump's justification for mass firings during a shutdown:

Hassett: "If money is not appropriated for a position, they then have the authority to eliminate the position. It's very intuitive. And that's an enormous amount of leverage over the Democrats ... if they shut it down, then they might not like the consequences."
