Meanwhile, all of Trump's cabinet members who make $180K will see a 10,000 dollar pay raise.

If Trump supporters want to act dense and pretend the optics of that arent horrible, that's on them
This is exactly the same scenario as the tax law recently passed. The same logic, or lack thereof, applies.

Anyone who does not see the significance of this is not paying attention.

I would think they would get tired of WaPo telling them how to think.
I can guarantee he raised ALL federal workers salaries not just the elite.
