As you hear about air traffic delays and cancellations, keep in mind that ATC has been understaffed and underfunded for years under multiple administrations. And the President made it even worse, long before the shutdown. The shutdown was not the problem.

When did the President start referring to himself in the third person plural?
Trump: "I stick up for Viktor Orbán. Not a lot of people do because in many cases they're jealous. They wish they did what he did. They would have no problems if they did what he did."

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.
The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

The President says he "has reached a trade deal with China. In his telling, the agreement will have China begin buying soybeans and oil and gas from the United States. Trump said China will also “continue the flow” of rare earth materials. In exchange, Trump will cut tariffs on Chinese goods."

The President is just one person. The only power he has is that which has been ceded to him by others.
Our job is to make it more painful for those enablers to keep up their support of him than it would be to join the opposition and defend our Constitution and our country.

The President's campaign promised to reduce costs for consumers and lower government spending.
Neither has happened.
Consumer prices are still rising.
Federal government spending is up 7% over last year.
Argentina's peso lost 10% in 2 weeks. Their interest rate is 157%. $40B of our taxes wasted!

I hate to suggest it, but let's start with the machine operators. They did the actual damage. Let their defense team produce the evidence of their authorization.
Then let's just climb the ladder.
The President might have immunity but it's for certain that his minions don't. Will the DOJ act?

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”
