flying during a typically high volume Holiday period assisted by exhausted unpaid air traffic controllers, having near misses nearly everyday, seems like a recipe for an airliner crash imho.

If that happens, Trump will get the blame for not keeping airways safe, and have to end the shutdown because he is finding out that the ACA/Obamacare affects the new buzzword.... "Affordability".
