Trump Doubles Down On Shutdown Threat: 'If We Close Down The Country, I Will Take It' Back to article

Be sure and shut it down before Christmas.

And do be proud of it.

Dear Democrats: Remember that there is always going to be another hostage. Give in once, and you may as well go home.

Unfortunately for Trump, there is no Viagra to raise border walls…

[castor_troy]

Of course, the biggest disease threat is all the anti-vaxxers that are already here… But don’t let facts get in the way.

“If we close down the country, I will take it…I think I win that every single time.”

Dunning and Kruger were optimists.

“I’m the President here. I get to have the last word - it’s in the Constitution. It’s not a manhood thing, believe me.”

Trump is playing right in to Schumer’s hand. Schumer said a couple of times at that bizzarro press conference with Trump that they (Dems) didn’t want to shut the government down and that they had a CR with bi-partisan support. I don’t think Dems are worried at all about Trump’s threat.

Bahha Pelosi ripped into Trump after the meeting. It’s quite hilarious tonsee these clips on Deadline

[nemo]

I’d like to see Democrats talk about how building the wall will bankrupt the country and line the pockets of Trump’s friends. Talking about it purely as an immigration issue will only boost his standing with the white American idiotariat.

They might as well have put a ring in his nose and led him into the cameras to make his little speech.

Sure, his base loves it. The rest of America? Not so much. He cannot be seen as giving an inch over this but he has been giving in for two years. Hold firm Dems!

[tena]

His base isn’t crazy about the fact that he can’t seem to make it happen.

hahahahhahahahahaha

[spin]

God, †Я☭mp is the gift that keeps on giving (or the grifter that keeps on giving). The public hates this stuff, and †Я☭mp owns it.

And best of all Nancy and Chuck will go back and tell Ryan and McConnell who need their votes “if you want a single vote to keep the government open and prevent the “†Я☭mp shutdown” we want x,y, and z”

[timorwig]

So, there is as an on-off switch for the federal government in the Oval Office?

[outis]

This should go well. (He really thinks he has the upper hand here, but that hand is likely to slap him pretty hard.)

[tena]

Yeah, he only turned the entire border of Texas with Mexico Democratic, so I love it dearly.

The border states are not crying out that we need this security. It’s the people in South Dakota and Nebraska who think the immigrant gangsters are coming right for them.

[timorwig]

So build the wall in their f—ing states.

[jurisgal]

To borrow from “Postcards From The Edge”, foolish should be a goal for trump.

[demosthenes59]

Trump is the best friend of Democrats, since he is owning a shutdown if Mexico doesn’t pay for his wall, and he wants America to foot the bill. The Democrats have zero reason to cooperate. None.
