This will be called the #TrumpShutdown. There is no one who deserves the blame for the position we find ourselves in more than President Trump. pic.twitter.com/WE3SH9TpRU— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 20, 2018
From Trump's Director of the Office of Management and Budget:
Mick Mulvaney giddily boasts to Hannity: "The person who technically shuts down the government is me, which is kind of cool"https://t.co/VLbDkIbcAN— Angelo Carusone (@GoAngelo) January 20, 2018
Once again late Friday, the dolt in the Oval Office was big boy "negotiating" with Sen. Schumer (though Schumer must have seen it as a duel of wits with an unarmed opponent). After Schumer left, the white nationalist trolls =cough= John Kelly & Stephen Miller =cough= pulled him aside and talked the dolt into rejecting yet another bipartisan deal:
Earlier Friday, Trump had brought Schumer to the White House in hopes of cutting a deal on a short-term spending agreement.
The two New Yorkers, who pride themselves on their negotiating abilities, started talking over cheeseburgers about a larger agreement that would have included greater military spending and money for a southern border wall.
But the talks fell apart almost as abruptly as they started. In a phone call hours later, the president raised new concerns about the deal he and Schumer had discussed, according to a person familiar with the conversation. In a subsequent phone call with Schumer, chief of staff John Kelly said the deal discussed was too liberal. The White House did not immediately comment on that account.To accentuate the shallowness of Rump's view of his governmental responsibilities, as the vote on a stopgap Congressional resolution was taken last night, this is what occupied his puerile mind:
The president watched the results from the White House residence, dialing up allies and affirming his belief that Democrats would take the blame for the shutdown, said a person familiar with his conversations but not authorized to discuss them publicly.He's in for a big disappointment.
#TrumpShutdown.
BONUS: Keith Boykin has the facts:
It's been 112 days since CHIP expired, 112 days since the fiscal year ended without a budget, and 137 days since Trump revoked DACA.— Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) January 20, 2018
The #TrumpShutdown could have been avoided if Republicans simply did their job last fall instead of waiting until the last minute.
