This was predicted
At least he says its his Shutdown. [The deal was over funding for President Donald Trump's wall on the Mexico border, which is staunchly opposed by Democrats. Without a deal, funding for around 25% of the government expired at midnight (5am GMT). Nine cabinet-level departments and dozens of agencies, including homeland security, transportation, interior, agriculture, state and justice, will be affected by the shutdown. Mr Trump had said any impending shutdown could last "a very long time" as he blamed Democrats over the failure to agree a deal on spending.] https://news.sky.com/story/partial-s...fails-11588566 Last edited by arista; 22-12-2018 at 11:08 AM. |

It's nothing to do with democrats, Arista. Trump said he would be "proud" to shut down the government. He doesn't have the votes to do what he wants.
He was going to sign the agreement until he was criticised on fox news and then he decided to act like a spoilt kid and throw his toys out of the pram.

Essentially ‘Do what I want you to do, or I’ll make millions of people suffer over christmas’ He’s an awful, odious little man.

It's purely because a president who doesn't read presidential briefings and only gets his information from fox was criticised by usually fawning hosts that he's willing to do this over Christmas.

He's deluding himself if he thinks anyone will "blame the Democrats" when it comes to the history books... All anyone ever remembers is "who was president when..." and thus, a government shut-down will be remembered as being his own incompetence as a leader.

No he isn't. He claimed the new trade agreement would account for it, but trade agreements by their very nature are distributed into the hands of private citizens (who actually have the businesses involved in trading products). why do you take everything he says at face value and without questioning?

More tantrums.
Trump cares about nothing but building a lasting monument to himself. He is a narcissist in the winter of his life and he wants to leave something that he believes will last and he doesn't care who he steps on to do it. A wall won't stop illegal immigration and considering that the wall is just a vanity project which is using his base's extreme elements and their inherent racism towards mexicans to fuel it. It's an expensive waste of money to fuel Trump's ego and it saddens me that so many republicans are willing to lick his arse over it when there should be a bypartisan rage over his actions. He is ****ing over republican and democratic workers alike and the lack of condemnation from the republicans is grotesque. |
