A shutdown is perfect for him. Without that pesky government to run he can spend his time on the important things. Like literally physically destroying everything this country stood for.

If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together.

Now he's the one who divides us.

I will agree he needs to bring Congress together in some way. He sold himself as the dealer in Chief.

But Democrats would never want to let Trump say he put together some type of deal that got both chambers to come together. Democrats are in "don't let him have a win" mode.

If you think Trump gives a rats patoot about any of this, you're a gullible idiot. The GOP is afraid of him and the Demcrats are watching them burn. Trump only cares about the rococo ornaments of his special Cinderella ballroom.

LOL Them Dems in your head sure are dumb.

If that truly was their "mode" they really suck at it.

To me democrats appear to be in the "hold on to what Democracy we've got for dear life for the next three years" mode.

" Democrats are in "don't let him have a win" mode."

So they're acting like Mitch McConnell and the Republicans did to Barack Obama.

Why were you okay with it when the tables were turned?
