The Trumpf junta and the Republican Party insouciantly act like the nobility of the Ancien Regime or the Romanov Dynasty, completely oblivious and unconcerned about America's nuclear or aviation safety, health surveillance for diseases or food poisoning, or hungry people who are forced to borrow money just to pay for their groceries. The Republican Party is adamant that Americans don't enjoy affordable healthcare, never mind the universal healthcare that Germans, Israelis, Canadians, or Brits enjoy who are unfamiliar with the term "medical bankruptcy"; hence the standoff with Democrats and this calamitous GOP government shutdown.
