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?

He is bringing them together by saying "No negotiation"?
Johnson is bringing them together by closing the House and sending reps on luxury vacations?
Jesus, Boaz, you really are stupid.

Honestly, I say let the Republicans win!
I want the American people to truly get what they voted for.

I don't think that's a viable option. Those who voted for Trump..A majority of the nation, are already seeing that with crime going down, gas going down and immigration. I wouldn't be pushing that as Trump is fulfilling all of his campaign promises.

- A majority of the nation
A 1.5 percent majority is NOT A MANDATE!
TheBULL ------- Trump is a man date.

Why should Trump care?
He's got his.
He's still building the ballroom extension to the new palace he's planning on building.
He's still funding ICE.
He's still rebuilding the bribe plane he got from Qatar.
Based on the posts from our resident Trumpers, seems they couldn't care less about the future of this nation.
Besides. Opening the government means the Epstein files could get released.
Best of luck America!

Those who voted for Trump..A majority of the nation, #18 | POSTED BY BOAZ
Hey re tar d.
If you have to lie, you've already lost.
1. The majority of Americans did not vote in the 2024 elections. Less Americans voted in 2024 than did in 2020.
2. Trump beat Harris by approximately 2 million votes. Trump lost the popular vote by more votes to both Biden and Hillary.
3. Winning one election doesn't give Trump the right to be a dictator, destroy the White House, destroy the federal government, accept bribes from foreign nations, give billions to the losing dictator of Argentina, alienate allied nation, or rule the nation through executive orders.
You're an idiot. Your posts are moronic. You really are one of the stupid poorly educated Trump depends on for votes.

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, another "day that will live in infamy," Dummkopf Trumpf won a plurality of the eligible vote at 49.8%. That means 50.2% of eligible American voters did NOT vote for him.
This is NOT a mandate.
The incumbent 2024 Democratic Party lost 6,265,888 supporters they had in 2020, just the way the incumbent Democratic Party lost antiwar supporters in 1968: Antiwar Americans Don't Like War Crimes
