Trump: "I will be the one to shut it down" (if border wall funding isn't passed)
- Thread starter Saya
- Start date
Well let's look at the last time we were in this exact situation. Trump killed DACA and demanded the 5 billion for his wall. Schumer said fine, take care of DACA and you can have your damn wall. Trump said no. He got money for border security and they have spent 6% of it, that's it.
It's nothing but a political move for Trump so he can get a win, it has nothing to do with actually building a wall. Why should the Democrats let him waste 5 billion dollars exactly? You say, oh it's only 5 billion what's the big deal? The big deal is, there is other shit that needs to be taken care of so if you want your political win you better be prepared to deal for it. Welcome to a two party government Trump, you now have to pass things with the approval of Democrats and if you fail to do that, you fail as president.
Yep, he desperately needs money for a wall on the US/France border
...Canada is a part of France, as they speak French there
...France...eh, Canada will pay for that wall

Sen. Tim Kaine on his tweet yesterday that Trump is "cheerleading a shutdown."
"We've offered him between $1 billion and $1.6 billion for border security. We did $1.3 billion last year and the administration couldn't even spend it all." #Axios360
Tim Kaine @timkaine
"Proud" ??
To hurt the economy?
To force federal workers (many in Virginia) to go without pay?
To demonstrate to the world that America can't even do the basic functions of governing?
Make no mistake: Donald Trump is cheerleading a shutdown.

Pence looked like he was having an out of body experience. Maybe it's because a woman was sitting to close to him.
He's probably worried he might have gotten her pregnant now.
Jokes aside, how can a VP sit in on such a meeting and not say a word? Trump must be fuming over this.
Pence was just thinking about how much he can't wait to go home and rest in Mother's bosom. And he was tired. Give the guy a break.
There's a very good chance that Trump told Pence to let him do the talking...which is exactly what he did, lol. Just speculation on my part, but I would expect no less from the self-proclaimed "Master Negotiator."
Yeah, sure. But I'm thinkg more to the point that you could see the conversation going south, and he coul've stepped in and ecouraged everyone to continue the debate behind close doors. But he didn' t. Its almos like he wanted to see Trump make a fool of himself....Maybe.

POTUS called Pelosi yesterday afternoon and said he was considering the plans and he thought the meeting went well.

After his televised outburst in the Oval yesterday, Trump privately told Pelosi & Schumer they could cut deals & work together to have "the greatest Congress in the history of Congress" next year -- & he'd be able to force Senate Republicans to go along https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/11/us/politics/trump-border-wall-government-shutdown.html …

WTF. There is ALREADY a bipartisan compromise for $1.6B for border security, isn't there? HE'S the one holding up the works in the first place. But sure, take credit for something that was done without your assistance, as usual.
"Please don't stonewall me and investigate me to death, I'll be nice!!!" (he won't).
Lol yeah no way the niceness lasts. He'll be on twitter insulting their intelligence in no time, especially as soon as the investigations start. It's all downhill from here. If Trump actually cared about self-preservation he never would have run for president in the first place.
He was probably told if the government was closed he wouldn't get a Christmas vacation.
His options were to side with the "enemy" or side with the idiot trying to shove both of his feet in his mouth at alarming speed.
Not to mention the French attacker was born and raised in France.
I expect he was probably reacting to the news. If the phrase "Trump Shutdown" started trending on news stations and social media, he'd be very worried about that since he doesn't want his own "Obamacare." The only things that ever seem to generate any kind of emotional investment from him are the things related to his public reputation. The government shutting down and people getting mad at HIM for it because it's got his name on it would definitely qualify.
Trump reminding me of Cartman talking shit to Wendy in public but behind closed doors trying desperately to apologize and have her call off the fight he knows she's going to win.
I hope we hear of Trump eating his underwear next.
I read that correctly that Trump hopes to cooperate with Democrats to keep his own party under his thumb?
Can they televise all of their meetings? I would watch hours of Pelosi so artfully shitting on Trump. And, even if I hate the guy, Schumer's Jim Halpert impression at the end killed me.
The joke is that Trump and Pence are gonna be impeached so Pelosi will be de facto president by the end of next year.
I'm almost 100% certain that Trump will never do that again. Anything that's traumatized him that much is an experience he'll never repeat.
Someone on here (maybe this thread?) called Pence a Real Doll and that's almost as accurate as it is hilarious
My god why not? You're saying if by some miracle Trump and Pence are out that you'd not take Pelosi as interim president?
Oh, I definitely would. I misread the post I responded to, and thought they were suggesting she run for POTUS in the next general election.

I often stated, "One way or the other, Mexico is going to pay for the Wall." This has never changed. Our new deal with Mexico (and Canada), the USMCA, is so much better than the old, very costly & anti-USA NAFTA deal, that just by the money we save, MEXICO IS PAYING FOR THE WALL!

The Republicans shut down the government years after Obamacare passed trying to force Obama to agree to get rid of it. Obamacare wasn't a racist, completely ineffective waste of money, so it's not a comparable situation regardless.
