Of course, he will blame everyone else.
What time is the vote? At some point he'll get bored and just want to go to Mar-a-lago to golf.

So what's next? He doesn't get the wall, government shuts down. We can't override his veto

(8,923 posts)Probably the most likely scenario to re-open the government. The big baby will continue holding his breath with his face turning turning colors.
