Trump Lashes Out After Democrats Reject Offer To End Shutdown

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thirty-one days into the partial government shutdown, Democrats and Republicans appeared no closer to ending the impasse than when it began, with President Donald Trump lashing out at his opponents after they dismissed a plan he’d billed as a compromise.

Trump on Sunday branded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a “radical” and said she was acting “irrationally.” The president also tried to fend off criticism from the right, as conservatives accused him of embracing “amnesty” for immigrants in the country illegally.

Funny, isn't it, when you've totally sold your fanatic supporters on your plan to throw your adversaries into a lake of boiling blood, it turns out to be really hard to negotiate an acceptable compromise.

Why, it's such a brilliant negotiating technique I'm only surprised that everyone isn't bashing their opponents with the same predictable results.
