Trump Proves His Words Mean Nothing: 'Democrats Now Own the Shutdown'

Source: Mediaite

by Ken Meyer | Dec 21st, 2018, 10:27 am

Ten days after Donald Trump promised to accept responsibility for a government shutdown, he’s now saying Democrats will be the ones to blame for it.

The government will go into shutdown tonight if the president and Congress fail to agree on a spending bill that will keep the government running through 2019. Trump spent his Friday morning blasting Democrats for refusing to support the allocation of funds for his Southern border wall, and in his latest tweet, he topped things off by proclaiming “The Democrats now own the shutdown!”

This is quite a departure from last week when Trump had his explosive meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). It was during that meeting when Trump vowed to accept the mantle by saying “I am proud to shut down the government for border security.”

He says the shutdown will last a long time--probably won't happen or it will last 15 minutes. You're safer believing the opposite of what he says.

Those tapes will be played in loops and used against Trump and the GOP.

Trump does not give a fuck. He is testing for loyalty.

Mediaite could change proves to "proves again". In September the Washington Post had his number of lies in the first 601 days at over 5000.

Donald and the GOP falsely blame the democrats when the republicans have the power to pass his $5billion.

It is their choice to not use the 'nuclear option' in the Senate.
