The truth is this is the Republican Shutdown this is the Donald Trump Shutdown!

They've said that, as Trump put it, they would be "reasonable" now, and deal with the Republicans so the govt won't have to continue to be shut down.

This makes the shut down belong to the Democrats, or at best, both parties.

It's already all over the media. No one referring to the Trump shutdown, the Republican shutdown, how this would hurt the Republicans. Now it's all about the Democrats "finally" becoming reasonable.
