Reuters Staff
1 MIN READ
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trumps trip to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week is now in flux because of the federal government shutdown, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said on Saturday.
Trump already canceled a weekend trip to his Florida resort after a funding impasse in Congress shut down the federal government on Saturday.
The president will not be going to Florida now and were taking Davos, both from the presidents perspective and the Cabinet perspective, on a day by day basis, Mulvaney said.

(45,020 posts)1. Trump already looks pretty stupid
But he'd look like a real fool showing up at the World Economic Forum after scuttling one of the world's greatest economies. But that might be the exact reason he'll go. What a moron. What an embarrassment.

resign, or even better, hari-kari.

(34,661 posts)6. I think they in the White House
were looking for a excuse to bail on Davos. World sentiment this past week really did not want anything to do with Trump or any of his Brats.

He's like that one relative you don't want to see but really don't want others to see.

If so, the shutdown might provide good cover.
