Seems Trump wants to own this shutdown rather than blaming it on Democrats.
Lol no, it will always be someone else’ fault. But I think he’s assuming the democrats see the writing on the wall, and allowing (another) shutdown to happen under trump’s watch is their least bad option. I expect he’ll make full use of the crisis, nothing would surprise me at this point…
No, he’ll blame the firings on the Democrats too.
That’s true. But it’s his firings that will be in the headlines.
Because mass firings worked so well the last time
Yup. Let’s remind Republican voters, again, how important Federal agencies are. This is like me telling my son he doesn’t get dinner because the kitchen didn’t cook my steak exactly how I like it.
Let’s fire all the air traffic controllers too. Reagan was definitely onto something
/s
I mean, compared to other things we may see faster CEO “turnover” that way.
Sarcasm or not, they did name an airport after Reagan …
I think this would all but guarantee Democrats supporting gov’t funding to avoid shutdown. Even if doing the opposite might be the better move long-term.
the court order has me considering to not shutdown.
