(11,949 posts)He cares shit for trump and is only concerned about a republican majority in the Senate.
Apparently one kick from a mule is not enough for trump. He will not allow it to happen again.
He knows trump now owns any shutdown and they are both owned by Speaker Pelosi.

(18,672 posts)So Trump is essentially owning the next shutdown, too? He's a fucking idiot. Airline employees should all call out sick the 1st day.
