Politics Girl: Trump says funding healthcare is "unserious and ridiculous" re government shut down.
Politics Girl also says Trump wants to stop a vote on the Epstein files in congress because pro release the Epstein Files congresspeoplewill have the 218 votes when the newest democratic congresswoman is certifyed and shutting down the Government will stop that.
