Trump is not rational; he is delusional. That means that more people will miss their paychecks or be laid off as long as the shutdown continues because he will not give in. They are the losers in this along with the people who will no longer be able to afford healthcare. The Democrats have made their point. It's time to fund the government. At this point the only thing they are going to accomplish is hurting more people.

We give in and he'll actually fund the government. I'm not so sure. He's too busy shitting on the country to give a damn about it.

He's doing in a different manner what DOGE couldn't do. And killing ACA through the back door. This isn't some knee jerk reaction of his. But surrender if you like. I'm sure as hell not.
