'Don't even bother dealing with them,' Trump says of Democrats' shutdown demands

(Politico) President Donald Trump dismissed congressional Democrats' demands ahead of a looming shutdown deadline in a Fox News interview Friday, casting doubt on whether a deal to keep the government open is even possible.

"There is something wrong with them," Trump said about Democrats in a rare in-studio "Fox and Friends" interview. "If you gave them every dream right now ... they want to give away money to this or that and destroy the country. If you gave them every dream, they would not vote for it."

"Don't even bother dealing with them," he added. "We will get it through because the Republicans are sticking together for the first time in a long time."

Democrats should be screaming "TAX HIKE" at the top of their lungs.

Because that's what it is.
