23. Didn't even have to lead him. He built and then threw himself in his own trap.

From now on, that should be the stock example of stupidity. Forget doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Shitler has taken stupid to a whole new level.

Even Schumer suddenly discovers a thin vein of iron in his spine and maneuvers El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago into bragging about shutting down the government unless he gets his way, thereby undercutting any political strategy the Republicans in Congress might have been developing to blame a prospective shutdown on the Democrats.

Schumer didn't maneuver anyone. Shitler brought it up and kept harping on it. Schumer just followed an age old maxim of politics. If your opponent is destroying themselves, don't interfere.
