WH warns of government shutdown if Democrats 'don't behave better'. [View all]

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney says:

“I think the president is frustrated with the fact that he negotiated in good faith with the Democrats and they went out to try to spike the football and make him look bad,” Mr Mulvaney said. “We've got a lot to do between now and September. I don't anticipate a shutdown in September, but if the Democrats aren't going to behave any better than they have in the last couple of days, it may be inevitable.”

Got that? Trump is frustrated (sniff-sniff) because Democrats are misbehaving. Seems they aren't falling for Trump's idea of negotiating in good faith... such as chastising Democrats for daring to oppose him, and then trashing Pelosi for running a spectacularly successful counter offensive, or calling Schumer a clown, and using the racial slur "Pocahontas" to demean Warren.

Yeah, all us Democrats gotta behave or Uncle Mick and Daddy Donald will punish the whole country by shutting down the government. I'm gonna go hold my breath now.
