I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!

[Cha]

2. Fuck OFF ASSHOLE

[Renew Deal]

3. OK

Shut it down

[BSdetect]

4. That would stop the SCOTUS theft.

[MoonRiver]

17. Good point! Go for it Asshole!

[spanone]

5. Go for it don, actually you should do it BEFORE the mid-terms...that will really help your party

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Please shut down the government. It will inure to our benefit.

Thank you in advance.

BTW that pantload is bullsh--ing.

[peekaloo]

7. Summer reruns.

Gearing up for his rallies, I suppose.

[DetlefK]

8. I'm fine with that.

[Turbineguy]

9. Shutting it down

or collapsing it, it's just a matter of process.

[notdarkyet]

10. The Democrats aren't as easy to pressure as the stupid repubs who just fall in line. We don't like

Threats.

[Va Lefty]

11. We've already passed the point were there are "great people coming into our Country"

We are now at the point where great people are leaving the Country.

[dalton99a]

12. Deplorables will hear: "We need WHITE people like Norwegians

and geniuses like Malaria"

[WePurrsevere]

13. While I hate that a shut down might hurt some people, many more will benefit...

If the Dems will stand strong against his bullying extortion tactics.

So, what the heck... come September, go for the gold and break the shutdown record, Trump. With Elections and your stupid wasteful ego stroking parade at stake I bet you won't last long.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Might as well, they ain't doing shit anyway except trashing things...

[saidsimplesimon]

29. It never ends, the sh..tler.

I agree we those who have yawned and said, "OK, shut it down". It will hurt some of US financially in the short term, but it will do some long term damage to the red brand, imo.

[Nay]

15. The random capitalization, unnecessary quote marks, constant exclamation points -- so, so

ignorant. So sick of this moron. So sick that so many people identify with him.

[Leith]

16. Why Does He Need Democratic Votes?

Republicans have majorities in every branch of the federal government.

Oh, yeah. He's just giving the base somebody besides himself to blame when he can't accomplish anything.

[duforsure]

18. When he has the majority in Congress

This is just another distraction from his being putins puppet. Willing to create chaos and distractions away from the truth, so his propaganda is more effective for him and putin.

[dalton99a]

25. +1

[NightWatcher]

19. Merit? His stripper wife got here abusing an "Einstein" visa.

Fuck yo wall.

[ck4829]

20. Schrodinger's Democrat strikes again I see

It's weird how Democrats don't control any branch of the government, are weak, can't do anything, and are at their lowest level of representation in the government in decades but yet it's our fault if the government gets shut down.

[Bleacher Creature]

21. It's actually pretty awesome that he's saying this out loud.

Shut downs are always about passing the blame. This tweet puts it all on him (notwithstanding the fact that it never would have made sense to blame the party completely shut out of power).

[empedocles]

22. If you find traitortrump comment 'awesome'

Imagine what the republicons are thinking.


Be great to be a fly on the wall in the 'con gathering places

[Bleacher Creature]

23. I think you know what I'm saying.

Every time there's a shutdown, there's a ridiculous debate as to who's at fault. The majority of the public understand that the fault clearly falls on the party whose entire mantra is about opposition to most giver functions.

What's awesome is that Trump just took responsibility for the next one, if it happens, thereby (hopefully) saving us all from that incredibly annoying debate.

[Initech]

24. Hey Trump: Fuck your wall! May it never get built!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Please proceed.

[onecaliberal]

27. He should get right on that straight away.

[C_U_L8R]

28. Stupid wall from a weakling.

Dumbest idea ever.

[no_hypocrisy]

30. Trump really believes his Board Room Shtik works in D.C.

And he can successfully bullshit and threaten legislators of both parties to bend to his will.

[LonePirate]

31. I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

He repeated that enough times during the campaign that surely he was truthful about that, wasn’t he? Oh, who am I kidding? He cannot open his mouth without lying.

[donkeypoofed]

32. Did he stomp his foot and cross his arms?!

Man-baby that he is !!

Wonder if they would've let his grandfather in if these rules were in place then? Germany didn't want him back when he tried to return there. Too bad.

[democratisphere]

33. Not this same old tired tweet.

Yawn.........
