WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s trip to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week is now in flux because of the federal government shutdown, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said on Saturday.

Trump already canceled a weekend trip to his Florida resort after a funding impasse in Congress shut down the federal government on Saturday.

“The president will not be going to Florida now and we’re taking Davos, both from the president’s perspective and the Cabinet perspective, on a day by day basis,” Mulvaney said.

1. Trump already looks pretty stupid

But he'd look like a real fool showing up at the World Economic Forum after scuttling one of the world's greatest economies. But that might be the exact reason he'll go. What a moron. What an embarrassment.

2. Maybe Trump should go. He might get some good free advice, e.g.,

resign, or even better, hari-kari.

3. Or at least some laughs

5. drumpf will be the laughing stock in Davos whether he is or isn't there.

6. I think they in the White House

were looking for a excuse to bail on Davos. World sentiment this past week really did not want anything to do with Trump or any of his Brats.

7. Please don't let him go

He's like that one relative you don't want to see but really don't want others to see.

8. Wasn't There Swiss Action to Prohibit Trump From Entering The Country?

If so, the shutdown might provide good cover.
