Who is responsible for the shut down?

We are blaming the shut down on the wrong people. Here is my thinking.
As a boy I lived in a neighborhood with a mentally challenged boy. The leading jerk kid, the bully, in the neighborhood told him that if he threw a rock through the window of the Jewish family in the neighborhood everyone would think him to be smart. So he threw the rock and got caught. Who was responsible.
Trump is the mentally challenged participant in this. Who is the leading jerk? Answer, Druggy Rush Limbaugh and the devil's trophy wife Ann Coulter. They are responsible.
