Another shutdown?
 
Trump to Congress: Fund the Wall or I’ll Shut the Government

This is going to be very interesting and looks like Bannon is still whispering into Trump's ears. I very much doubt the GOP will want a government shutdown to happen again but Trump can veto and needs to be over ridden. I predict Trump is too weak politically and a chicken at heart that he will back off in the end.

I hope he does. All the federal government employees will get time off that will subsequently be reimbursed. Trump and the GOP will get a big, black eye and government employees get paid time off. Double win.

One of these days his supporters are going to wise up and realize little lord trump doesn't give one shit about this country or it's people, all he cares about is his own glory and getting his way, just like a spoilt child.

Bannon probably has information that Trump does not want to see on Breitbart.

If so, did Bannon quit or was he fired? I would bet on quit.

Shutting down the government will negatively impact social services provided to those most in need. With no federal dollars coming.... non profits providing social services will have an interruption in services.

His promise to the American people was that Mexico was going to pay for The Wall.:rolleyes: They told Trump to go fuck himself.

So now he is using extortion against the citizens of the United States to pay for his cockamamy idea. "Hey Donny, go fuck yourself you moronic scissorbill!"

Federal employees already get too much time off. Sounds like one of your wins is actually a loss for taxpayers.

Studies have shown that shutting down the government actually cost more than leaving it open. If it happens, it's entirely on Trump and the GOP.
