We ALL heard you LOUD and CLEAR….
Over the last week we have ALL watched you try to push things over to the Democrats , specifically in-coming Speaker of the House Democrat Nancy Pelosi….
Keep trying…
It ain’t gonna work…..And trying to change the word ‘wall’ that you have used for more than 2 years ins’t gonna work much either….
Granted…
When this thing does get settled you will probably get some ‘fence’ money….
This is gonna be about you Donald….
No one else….
You are gonna have to decide if you are the President of ALL 300 million plus Americans…..
Or?
Just a puppet dancing to the tune of the rightwingnut media…..
The White House is waging a public relations campaign aimed at shifting blame for what could be a lengthy government shutdown to the top House Democrat and away from President Donald Trump even though he just days ago he said he was “proud” to single-handily own it.
Trump and the top two Democratic leaders engaged in a televised war of words on December 11 in an Oval Office confrontation during which the president took ownership of the coming partial shutdown. The president told them he would be “proud to shut down the government for border security,” adding he would “take the mantle” before roaring this: “I’m not going to blame you for it.”
But Trump is now blaming House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat expected to again become speaker next week. The calculation is a political one: Pelosi was one of Trump’s favorite foils in his 2016 presidential campaign and as he hit the trail for November’s midterm elections. And he and his aides made clear she will be a focal point of his expected 2020 re-election campaign….
The idea that Trump’s people have decided that the way to get their guy thru the next year of brutal political and legal battles is to focus on the 2020 election is purely ludicrous …..
For a lot of us?
Donald Trump is NOT gonna have enough support to be elected garbageman if he continues on his present political course….

Democrats harden their stance against giving Trump money for a “wall’….
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Democrats would not give President Donald Trump funding for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Jeffries said, “At its core, our responsibility in government is to manage public money. We can either manage it efficiently or we can waste taxpayer dollars. And what Donald Trump and the Republicans want to do is waste $5 billion in taxpayer money on an ineffective, medieval border wall that is a 5th century solution to a 21st century problem.”
He continued, “Yes, we need comprehensive immigration reform. Yes, we need to enhance border security. But we are not willing to pay $2.5 billion or $5 billion and wasting taxpayer dollars on a ransom note because Donald Trump decided that he was going to shut down the government and hold the American people hostage. That’s unreasonable.”
