Trump Calls for Government Shutdown
NewsMax ^ | Sunday, 24 September 2023 | Nick Koutsobinas

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday night called for better Republican leadership in the Senate and ostensibly a shutdown of the government.

"The Republicans lost big on Debt Ceiling, got NOTHING, and now are worried that they will be BLAMED for the Budget Shutdown. Wrong!!!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Whoever is President will be blamed, in this case, Crooked (as Hell!) Joe Biden!

"Our Country," he continued, "is being systematically destroyed by the Radical Left Marxists, Fascists and Thugs - THE DEMOCRATS. UNLESS YOU GET EVERYTHING, SHUT IT DOWN! Close the Border, stop the Weaponization of 'Justice,' and End Election Interference - WE MUST HAVE HONEST ELECTIONS. It's time Republicans learned how to fight! Are you listening Mitch McConnell, the weakest, dumbest, and most conflicted 'Leader' in U.S. Senate history? HE'S ALREADY GIVEN THE DEMOCRATS EVERYTHING, THEY CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LUCKY THEY GOT. WE NEED NEW, & REAL, REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE, NOT A CLONE OF MITCH, & WE NEED IT NOW!!!"

Earlier, in a separate post, according to Mediaite, Trump said "every" Senate Democrat should step down. The former president's comment follows the indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., on bribery charges.

"Senate Democrats should all resign based on Senator Bob Menendez!" Trump wrote. "They all knew what was going on, and the way he lived."

What do I think about Donald Trump?

Well, I think he’s God’s man for the hour. He stands against the Satanic Left like no other. He loves America and has given his all to defended her and rescue her.

God bless him.

But does Trump really know what makes America great? I don’t think so. He seems to think the answer is using unconstitutional government “the right way” (ie doing the wrong thing the right way). But as Reagan repeated often, “[Unconstitutional] government isn’t the solution, it is the problem.”

Trump (and America in general) seem lost on the idea that the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution CREATES AND DEFINES the United States of America as a Free Constitutional Republic. (Even Trump talks about America in terms of “democracy” which it is not.)

So Trump is here to wage war on those who hate America and to make America strong again. But when he’s done, then what? He’s “saving” America by using the $3+ trillion 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal government. But what makes America strong and great? Unconstitutional government????

NO!!!

What makes America strong and wealthy is CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM FROM GOVERNMENT!!!!

America in the 1800’s was one of the freest societies ever in history. Government spending was a mere 5% or so of the GDP. Nobody thought about the feds. Everyone was too busy living their lives as they saw fit. And what emerged from the 1800’s and into the 1900’s was the feest, stongs, and wealthiest nation in the world. Because of government???? No!!! Because of CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM FROM GOVERNMENT!!!!

We Republicans (not necessarily conservative), have gone along with (translation: almost no extent push back) with the CR's every time and every time, NOTHING is ever really accomplished.

IMO, now being almost winter, what can really be "shut down" that would TRULY affect us . . . OR . . . the "government" ?

They're already announcing "covid deaths" . . . . . (2,000 in the US, on ABC this morning) in preparation for shutting US DOWN AGAIN !

We MUST now push back.

I'm backing PRESIDENT Trump.

No...not the right time if there is such a thing. What we have to do is get rid of all of these “no fossil fuels” initiatives...No way is climate effected by one single factor amounting to 0.4% of the UNIVERSE'S atmosphere.No one knows what the temperature of the earth should be at any point on earth and at any point of time. It's absurd.

Let's get the natural gas flowing...and the oil present in almost all our commodities back on track.

There’ll be a “deal” and conservatives here will argue over mundane issues like who should be Trump’s Veep.
While White, stock Americans continue to be displaced and destroyed by open borders and the hookup interracial culture.

Says the man who signed every single Omnibus, and grew the deficit by more than any President in history. 25% of the national debt happened in his four short years as Prez. Now he says do something? Gimme a break.

Yep, as bad as Matt Gaetz comes across, he’s right. Get something BIG or shut it down.

Matt Gaetz is a breath of fresh air in D.C.

That’s why the media despises him so much.

As usual, Donald Trump is correct on shutting down the globalist government in Washington.

Hopefully I won a one year hiatus from you posting a reply to me, that would be some prize.

Thanks for outing yourself again by avoiding addressing the point and your attack on Matt Gaetz

LOL...you're more of an amateur than even a semi-pro.

You will still get your Social Check or Disability Check with no delay.
There is never a good time for those that think like you.

Our economy is very unstable right now. Shutting it down does nothing...If the Dems don't get it this week...they'll get it next week.

I'm 80...yes...SS. And I paid from age 16 to age 75.
