Donald Trump: Democrat Shutdown a ‘Nice Present’ for One Year Anniversary as President
breitbart ^ | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 01/20/2018 7:37:59 AM PST by davikkm

President Donald Trump boasted that the Democrats were giving him a political gift after they voted against a bill that would fund the government late Friday night. “This is the One Year Anniversary of my Presidency and the Democrats wanted to give me a nice present,” Trump wrote on Twitter with the hashtag #DemocratShutdown.

Trump challenged Democrats for focusing more on amnesty for illegal immigrants than funding the government.

“Democrats are far more concerned with Illegal Immigrants than they are with our great Military or Safety at our dangerous Southern Border,” he wrote. “They could have easily made a deal but decided to play Shutdown politics instead.”

On Friday afternoon, Trump met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over cheeseburgers at the White House to discuss a possible deal, but it was ultimately rejected.

The lefty socialist dems have just handed Donald Trum the 2018 midterm election. The Republican seats in the Senate will increase by as much as 10.

How does the Senate know when they need 60 votes to pass a bill? In 1993, when Clinton proposed a big tax rate increase, the Senate vote was 49-49. VP Gore broke the tie, helping the bill pass.

The US is so weak now that without an emphatic figure like Donald Trump it couldn’t go anywhere at all. God help us. Donald Trump is, at best, eight short years.

NBC this morning was all about it’s Trump’s fault...
Many time they mentioned the repub’s have control of WH, Senate, and House...

Only once, in passing, did they mention it took 60 votes to pass the bill...The republicans have 51 votes...

The whole fiasco is the fault of the anti-American democrats...PERIOD...

Trump should let all non-essential government employees go.
As well as eliminate all non-essential government programs.

Your keyboard to God's ears. They have to be a solid 10, though, not squishy like our two Arizona embarrassments.

The news media, by giving so much attention to everything Donald Trump says, has inadvertently given him a cudgel to beat them with.

PDT does know how to get his message across to the public by going over and under and through the news media.

It seems to be working this time too. Previously, while obviously the Democrats’ fault, this time the people seem to be hearing the other side of the story and it does not look good for Democrats.

Dems put illegal aliens ahead of our military, our safety, our laws.
Dems put illegals ahead of the citizens when felonies are committed by these illegal aliens.

Perhaps we all should adopt Latino names to revert to when we commit a felony. It’s easy folks. Just call yourself Juan Gomez, or Anita Lopez. It’s a get out of jail free card.

It’s amazing how easy it is for the Deplorables to understand it all when spoken by our POTUS!

Senator Gillibrand is all over Facebook today saying Trump manufactured the shutdown.

These people have no shame.

Well, there is a large family of Trumps, including a new grandson.

Well true, but I mean really God do help us. As in not needing an emperor. We might have a kindly Republican emperor for fifty years but then what happens when a Democrat edges in?
