Trump: US ‘Needs A Good Shutdown’
thehill.com ^ | 05/02/17

Posted on 05/02/2017 6:25:41 AM PDT by Helicondelta

President Trump on Tuesday called for a "good shutdown" in September to fix the "mess” in government.

"The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We … either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good "shutdown" in September to fix mess!" he wrote in a series of tweets.

When he said that , every Republican politician in Washington , D.C. soiled their pants. Saying “Government Shutdown” to a Republican is like shoving a cross into the face of a Vampire. A Republican Politician would sell his mother, daughter, wife, or son into prostitution to avoid that. A female Republican Politician would do the same.

“This is the greatest historic surrender since the Japanese surrendered after WWII.”

Exaggerate much?

You can argue all you want, the laws are the laws...When President Trump lays HIS budget in Sept. then we will fight, and fight hard...this isn’t the hill to die on...this is the remainder of Obama’s budget term...that’s why President Trump isn’t fighting that hard for it, I’m glad he got Military and Border Security into it...he knew it would pass because this isn’t HIS budget...

You need to read how the budgets are done...

Gee whiz. Sunday 4/30 would have been a good day. But why do that when you can give your opponents 4 months notice on what your plans are? Makes perfect sense. NOT.

Why wait? SHUT IT DOWN NOW!

I know if I were President Trump I would not stand for this knife in all of our backs. Rinos need to be shown that we're not going to take their $hit any longer.

Pres. Trump has effectively ABDICATED on ObamaCARE,
on the border wall, and on the budget to:
Ryan, Romney and Gorelick.

This will not end well.

NO President Trump hasn’t given up on healthcare...what this budget thing is, like I keep repeating to everyone, is the end of the Obama Budget...

Budgets go Sept. to Sept. I’m glad that President Trump got Military and Border expenditures into it, most incoming Presidents can’t do that because there is a budget...

Obama NEVER had a budget, he went into office in 2008 and there was NEVER a budget, this that you just saw, was how he ran his government, he didn’t want a budget like other Presidents had because he wanted money when he wanted it for his Muslim Bros. and the Iran Deal and other things he was doing, and with a budget he couldn’t do what he wanted...

Watch what happens when President Trump lays out HIS budget in Sept. That is the hill we fight for and we will win it...

10th?? I think more like 1,000th with all the hyperventilating, pearl-clutching Trump-has-abandoned-everything-he-stood for going on around here today.

Bets on how many of the chicken-littles didn’t actually vote, at least not for Trump.

IF bami had had a budget, President Trump wouldn’t have been able to ‘add’ Military and Border monies to that budget; therefore, because bami DID NOT have a budget, President Trump had the opportunity to add these two items, which are two of three of his main goals of his time in Office to do...

Stop and think about that for a minute...this makes it stronger for HIS budget in Sept. when he gives the Congress HIS budget...

The dems have just been ‘played’...they approved the Military and Border monies, how are they going to take it back now when he lays out HIS budget??? They can’t...they lost the ground they stood on...

So now he can rest on his laurels: “I nominated Gorsuch”?

That’s matrix talk, a non sequiter and Clinton’s an easy strawma—creature.
Back to the point, the budget: the `rats get everything they want, from funding for infanticide to PBS, to all their discretionary spending boondoggles ... and we get a rubber biscuit.
And the president says, “I’m good with that ...” No, “Why, that flies in the face of what 30 states and 306 electoral votes mandated! I can’t wait to veto it.”

Helping Trump win was the penultimate goal. The whole point of doing that was so we could get what WE wanted.
We may as well have Hellary now. There’s your reality. Take the red pill, FRiend: it was all talk. We’re getting hosed. If he signs this I can already see the memes, president Trump on the deck of the US Missouri, his head photoshopped onto the body of the Japanese representative signing the articles of surrender.
It’s shameful.

I’m not drinking anything...

I supported Candidate Trump 100% and I’m supporting President Trump 100%...I am NOT however ‘pearl clutching and couch fainting’ like I am seeing lately...

This man is one of the smartest people I have ever seen, I’ve been in New York, I have read everyone of his books, and while living on the East Coast you always knew what he was doing, where he was going and who he was associating with...this man stands for America and Her People and if you can’t take the ‘heat these stupid libs, media, talking heads and radio show hosts’ are spewing out of their two faced mouths, then leave...we will not miss you and we just might push you off the Trump Train at full speed!!!
