President Trump is reportedly fuming that his threats, firings, and program cuts haven’t gotten Senate Democrats to cave to Republicans and end the shutdown.
Trump, 79, thought the shutdown would last ten days at most, believing that the unprecedented and illegal firings of federal workers by his “grim reaper‚” OMB head Russ Vought, would be enough to get Democrats to give up, sign the Republicans’ budget bill, and thus re-open the government.

There it is. The dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Politicians in Congress are “playing politics” with politicians in the White House. Which is what they were all fucking elected to do.
It makes sense when Trump and his cronies have been trying to run the entire United States like a business.
And we all know that Trump has never run a successful business because he thinks CEOs should be treated like kings.
It’s called “doing your job” so no wonder he’s confused. Never met a Republican who hasn’t tried their hardest not to do anything.
