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.

    Agreed. Bear Gryllis is a showman.

    My turnpoint was when he was dropped and finding his way home and said “Never jump a cliff into unknown waters” just to see him jump a cliff 15min later in the same episode.
