He wants cooperation? He gets up in front of cameras and calls the congresswoman a disgrace and yet he did it twice over to our leadership in a private meeting? According to the The Daily Beast, his meeting was laced with profanity and wanted the shutdown called a strike.
One of these knowledgeable sources told The Daily Beast President Trump kicked off the meeting with a rant lasting roughly 15 minutes that included his $5.6 billion demand for a border wall, and threatened that he was willing to keep the government closed for “years” if that’s what it took to get his wall. He also, unprompted, brought up the Democrats who want him impeached, and even blamed Pelosi for new Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib saying at a party earlier this week that Democrats would impeach the “motherfucker” Trump. (It is unclear why Trump would think Pelosi was responsible for this.)
Trump proceeded to tell the room he was too popular to impeach.
Along with saying the word “fuck” at least three times throughout the meeting, the president bizarrely stated that he did not want to call the partial government shutdown a “shutdown,” according to the source. Instead, he referred to it as a “strike.” (Many of the federal employees affected by the weeks-long shutdown have been working without pay. That is essentially the opposite of a strike.)
I can’t stomach this unhinged thing much longer. We have flu season and the CDC is federal. We have HUD, SNAP, and all in dire straits due to the fact a 5 year old wants to put this country into a real National security crisis because he wants a monument wall in a desert that he can claim.
Puerto Rico is still in tatters, people living in tents from Michael and destroyed lives from the California wildfires and this idiot want a wall that won’t work to appease a bunch of ignorant people who do not understand how government works.
I think Trump should lose his Secret Service Protection, which of course would cause our Former Presidents to lose their’s but all staff should walk out of the White House and have Melania get away from the mirror and do some laundry. I would prefer she use a washboard. For those too young to know what a washboard is, here you go...
x xYouTube VideoI think we should not pay for his heat or electricity or fuel in that armored vehicle.
I think he needs to feel what a real strike is. I visualize him chasing down wharf rats running amuck in the White House. If he wants a strike, “ The people should give him one”.
He is playing the fear factor but he really needs to feel the stress and consequences of pulling a stunt over a wall that has not even been put on a drawing board, that won’t work and only to appease his ego. Real lives are impacted and it should include his.
