[GMDino]

He's a pathological liar.

How anyone supports him or believes anything he says is beyond me.

Quote:“I don’t think you are going to see a shutdown…  If you did have it, it’s the Democrat’s fault. And I accepted the first one and I’m proud of what we accomplished because people learned during that shutdown all about the problems coming in from the Southern border. I accepted it, I’ve always accepted it. But this one I would never accept if it happens, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. But this one would be totally on the Democrats.”

President Trump on Monday blamed the partial government shutdown on Democrats, even as most Americans said it's Trump's fault that parts of the government have been shuttered for a record 24 days.

“Nancy and Cryin’ Chuck can end the Shutdown in 15 minutes. At this point it has become their, and the Democrats, fault!” Trump tweeted Monday morning.

Quote:Trump blames Democrats for possible shutdown after saying he'd own it


President Trump is attempting to shift blame for the possible government shutdown onto Democrats after explicitly saying he wouldn't.

Trump on Friday tweeted about the fact that the House of Representatives recently passed a spending bill that includes the $5 billion he has demanded forborder wall funding. But this has always been a non-starter in the Senate, where it can only pass with Democratic votes. Another bill that didn't include the $5 billion for the wall already passed the Senate, but
Trump refused to sign it.

Trump's refusal to sign that original stopgap bill is what triggered this shutdown standoff, but on Friday he suggested Democrats in the Senate will be the ones to blame for a shutdown if it happens.

Senator Mitch McConnell should fight for the Wall and Border Security as hard as he fought for anything. He will need Democrat votes, but as shown in the House, good things happen. If enough Dems don’t vote, it will be a Democrat Shutdown! House Republicans were great yesterday!

The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED. If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!

Just last week, Trump said during a meeting with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) that if a shutdown were to happen, he wouldn't blame them. "I am proud to shut down the government for border security," Trump told Schumer. "... I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it."
