What happens if Trump refuses to sign a bill funding the govt and goes on vacation to Mar-a-Lago?

1. Optics would look bad, but probably not as bad as some other time of year.

Most people tune out politics around holidays. So it won't look good on him, but the timing sort of helps him.

6. American civil servants left high and dry financially at CHRISTMAS while he takes an

unusually long luxury vacation at taxpayer expense.

I think we can use that in our messaging.

2. I would hope

That Democrats point out that he is lavishing himself with the finer things in life while the government is shut down. I think they should continue to voice that until trump ends the shutdown. They should also point out that trump said repeatedly that "MEXICO" would pay for the wall, not American taxpayers. They should have someone on the networks pointing all this out everyday the shutdown is going on.

3. He puts the Republican Party along with everyone else in a world of hurt.

I actually think some milestones and lines for Trump have been crossed. He is in a Narcissistic meltdown, markers came in from Russia, he is in a perpetual bad news cycle, markets are on the verge, and he gains new enemies every day. He is holding hostage and seems willing to kill the hostages.

4. Not a damn thing.

It'll be a couple late night jokes and that'll be that, unfortunately.

5. Hmmmmmmmm

if the government is shut down then I guess Mar-A Lago can't bill it for being used by him can it?

7. He might want to consider beefing up his security, especially on the golf course.
