Trump will shut down the government and go play golf in Florida for two weeks.

because he's a clueless idiot who doesn't realize how it looks.
Just so we can make some great campaign ads for 2020.
Thanks Trump!

1. I think he knows how it looks

But what it looks like in his warped mind is "Boy, I showed those losers but good! I'm off playing golf and relaxing, and they're all left trying to pick up that turd I left by the clean end." His hiatus is all paid for, so what does he care if some flunkies don't get paid and a bunch of offices he doesn't use close up for a while? As long as the Diet Coke button still works.

2. Trump Lacks a Conscience. This Frees Him to do Pretty Much Anything He Wants

We are seeing an epidemic of sociopaths and psychopaths in the White House.

3. No - he's not clueless and he knows exactly what he's doing.

He'll shut the government down and he'll go play golf...and the MSM will cover his every move to document his lack of concern for the American condition (as if it were news). They won't be covering the latest Mueller updates, the humanitarian crisis imminent in Syria with the US withdrawal (far beyond what's already in place), or the "calming" of tensions between Turkey and Saudi/MBS.

Everything will be drowned out by the "he doesn't care" story line. And he'll have accomplished EXACTLY what he set out to do.

4. he can try but the media is not letting him change the headlines right now, Especially MSNBC & CNN

5. Good to know. They're saying..

"It's trump's shutdown"?

[lunatica]

6. Yes and they're talking to Syria experts

The panels have gone from lawyers and ex prosecutors to war and international experts.

The prognosis is pretty bad, and includes the loss of power of the US in the future.

7. Which is what puting and traitortrump want.

Thank You so much for the synopsis, lunatica!
