Asked Who 'Gets Fired' In An Obama Shutdown, Trump Told Fox News: The President

[edbermac]

President Donald Trump believes responsibility for a government shutdown goes straight to the top, right to the president’s office. At least that’s what he said on Fox News — when he was talking about Barack Obama in 2013.

Trump revealed his views when he was asked on “Fox & Friends” about a pending government shutdown which occurred over a funding battle in October that year.

“Boardroom here,” said host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, referring to Trump’s reality TV show “The Apprentice,” in which he summarily fired people. “Who’s getting fired? Who’s going to bear the brunt of the responsibility if indeed there is a government shutdown?” she asked Trump, who had called in to the program.

“If you say who gets fired it always has to be the top,” Trump responded. “Problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. And the president’s the leader. He’s got to get everyone in a room and he’s gotta lead. But he doesn’t do that,” Trump added, referring to Obama.

“And that’s why you have this horrible situation going on in Washington. It’s a very, very bad thing and it’s very embarrassing worldwide.”

He also noted that when people look back on a shutdown in history, they’re “going to be talking about ... who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head of the Senate, who’s running things in Washington.”

5. Too far out

Voters unfortunately have short memories. This shutdown will fade from memory long before November 3, 2020.

6. There never was an 'Obama shutdown' or a 'Clinton shutdown' for that matter.

Over the past 30 years, every single shutdown was orchestrated by the Republicans. Most of them a direct result of one single Republican, Newton Leroy Gingrich. Who, not coincidentally, is on the scene yet again. Also, each was completely unnecessary and politically motivated.

8. petition putin to recall his puppet

Or, call Senators and tell them to fire Trump for the trump shutdown.
