Trump tells Dems that he’ll hold their voters hostage until he gets his wall: ‘Most of the people not getting paid are Democrats’

President Donald Trump returned from his visit to American troops in Iraq on Thursday to once again demand that Democrats fully fund his proposed border wall — or else.

Writing on Twitter, Trump told Democrats that they were only hurting their own supporters by not caving to his demands for wall funding.



...........While Trump is now claiming that most government workers harmed by the shutdown are Democrats, earlier in the week he claimed that government workers were actually applauding him for making sure that they didn’t get paid over the holidays because they wanted him to hold out until he got funding for the wall.

He would exact "revenge" on me if I didn't give him what he wanted. And I was his daughter.

I hope those that voted for this idiot realize their mistake.

Only 8 years after an idiot puke--who gets into the presidency through dubious circumstances--proceeds to crash the economy, blow up the deficit, and lie the country into war, the nation put another idiot puke within stealing distance of the presidency, which means of course that the pukes installed him.

After chimpy, I thought the country had learned its lesson. Obviously not.

lets get out there and put it all together,

"Trump said it is HIS shut down, then he said it was dems' shutdown, then he said the unpaid workers applaud not getting paid, then he said it is dems who are not getting paid, then he said he will hold a political party, dems, hostage.. and next,,, it is all bull shit., folks, wake up, all lies and bull shit..... "

There ya go CNN, MSNBC et al, there is your script.. You can run THAT for 45 minutes straight while I'm on the elliptical at the gym.
