I am so glad the Democrats are not giving in. President Trump should be ignored.
It's like he is throwing this hissy fit, and he is going to punish the American people until he gets his way. Except most of the American people don't want what he wants, don't believe it is a crisis, and wish he would just go ahead and cave.
I think he should go ahead and take the heat of crying wolf and declare an official emergency and claim success. Then he will take the heat of using emergency money meant for wildfire and hurricane response. Take the money from the Florida and Puerto Rico Hurricane recovery operations which are still in progress. Take it from the California fire recoveries which are still in progress. See how popular that makes him. Have that played out in the courts. Let him face all the scrutiny of making such a stupid decision, showing how bad an executive he can be.
The longer this goes on, the more people are learning about everything our government does for us.
Now we are getting no food inspections, no transportation accident analysis, no new equipment installation approvals required to operate and go into business, no loans. Heck. The new US Senators don't even have a web page or an email contact. That's going to force determined people to fill their phone lines with messages.
Yes. Let the people learn all the government does for them. Let them learn, with every passing day, how this shut down hurts our nation. Pelosi and Schumer are ready to pass legislation to fund the government, have already passed it. It is not their fault at all. Trump is the one holding things up. He could end it any time he wants to with one signature. The crisis is sitting in the Oval Office. Everybody knows it no matter what you tell yourself. Any other President and we would not be having this problem.
And the really dumb things that now the economy has already bled more than he is asking for. What that means is not only did he not get Mexico to pay for it, he got America to pay for it without getting it. We already paid for it and we got nothing. And it will only get worse the longer he holds out.
