Trump's suicide wouldn't even bother me a little. He is willing to close the government to fulfill half of his campaign lie, mexican funding of a wall, so it is his fucking problem, and his downfall. now the republicans have to figure out how to stop his tantrum and make government open again.

Why not answer a simple question... if this is such a crisis, why didn't he fix it when he had majorities in both congressional houses, and could have passed it under Reconciliation with 50% votes?

Let me help you. He didn't have the votes for his stupid wall even then, as the border states republicans see the folly of spending the money that way.

Blaming democrats for his vanity freak out is dishonest.

“You know what I'll say? ‘Yes, if we don't get what we want one way or the other, whether it's through you, through military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the government.’”
Just to make sure the point was not too fine, he added, “And I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of this country don't want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it.”
