Vee Report post Posted January 9 Trump on the political implications of caving on shutdown: "If I did something that was foolish, like gave up on border security, the first ones that would hit me are my Senators... The second ones would be the House. And the third ones would be frankly my base."— Ryan Struyk (@ryanstruyk) January 9, 2019 Trump’s message to Senate Republicans, per Rubio, was “Stick together.” POTUS also said declaring a nation emergency remained an option— Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) January 9, 2019 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khan Report post Posted January 9 (edited) Translation: "If I give up on the wall, I'll look like a loser -- and I'm not a loser, Daddy, I'm not!" No matter how Trump and/or his PR folks will spin it, the fact that Pelosi and Schumer's message drew higher ratings than his will be what hurts him personally most of all. I love it.

Roman Report post Posted January 9 According to a source familiar with the meeting, the Senate minority leader had confronted Trump in the situation room about the human cost of the partial shutdown, which has left some federal employees with diminishing means to pay for basic necessities. “You’re using people as leverage. Why won’t you open the government and stop hurting people?” Schumer said. According to the source, Trump replied: “Because then you won’t give me what I want.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DramatistDreamer Report post Posted January 10 Pelosi said Trump seems to be insensitive to federal workers who won't receive their next paycheck due to the shutdown. "He thinks maybe they can just ask their father for more money, but they can't," she said. https://t.co/9M4lBo3ZZD pic.twitter.com/WuX8KJh8ui — POLITICO (@politico) January 9, 2019 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
