trump’s 1 year anniversary of being president is starting off with the government shutting down that’s the perfect representation of how american politics has been going for the past year

The government got shut down when Obama was president as well.

It’s not new.

Stop blowing it out of proportion.

It’s not a rare occurrence.

When the government shutdown under the Obama administration it was a divided government. Which made more sense because under a divided government it’s harder to compromise.

Here we are, 2018, and the Republicans control ALL branches of the government. They still failed to compromise and negotiate.

This is the first time the government shutdown under a one-party government. Ever.

This is most definitely a rare occurrence. Very rare.

Special addition: Trump said back in 2013 that government shutdowns only happen when the president is bad at his job.
