President Donald Trump once again unleashed what’s become his presidential hallmark: a bizarre, winding, threatening press conference, this time following his White House meeting with Democratic leaders Friday to try to break the impasse causing the government shutdown.

In a long, meandering briefing in the Rose Garden, Trump told reporters the partial shutdown now heading into its third week could go on for months, even years, if Democrats don’t give him the $5.6 billion he’s demanding to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall. The Democrats have steadfastly refused. The shutdown has affected some 800,000 federal workers — 420,000 of them forced to work without pay — since Dec. 22.

“This is national security we’re talking about,” Trump said. “We’re not talking about games.“

When asked if there was any “safety net” for workers going without pay as the shutdown continues, Trump responded: “The safety net is going to be having a strong border.”

Trump also floated another way he could get his wall: declaring a state of national emergency over border security to build it without congressional approval.

“I could do it if I wanted,” Trump said.

If y’all are curious as to why I get so militant about the politics well it may or may not have something to do with the fact that the president of America is a wild man who believes things he himself made up and who talks about dissolving his own government and installing himself as a dictator as if it ain’t no big deal.

“I could do it if I wanted” indeed.  Those words probably gonna haunt my dreams tonight ngl

He’s literally holding our entire government HOSTAGE
until he gets his way.

Can we petition the UN to come save us? 

every day this goes on more and more politicians realize that siding with him is political suicide, the ability to veto darth cheeto is real

I cannot fathom how anyone would be blind enough to still think this man is right or honest in any sense of the word

trump supporters baffle me

be a republican but how can you not SEE how much of a dishonest distgusting  fuckhead this guy is?

Republicans should be ASHAMED that this is the man who is representing them

and if they still aren’t then I’m sorry, they can burn with this country then

i mean seriously who gives a shit about “national security” when most of us in the US don’t even have medical or financial security?

pretty sure it’s the economy and businesses fucking us over every day, not mexican families trying to find a better place to live

remember kids, immigrants are not stealing jobs. the employers are exploiting their undocumented status to get cheaper labor.
